Top FBI official dodges when Cruz asks if agents participated in Jan. 6 riot
Fox News ^ | January 11, 2022 | Ronn Blitzer

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, grilled a senior FBI official on whether or not FBI agents or confidential informants played a role in the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2001, but she would not confirm nor deny anything.

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled, "The Domestic Terrorism Threat One Year After January 6," Cruz asked Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director for the FBI's national security branch, about suspicions held by some that government officials encouraged lawless behavior during the protest.

"How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?" Cruz asked.

Sanborn said in response that she could not discuss "the specifics of sources and methods" of the FBI.

Cruz then broadened his question by asking if any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the riot.

"Sir, I can’t answer that," she said.

Cruz then asked if any agents or confidential informants committed crimes of violence on Jan. 6. When he received the same answer, he asked if any agents or confidential informants "actively encouraged" crimes of violence on Jan. 6.

"Sir, I can’t answer that."

Cruz then brought up Ray Epps, who was seen on video the day before the riot, telling a crowd, "Tomorrow, we need to get into the Capitol! Into the Capitol!" The crowd responded by shouting, "Fed! Fed! Fed!" at him.

"Miss Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?" Cruz asked.

"Sir, I cannot answer that question," Sanborn replied.

Cruz asked more questions about Epps' actions, and Sanborn said she could not answer.

They can say encouraging people to GO INTO THE CAPITOL is not illegal activity. But then they said it was trespassing or disorderly conduct. So it’s another half truth or lie.

There hasn't been an exchange like this since Frank Church and the head of the CIA in the 1970's.

Good on Ted, he totally outed the Eff Bee Eye.

Now everybody knows the truth: the kerfuffle on Jan 6 was a total FED psyop.

Could not” answer .

It is in effect, a yes answer.

If it was “ no” she would have said no.

Checkmate.

( a no answer is perjury if the real truth is yes, therefore the I cannot answer is a class 1 CYA from future prosecution imho.)

CHECKMATE.

Translation:
Cruz put into play act with FBI to try to cover up the fact that he is a puppet and a DID(Democrat In Drag).
Media puffs up poor acting performance.
