Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled U.S. officials on whether the FBI had any involvement in the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters.

During a U.S. Senate hearing, in which national security officials from the Department of Justice testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the threat of domestic terrorism, Cruz pushed a theory that has been made prominent by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

... Cruz asked a series of questions, including, “How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?”

Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director for the FBI’s National Security Branch, responded, “Sir, I am sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods…”...

‘Cruz’s line of questioning comes days after he very publicly walked back having called some Jan. 6 rioters, particularly those who attacked police officers, “terrorists.”’

And so?

The January 6 witch hunt had an interesting statement released that only denied Epps being employed by law enforcement.

Consider for comparison that we learned in ‘16 that the Hillary and the DNC was using PACs to stir up trouble (collusion between either candidate or party and PAC is illegal, btw) by sending in agitators.

Ted may have stepped in it a couple of days ago, but he and Rand Paul are the masters at grilling these ridiculously corrupt people.

At least not yet. But unless he turns on them I think he’s safe and will be protected. After all making an example of a loyal minion is bad for recruiting future minions.

I'll bet 10-to-1 that you were a Trey Gowdy fan. I hate to break it to you but Rooster-head was all false advertising.

sadly we never hear about the murder of Ashley Babbit by that racist whitey hating black from south America.

The US Govt murdered a gal and nobody in Washington seems to give a damn. Why?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to find him scraping everyone's windows during the next Texas freeze.

Sanborn can’t go into the specifics of “sources and methods” because that would mean admitting that the FIB staged an attack on Congress

Yup. Grilled good, though. Didn’t have much follow-through.

I agree with your statement and won’t hang Cruz to dry because of a verbal misstep, but I’d sure like to see a bit more than ‘grilling’. I’d prefer the meat they’re grilling so skillfully served up on a platter with garnish for dinner. And we’ve been waiting a long time for dinner.

Trey Gowdy was, is, and always will be a performance artist Larping as a patriot. I think Rand Paul’s heart is in the right place but Ted Cruz is just, to put it bluntly, a faithless dick - He will put it in anywhere for the right amount of cash.

Based on my extensive experience watching true crime shows and crime dramas, Mr. Ray Epps is now under FBI protective custody if still alive!

You think they will want to take the chance?

The best way to stay safe is to spill the beans. That removes the reason to “silence” him and makes a move against him too obvious.
