'I can't answer that': FBI executive assistant director REFUSES to tell Ted Cruz if any agents or confidential informants 'actively participated' in Jan 6: Cruz demands more information on 'plant' Ray Epps

An FBI agent refused to give answers on Tuesday as to who Ray Epps is and whether any agents or informants participated in any capacity in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Senator Ted Cruz demanded to know the level of involvement, if any, the agency had in the deadly attack last year and wanted to know more about an ex-Marine accused of being an FBI plant sent to help incite the events last year.

'How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th?' Cruz asked the FBI's Executive Assistant Director of the National Security Branch Jill Sanborn during a hearing on domestic violence threats on Tuesday.

'Sir, I'm sure you can appreciate that I can't go into the specifics of sources and methods –' Sanborn began, but was cut off but Cruz re-asking the same question.

'I can't answer that,' said Sanborn, who joined the hearing virtually.

'Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on January 6?' Cruz pushed.

'I can't answer that.'

'Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6?' the Texas Republican senator asked.

Sanborn repeated the same answer for a third time.

Where the hell was this POS last year? And what about the Americans held in prison for over a year now without a trial or any due process? The Constitution is officially dead now. The only thing we could possibly do at this point is a national strike. But the American people no longer have any fight left in them at all.

I was waiting for Cruz to ask the obvious next question but it never came.

“Why can’t you answer the question”...

Precisely.

Garland and Wray wouldn’t authorize her to substitute the word WON’T for CAN’T.

Orwell-speak.

According to Tucker Carlson tonight, right on cue the January 6th committee announced in a tweet that they had interviewed Epps in November and that he had no connection with any law enforcement organization, including the FBI.

Why would they wait this long to announce this? Was this under oath? The big question is, are they even telling the truth at all, or are they just trying to cover up for their pals in the FBI?

The Constitution was dead the minute the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia was sworn in in direct violation of that Constitution.

It says natural born citizen.

Obama is not one.

No one born with more than ONE nationality is naturally an American.

There is no penalty for a Congressional committee or their witnesses lying to the public. During Russiagate, committee members and witnesses repeatedly lied to the press about whether they had ‘evidence’.

Isn’t the answer self evident?

You know you’ve got trouble when a bureau plays coy with a senate hearing.

When our public servants masters tell us that pleading the 5th amendment just proves that Deplorables" are guilty then I am forced to retort that refusing to be honest with the American people with the response "I can't answer that." means that you're a f**king communist deserving the harshest reprisals.

We know that the FBI is corrupt and they are the law enforcement agency of the Democratic Party. Now what?

since she cannot say unequivocably no, her refusal means the answer is yes

no is an easy answer and dismisses speculation

in this case it would be a lie and lying to congress by a federal employee is a serious deal

so she cant answer

so the answer is yes

As I said on a similar thread earlier today, the only reason Cruz asked Sanborn that question, was because he knew he wouldn’t answer it. Cruz just trying to get in some brownie points.
