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.

If she gets away with it, it will be another Trey Gowdy vs Hilary Clinton stand off, ending in ‘What difference at this point does it make?’ I never felt the same about Gowdy after that. Gowdy was not ‘rowdy’ enough!
Cruz is acting based again? Must be Tuesday.
I’m sure it’s because he knows that if he did, he’d be signing his own and his family’s death warrants.
Accidents happen, you know.
It’s nice to be a Democrat...
That means Hollywood celebrities and the current Vice President as well as anyone else that participated in aiding and abetting- local prosecutors- the mayors of Salem, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis (to name a few) as well as the District Attorneys of Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle - the list is long.
Why aren’t these people in solitary confinement?
Put her under oath. Put them all under oath. Questioning these crooks without swearing them in is nothing but theater that plays to the crooks’ purposes.
Lying to or even misleading Congress is a felony regardless of being under oath. It just isn’t enforced on Democrats.
But nothing will happen to the US version of the KGB secret police. The criminal fbi will continue to entrap and imprison patriots with no end in sight.
Just wait. He will flip flop again as a strategy to get more useful idiots to vote for him for President. He is a lying politician after all.
Of course, The Guardian missed the real story. Sanborn could have said that the FBI did NOT have agents participating in illegal activities at the January 6 demonstration at the Capitol. Certainly, saying that would not disclose any 'sources and methods'.
The fact that she 'couldn't' say that proves that the FBI did, indeed, have agents doing it.
Republicans wanted the natural born citizen clause neutered, too.
Cruz, Jindal, Rubio, Haley and George P Bush are all ineligible and were seen as the future of the party.
They are the reason the GOP went along with the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Tells you all you need to jnow about who works for whom.
Disappointing that so many freepers do not understand that anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT NATURALLY an American.
Cruz was born with THREE, just like Obama.
It would have been revealing if Cruz asked her WHY she could not answer, did she not know, or was she told not to reveal this info, & if so, by whom?
Of course, and because there was no clarity the exercise seemed to be solely for show.
And there you have it. Incited and facilitated by the FBI. At whose direction? Three guesses.
Maybe she, as a member of “The Swamp”, is kept in an FBI closet and only brought out just for such questionings?
Telling she did not answer a question that is a matter of policy most are familiar with. Cruz asked if any FBI agents participated in illegal activity that day. Undercover law enforcement cannot commit crimes, even to maintain cover.
