Senator Ted Cruz Confronts FBI Official Point Blank About the Feds’ Role in January 6
https://beckernews.com ^ | June 14, 2022 | by Kyle Becker

As the national media turns its attention to the partisan January 6 committee hearings amid rising energy costs, soaring inflation, and the risk of war overseas, it behooves us to bear in mind there are questions that the Democratic Party and the FBI refuse to answer about the Capitol Riots.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in scathing cross-examination of the FBI’s Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn on January 11th asked her about the Feds’ involvement in the Capitol building events. Her responses were downright chilling to watch:

“I want to turn to the FBI,” Cruz said. “How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th?”

“Sir? I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn replied.

“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of January 6th?’ Cruz went on. “Yes or no? January 6th?”

“No, sir,” Sanborn responded. “I can’t, I can’t answer that.”

“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on January 6th?” Cruz continued.

“I can’t answer that, sir,” she replied.

“Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6th?” he pressed.

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn responded.

“Ms. Sanborn. Who is Ray Epps?” Cruz asked.

“Yeah, I’m aware of the individual, sir,” she replied. “I don’t have the specific background to him.”

“Well, there are a lot of people who are understandably, very concerned about Mr. Epps,” Cruz zaid. “On the night of January 5th, 2021, Epps wandered around the crowd that had gathered and there’s video out there of him chanting, ‘Tomorrow, we need to get into the capital, into the capital.’ This was strange behavior. So strange that the crowd began chanting ‘Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed. Fed.’ Ms. Sandburn, was Ray Epps a Fed?”

“Sir,” she replied. “I cannot answer that question.”

“The next day, the next day on January 6th, Mr. Epps is seen whispering to a person,” Cruz went on. “And five seconds later, five seconds after he is whispering to a person, that same person begins to forcibly tear down the barricades. Did Mr. Epps urge them to tear down the barricades.”

“Sir,” the FBI official replied. “Similar to the other answers, I cannot answer that.”

Ms. Sanborn really didn’t have to. Her silence spoke for her.

****

we all know what she’s saying here. Cruz should have added “so which right supremacist group did you start and operate after j6?”

That’s as close to a confession of guilt as anyone will ever get from the FBI.

“Ms. Sanborn really didn't have to.. answer“

Yes, the F she does.

Do you know how to threaten, Sen. Cruz? Can you brow beat? How about upending the system?

You and your colleagues are burdensome trash.

So what?

These senators don’t really believe they are in charge of anything do they?

No its not scathing. Scathing is yelling, ‘Why are you lying to me?’ over and over. Hammer someone long enough they will in some way crack. Sen. Cruz, when are you going to stand up and say the FBI has become the American KGB and should be dismantled?

He would have had as much success asking her which shooters in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963 were controlled by the FBI.

So Cruz did his bit. He’s my hero! (sarcasm) So what has he and all the other RINOs in the Senate do since that hearing? Literally, all the other RINOs is every Republican, less one, in the Senate.

People continue to whine that there are good agents at fbi ... but I’m not seeing ANY. Not one agent level fbi goon has come forward to expose the criminal incitements of that agency, so I am left to conclude there ARE NO UPRIGHT AGENTS AT THE federal bureau of investigation. Demonrats have destroyed what was once an honorable agency for law enforcement. Close their damned doors and cancel pensions for these rat troopers.

Asking because I don't know...

1. Could Ms. Sanborn be required to supply someone to testify who could answer Senator Cruz' questions precisely? And,

2. Could Senator Cruz subpoena Mister Epps?

Just curious.

“That’s as close to a confession of guilt as anyone will ever get from the FBI.”

True, and that’s why there probably won’t be an indictment of Pres. Trump, because the indictment would trigger massive discovery that would reveal who the true criminals on January 6 were and the plots that went into the crimes of January 6, crimes that were not committed by Trump supporters.
