Republicans got a chance to ask some questions of the FBI this week and the responses were rather telling.
Senator Ted Cruz asked an assistant director for the FBI if the bureau was involved in the events of January 6th and also about Ray Epps, a man believed by many to be a fed instagator who was posing as a Trump supporter.
The FBI figure played dumb over the whole thing or simply said she couldn’t respond, which is only making people more suspicious.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Ted Cruz grills FBI on Ray Epps, asks if FBI had informants on Jan. 6
Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday grilled a top FBI official on whether bureau informants were present at the Jan. 6 riots — zeroing in on a man named Ray Epps.
Jill Sanborn, the FBI’s executive assistant director for the national security branch, refused to answer key questions, saying she could not disclose “sources and methods.” Sanborn said she was not aware of any FBI agents inciting violent or criminal conduct on Jan. 6.
Cruz cited a video showing Epps encouraging people to enter the Capitol. The crowd accused him of being a federal agent. Cruz said Epps was initially put on a list from the FBI looking for information on the Capitol riot. He also said Epps was taken off the public posting later and has not been charged to date.
