Jill Sanborn, FBI Executive Assistant Director, National Security Branch, refused to answer on Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing whether FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6, 2021, and whether they committed any crimes of violence or actively encouraged crimes of violence.
Sanborn was grilled by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on the matter and repeatedly stated that she could not answer the question because she could not “go into the specifics of sources and methods.”
The two had the following exchange:
CRUZ: I want to turn to the FBI. How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th?
SANBORN: Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods.
CRUZ: Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of January 6th? Yes or no?
SANBORN: Sir, I can’t. I can’t answer that.
CRUZ: Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on January 6th?
SANBORN: I can’t answer that, sir.
CRUZ: Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6th?
SANBORN: Sir, I can’t answer that.
WATCH:
When the dust settles, I fear we will see that they participated at the dumbocrats request – to impugn President Trump.
They won’t EVER admit anything !!!! Have to PROVE it & take them down !!!
They will use the Right to Remain SILENT !!!! Bet on that
In legal terms, non-answers to specific questions of this sort permit one to apply the adverse inference to the reply. In other words, if the FBI had clean hands she would have clearly said so.
Senator Cruz is a gifted lawyer who has argued numerous times before the Supreme Court with an enviable win record. Don’t know if the fib official was sworn in but she was careful to avoid an outright lie.
Jan 6 and covid BOTH democratic lead physc ops..the covid collusion with China and democrats / Jan 6 soros funded subversive groups and democrats colluded. History will reveal these deceptions.
