Jill Sanborn, the FBI’s executive assistant director of the National Security Branch, was unable to provide answers during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about the potential involvement of federal informants during the 2021 Capitol riot.
In the hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked Sanborn on Tuesday, “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 began to answer.
“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6th? Yes or no?” Cruz interjected.
“Sir, I can’t — I can’t answer that,” Sanborn replied.
“Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6th?” Cruz pressed.
“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn repeated.
Cruz then inquired Sanborn about Ray Epps, who was seen several times on January 5 and 6 trying to instigate the crowd before the riot took place at the Capitol building. To date, Epps has not been arrested or is known to be charged with anything.
“On the night of January 5, 2021, Epps wandered around the crowd that were gathered and there’s video out there of him chatting tomorrow we need to get into the Capitol, into the Capitol. This was strange behavior, so strange that the crowd began chanting, ‘Fed! Fed! Fed! Fed! Fed! Fed!’ Ms. Sanborn was Ray Epps a fed?” Cruz asked.
“Sir I cannot answer that question,” Sanborn reiterated a third time.
“My question to you — and this is — this is not an ordinary law enforcement question, this is a question about public accountability — did federal agents or those in service of federal agent actively encourage violent and criminal conduct on January 6th?” Cruz asked again.
All they can do is LIE or Plead the Fifth !!!!
FBI Cover-up !!!!!
Why even ask we know it’s a resounding YES and Pelosi was in charge but did nothing to protect the Capital Building, the employees and the innocent ones still sitting in jail and never tried. It was just a plan to try and point the finger at Trump when it was her job, he said go peacefully if you were to attend she used it as an opportunity to incite violence like when she looked away at all the city riots and did not see them they were “just mostly peaceful marches”. She and the CREW DID NOT SEE THE BURNING HOUSES AND BUSINESSES , POLICE CARS AND MURDERS” she missed on that too. Always has her rose colored glasses on. And her masks to match every outfit it’s all about what is important to her.
“I can’t answer that” means yes, they were there, otherwise the answer would ne “no”
