WATCH: Ted Cruz Grills Feds, ‘Did FBI Commit Crimes of Violence on January 6th?’

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) didn’t get many answers from FBI Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Cruz wanted to know whether FBI agents or confidential informants participated in the events of January 6. 

Seems like an easy question. Turns out, it wasn’t. Sanborn said she couldn’t “go into the specifics of sources and methods.”

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.
