Is the left's Reichstag fire stunt working?

The narrative that is falling apart is the claim that the FBI participated in Jan 6th.
The DoJ and FBI refuse to answer if they are doing something because they can not reveal ongoing investigations. The only way to not reveal ongoing investigations is to refuse to answer any such questions. If they denied being involved in some things and refused to answer others it would quickly become clear that when they refused to deny it, then it was happening. The only way to avoid this is to deny everything even the most outlandish questions. Ted Cruz knows this but he also knows that people like T.A Garnder are too stupid to know it and will fall for his ruse.

As to the Ray Epps thing. The reason the Jan 6th committee dismissed that theory is that they questioned Epps under penalty of criminal prosecution if he lied and he denied working for or with the FBI or any federal agency at any time. The fact that you don't know that points to why Ted Cruz thinks you are stupid.

As to the first, Ted Cruz pretty much demolished the FBI's representative;

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4995564/senator-cruz-questions-fbi-official-ray-epps-role-january-6

The two key questions he asked and to which both times she answered "I can't answer that," are:

"Did any FBI agents or confidential informants (CI) commit crimes or violence on January sixth?" (In reference to the Capitol riot)

And,

"Did any FBI agents or CI incite others to commit crimes or violence on January sixth?"

That the spokesperson for the FBI could not answer those two questions with a "No," or other answer that said the FBI had no role in the above, is beyond the pale. It argues very clearly that the FBI knows and did stuff during the Jan 6th riot--just as they have now been proven to have done during the Michigan governor kidnapping plot--that was criminal in nature.

Ray Epps is the same thing. The FBI won't discuss him. The Jan 6th's committee's response to questions about him are a bullshit cover up. They offer zero--ZERO--proof they ever talked or questioned Epps. There is no transcript at this point. No indication of the date and time any questioning took place. No subpoena that was issued. Hell, the FBI says they don't even know where he is. How'd the committee find him? Nada, zilch, zip-point-shit, yet the chair of the committee puts out the briefest of statements claiming they did question him. I'm not buying that for a New York second.
If the Jan 6 committee wants credibility, they better be damn 110% transparent in what they're doing. But they're not.

There's plenty of evidence of Epps committing multiple crimes and inciting others to do so on Jan 6. Yet the committee and FBI aren't interested in prosecuting this guy? They've locked up others with far less evidence than they have on Epps.
 
Look at you being all stupid just like Ted Cruz was hoping.

The questions could have been:
"Did any member of Trump's cabinet commit crimes or violence on Jan 6th ?" and the answer would have been the same.
Any question that in any way touches on an investigation or possible criminal indictment would always be answered "I can't answer that" because that is the stance required to be taken until an indictment is announced.

What evidence do you have of Epps committing a crime on Jan 6th? If he committed a crime by telling people to peacefully enter the Capitol then you have just made everyone that spoke at Trump's rally including Trump himself guilty of a crime. The FBI will not reveal if they know where anyone is. Epps is pretty easy to find. The information available on him makes it pretty easy.

Name one person they locked up where they have less evidence than you have against Epps. I will bet you $100,000 that anyone you name that is actually locked up, I can find pictures of them either attacking police or media or of them being in the US Capitol on January 6th. So, let's see your picture of Epps in the Capitol or attacking anyone.

This is an attempt at a Tu Quoque fallacy. Instead of refuting anything said, it tries to make alternate, and irrelevant, examples that deflect from the actual questions asked.

This is not equivalent to what was asked. The senior FBI official was asked if an their agency, part of the government committed any crimes or incited others to commit crimes. Any reasonable law enforcement agency would have answered "no." Why? Because it's illegal for them to commit crimes or incite others to commit crimes. That the official couldn't answer that, says there's a serious problem within the FBI.

What evidence of Epps is there? Lots of video to start with. Plenty more than was used to charge others with crimes during that riot.

You owe me $100,000. Here's one where the guy was arrested for taking a single selfie of himself within the capitol building:

Here's a mother and daughter that were arrested and convicted on a single photo they took outside the capitol

Here's four more arrested and convicted on single photos of them within or at the Capitol on Jan 6

https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/c... when she was photographed inside the Capitol.

So, there are numerous people that have been arrested, charged, and convicted on as little as a single photo, often self taken, of being present at the Capitol during the riot even though there is no evidence they did anything beyond simply being there.
