Senator Cruz made Mr. Olsen and his staff look like amateurish fucking idiots.

Understand, I have worked in the DC area since 1983, supporting federal agencies. Among this is was preparing materials for senior executives giving Congressional testimony.

Not having basic facts like those Senator Cruz asked about is a BIG no. The folks appearing before Congress always have a one to two page summary of facts to refer to.

Not having facts readily available means one of two things:

(1) the person giving testimony has decided to blow off the House or Senate appearance.  This does nothing to help your cause because Senators and Representatives (and their staff) don't like having their time wasted.

(2) the person giving testimony is an idiot, and is supported by idiots. This does nothing to help your cause because Senators and Representatives (and their staff) don't like having their time wasted by idiots.

IMO, It's option #1.  He blew it off, as it's done every time the Dems are in control.  Olsen has the protection of the Left, and he was there to purposefully not answer Republican questions and keep up the narrative.

Too many here mistake apathy for incompetence.  They're not incompetent in PR or public subversion of authority.  They may be incompetent in running an organization, but not in the public arena.  This is on purpose.

This may sound cynical, but from my viewpoint, this seems to be "standard operating procedure" for dems for the last few years, at a minimum.

the real issue being that federal law enforcement agencies created what little violence materialized in order to justify cracking down further on free Americans?  I agree, Ted was too delicate.

Probably knows just as well as you. I am sure you think it is high level rocket surgery to differentiate between agents and informants but I think he can handle it. As he did clearly and eloquently in his questioning.

ETA @realwar please fix your title.

It's cute.  He gets his little sound bite for people to cheer and avoids the real issue at the same time.

Ted was spouting the same mantra less than a week ago.  There's a reason he was delicate.

So does this mean people are going to be charged with crimes, or are we just grandstanding like we did with the social media companies?

At this point Cruz would need to actually nail them on it to redeem himself on the January 6th issue.

If they're answering, "I can't answer that question," I'd at least press on why they can't answer it, and if they know the answer:
  • If they can't answer, but they know the answer, that proves they're hiding something.
  • If they can't answer, and they can't answer whether they know the answer, that proves they're hiding something.  They can then be grilled on whether that information is classified, or if they've been ordered not to answer that question, or if it is their own decision not to answer that question, etc.
  • If they can't answer, and they say they don't know the answer, it becomes perjury if they're found to have known later.

I'm not Ted Cruz though, and at this point I'm not convinced that he's really trying to get the real answers anyway.

Darren Beattie talking to Bannon on Warroom this afternoon.    A Ray Epps hot potato w/ no one claiming him,  they know who he is but he's not theirs.   NBC/MSNBC immediately assume overwatch and deflection w conspiracy theories on the right.    Bannon says the Women perjured herself.

Here is another odd possibility. What if the enforcement of the laws against impersonating law enforcement officers are being messed with. 1960's radicals used to play all sorts of games claiming to be under cover cops or feds.

At this point if I were Mr. Olsen id say “yes, what are you going to do about it other than talk like a fag.”

That would probably shut Cruz down.

Can you elaborate on how that would apply here?

The answer is zero, and any decent lawyer should have phrased the question correctly.

Thread title is NOT the question that was asked, and Cruz did phrase it correctly.  He asked "how many FBI agents or Confidential Informants..."  

The FBI chick repeatedly answering "I can't answer that" indicates to me she does know the answers, but won't answer because reasons.  I find that unacceptable.

The DOJ blivit came across as tits useless, with no grasp on things for which his department is responsible.  The correct way to handle questions like that is "Senator, I don't want to give the committee incorrect information, so I will take an action item to find out and provide you an accurate answer, in writing, by close of business tomorrow."

You know I like Ted Cruz, but if all he does is ask questions, he is no better than that barking dog, Trey Goudy.

There is no point in asking these questions unless you know the answers and use them.

Revolver News did a thorough investigation on this last fall. Why does it take that long to ask questions that won't be answered from the corruption officials behind them? After Revolver News ran this story they did a number of others.

I wonder how many feds or affiliates are following this thread?

hopefully all of them so they can read what normal Americans outside the media bubble actually think about them and what they're doing to destroy our Republic.  They are enemies of our Republic.

They knew he had nothing.  He needs to get the information and have them charged with lying to congress.  I appreciate his efforts but he needs to reevaluate his effectiveness.
