Ted Cruz sends fundraising email suggesting the FBI was behind the Jan. 6 insurrection

 Three weeks after groveling to Tucker Carlson to beg forgiveness for calling the Jan. 6 insurrection what it was — a "violent terrorist incident" — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has sent out a fundraising email suggesting the FBI orchestrated the attack.

Far-right conspiracy mongers including Fox News host Carlson have repeatedly pushed the bullshit notion that Deep State actors, including FBI agents, ginned up the Jan. 6 mob assault to discredit then-President Donald Trump.

That crackpot theory, of course, has been widely debunked. But that didn't stop Cruz, R-Texas, from seizing on it in a bid to separate far-right conspiracy kooks from their hard-earned lunch money.

"What are they trying to hide now about the events of January 6, 2021?" Cruz asked in the Jan. 22 fundraising message. "I’m working hard to expose the full truth and shine a light on whether there was any FBI involvement on that day… and the liberal media can't stand it!"

Cruz is a skilled enough rhetorician to give himself wiggle room by framing his insinuations as questions rather than statements. Even so, the intent is crystal clear. ..............

When Cruz made the remarks about "violent insurrection" I had a feeling he may be laying a rhetorical trap could he prove the FBI an active, if not driving participant in any criminal actions taken on 1/6.

Now it appears he is stepping up and using that possibility (unproven, but likely, given past FBI ops) to raise funds and turn the heat up.

In the event that the agents, employees, or informants of the FBI were among or the leading instigators or participants in that "violent insurrection", Cruz has them trapped by their actions which were never intended to be disclosed to the Public at large, and strips the whole "get Trump" case out from under Pelosi's witch hunt.
