Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday accused the FBI of secret involvement in the January 6 attack. Higgins during the hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray cited their exchange from a previous hearing. “I asked you, ‘Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6, prior to the doors being open?’ You responded. I quote again, ‘I have to be very careful of what I say,’” Higgins recalled, arguing that “we can’t get a straight answer” despite a “tremendous amount of evidence.”
“I asked you, ‘Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6, prior to the doors being open?’ You responded. I quote again, ‘I have to be very careful of what I say,’”
I’m going to guess Higgins has never heard of the term “ongoing federal investigations”. If, for example, the feds are currently investigating the Proud Boys, Wray answering that question would put those investigations at risk and possibly risk exposing any undercover investigators that are on the case. Even his statement of “I have to be very careful of what I say” is all but an admission that at the very least, some kind of investigation is going on.
