Fmr. VP Mike Pence on Alleged FBI Involvement in J6: ‘I’ve Heard the Repeated Assurances from the FBI that They Were Not Involved’

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "I have seen the director of the FBI repeatedly assure the American people that the FBI were not the instigators of the riot that occurred on January 6. And, frankly, I'm very grateful for the efforts of the FBI to bring nearly 1,000 people to justice who ransacked our Capitol and did violence against police officers that day. But you're right. We have been assured again and again that it was not the case. And I just must tell you, having been there that day, I mean, to see people literally breaking windows, ransacking the Capitol, it just infuriated me. I remember thinking, 'Not this, not here, not at the United States Capitol.' And I believe everyone that conducted that riot at the Capitol needs to be held to the fullest extent of the law. I'm pleased that many have. But I have never been given any information. I have heard the many repeated assurances from the FBI that they were not involved, and I take them at their word."
