Nothing I hadn't seen before, but I was aghast at her responses, and, honestly, surprised Ted Cruz didn't ask her WHY she couldn't answer that. There is no reason for them to protect any kind of protocol that allows FBI agents to be bad actors and agitators against US citizens. Do your job and stop entrapping people. There was a day when ole' Mikey would have been against a thing like that.

Ted Cruz didn't ask the follow up question you wanted because such a follow up question reveals a sincere search for knowledge.  Cruz was looking to insinuate by his questions.  
You're right that the undercover FBI agent shouldn't act with total impunity, but I wouldn't call whispering in someone's ear, telling them that now's the time to storm the barricade, is entrapment. This is basic stuff we teach kids, you are responsible for your actions, regardless of peer pressure.
I actually want the FBI to be doing this kind of stuff. Just like how the RIAA finally shut down LimeWire by spoofing all the popular files with pure noise. Make it so everyone believes that every meeting has at least one narc in attendance.
