1) FBI would not deny what it should be able to deny.
@SenTedCruz: "How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of January 6?"
FBI: "Sir, I’m sure you can appreciate that I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods…"

@SenTedCruz 2) The first FBI response is understandable. Then:
Cruz: "Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of January 6, yes or no?"
FBI Exec Asst Dir Sanborn: "Sir, I can’t answer that."
More follows.

@SenTedCruz 3) Cruz: "Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on January 6?"
FBI: "I can’t answer that."
Cruz: "Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6?"
FBI: "Sir, I cant answer that."

@SenTedCruz 5) The FBI had plenty of time to prepare for today's hearing. It is well aware of public suspicion of FBI leadership.
Perhaps a hack would have said "no" to Senator Cruz's questions.
Jill Sanborn has a reputation as a good professional. She told the truth by not denying it.
