A couple of big stories today, But I'm going to break out the J6 material for simplicity. The biggest has to be that pressed hard, the FBI spokeswoman consistently failed to deny that FBI agents or paid informants/agitators were involved in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots. PM, FBI refuses to answer Ted Cruz's question about their involvement in Jan 6 riot
From a comment at Althouse by Wa St Blogger
You can surmise a lot by what people do and do not say when truth is on the line.
For example, when ask if there were FBI agents at the Jan 6 kerfluffle and if Epps was working for the FBI, the Jill Sandborn, who had to take an oath could only respond I cannot answer that question.
If there was FBI involvement, there are several possibilities for her answer:
1. She is entirely without knowledge of what the FBI is doing
2. She is knowledgeable but was ordered not to answer
3. She is knowledgeable but also knows the impacts of what the truth might be and is using a dodge.
Now if there WERE truly no FBI involvement there are several possibilities for her answer.
1. She is entirely without knowledge of what the FBI is doing
2. They want to keep the divisions in the country going by maintaining doubt.
If the FBI wanted to close the book on this and assure everyone that this was not an inside job, the easiest answer would be to say No to both above questions.
She did not do that.
So we have:
1. She is ignorant -or-
2. The FBI wants to hide something
The question is, what do they want to hide?
1. Their involvement -or-
2. Their desire to stir divisiveness in the country.
Did I miss anything?
In September, the New York Times confirmed that FBI informants infiltrated the Proud Boys, an alleged militia group, and participated in the first breach of the Capitol perimeter right before 1 p.m. The man seen with the Proud Boys before the first intrusion was Ray Epps..
But, it's OK, Never-Trumper Adam Kinzinger assures us Ray Epps is not at Fed and committed no crimes on Jan. 6. Nick Arama at Red State, Adam Kinzinger Blows up the Jan. 6 Game Against the GOP With His Ray Epps Defense. Catherine Herridge@CBS_Herridge
“Regardless, he was put on the FBI wanted list, then removed,” Kinzinger continued. “Because of all of that, the conspiracy that he was an FBI agent has been gospel on the blogs and shows. -side note- this is why we have to address conspiracies not ignore them. He didn’t enter the Capitol on Jan 6, and was removed from the most wanted list because apparently he broke no laws. I’m pretty sure the FBI wouldn’t be dumb enough to put their own agent on a wanted list.”
“Ray Epps has cooperated with the Jan 6 committee and we thank him on the broader issue. Let’s say Ray was an agent (HE IS NOT), the premise is that one agent can gin up a crowd to insurrection. That isn’t saying much about the intelligence of your voters is it Ted? The rioters had formal education, owned businesses etc. they knew. An FBI informant is someone that is paid by or turned by law enforcement as they build broader cases. Informants are usually criminals that turn to save their own butt. An informant is not an agent.”
“But Ted wants you to think it is. RAY is NO informant either. The narrative on Jan 6 has been that it’s first antifa, or patriots who love their country, maybe crisis actors, def false flag operatives, or now FBI agents. Take your pick. Truth is they were rioters incited by lies. And RAY is no fed. Just another misled man.”
Indeed, Kinzinger likes to skip over the fact that Trump urged people to act “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Yet he should be impeached, but Ray is just cool after inciting on video? So, by this “Ray Epps” argument, didn’t Kinzinger just blow up the whole argument that he and the Jan. 6 Committee have been trying to push against Republicans who didn’t do anything close to that? Because it sure looks like that to me. Of course, it was a bad argument to begin with, but now he just torpedoed it completely.

Emily Brooks at WaEx, Jan. 6 committee at crossroads as Republican members refuse to aid inquiry.
“This is the most viciously partisan committee in history, and it has been since before day one. No member has ever been blocked from serving on a Select Committee, and now, for the first time in history, they’re threatening to subpoena a sitting member of Congress. No committee has ever violated House rules so flagrantly,” said Indiana Rep. Jim Banks, who was originally selected by McCarthy to be the ranking member on the committee but was also vetoed by Pelosi.

Megan Fox at PJ Media, J6 Detainee Says Pretrial Solitary Confinement Is 'Inhumane,' 'UnAmerican'
Jacob Lang has been sitting in the D.C. jail without a trial date for almost a year. Arrested and charged in the riots at the Capitol on January 6th, 2020 Lang and 40 others have been awaiting justice while living in conditions that are deplorable. Now, a new lawsuit has been filed that seems to corroborate Lang’s story of police brutality. Whether or not Lang gets to put up his defense remains to be seen, as the state seems reluctant to bring him before a jury of his peers.
Lang had been contacting PJ Media regularly over the last few months but was recently silenced by the jail after he gave an interview to Newsmax TV that was cut off mid-interview by the jailers. Since then he has been unable to make phone calls. This is the last full interview that I had with Lang before his communications were cut off.
