Legal Filing Sets Internet Ablaze With Reference to FBI/ATF 'Assets' 'Embedded' on Jan. 6

There has been a question hanging out there concerning the Capitol riot now for some time.
Just exactly how many FBI/other federal agents/confidential informants were there and embedded with the crowd on Jan. 6 during the riot?

“I cannot answer that,” Sanborn responded.
