Ray Epps Charged with a Misdemeanor over Capitol Riot

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ray Epps, an Arizona man who became the center of a conspiracy theory about Jan. 6, 2021, has been charged with a misdemeanor offense in connection with the U.S. Capitol riot, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

Epps, a former Marine who claimed in a lawsuit filed this year that Fox News Channel made him a scapegoat for the Capitol riot, is charged with a count of disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds, court records show.

Messages seeking comment from an attorney representing Epps in his lawsuit against Fox were not immediately returned Tuesday. There was no attorney listed in the court docket in the criminal case filed in Washington’s federal court.

Epps was falsely accused by Fox of being a government agent who was whipping up trouble that would be blamed on Trump supporters, his lawsuit claims.

Although the lawsuit mentions Fox’s Laura Ingraham and Will Cain, former Fox host Tucker Carlson is cited as the leader in promoting the theory. Epps was featured in more than two dozen segments on Carlson’s prime-time show, the lawsuit said. Messages seeking comment were sent Tuesday to Fox News and a lawyer for Carlson.

Epps’ lawsuit against Fox says the Justice Department told him in May that he faces criminal charges for his actions on Jan. 6 and blames that on “the relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure.”

Thats too harsh.

Give him a bare bottom spanking.

Just a misdemeanour for apparently being one of the bigger factors in getting masses of people into or towards the building? Compared to 22 years for not being there ? Makes sense.

Epps is a Fed.

This will get "taken care of" in some way.

Or they will just execute him.

Too bad we don't get to vote on it.

I know how I would vote.

Seems that Breitbart is afraid to make that accusation:

Tim Pool brings up the sting scene in "The Sound of Freedom" where they tell the police to make it look like one of the guys they were working with was the Fed by not arresting him, while they arrested everybody else, so as confuse the traffickers and not blow their cover.

So one theory could be that this guy was just a Trump supporter, they purposely didn't arrest him to make it look like he was the Fed to focus our attention on him, so as not to focus our attention on the feds who were actually there helping orchestrate that day.

I still lean toward he's a fed tho, and Tim Pool certainly does not deny the possibility. My main evidence would be when he whispered in the ears of the antifa looking dudes just before they took down the first barricade.

Question is how much credit do we give to these intel agencies..

 

[sparebulb]

I suspect everyone and I suspect no one.

Of course he is. He is the only person that was there on Jan 6th that Democrat politicians line up to defend.

I love the propaganda the Associated Press write here. The first sentence sets the stage that speculation about Epps is a conspiracy theory. Of course all of the Jan 6th defendants are dangerous criminals in a conspiracy to overthrow the government.

Later they state: Epps was falsely accused by Fox of being a government agent as if the write can somehow determine the truth of Epps being a government agent. The government is going to openly admit that Epps is working for them.

The ironic thing is that the AP write is probably a government agent themselves and knows damn well that Epps is a Confidential Informant or whatever.

I noticed that, too. At first I thought the article might have been a "reprint" from another source, but then the sentence concludes "his lawsuit claims". So I would just call it another example of piss-poor editing at Breitbart.

EDIT: Well, the article is a "reprint" from AP, after all.

I missed that too. Interesting that Breitbart is now reprinting AP "news".

They do from time to time.

Doesn't excuse AP's garbage.

Somebody would have to act fast. You know he'll get four and a half months off for good behavior.
