Ray Epps was leading the protestors. So why not go after him

Don't ask rhetorical questions at this point.

Ray Epps was FIB. He was an intelligence asset. Just tell people straight out. People that can't follow the Socratic method AT THIS POINT, are too dumb to be able to use it.

I know the desire to make people THINK, but some people can't think. Just give them the answer.

If you just give them the (obvious) answer, MAYBE they can start to think. Don't make a hurdle for them to jump over. Everybody that is smart enough to know what Ray Epps is, knows what he is at this point, and those that don't, they can't get through the propaganda, they have to be spoon fed. They are intellectual children.

Channeling a question by another Patnetter- I wonder if we have our own Ray Epps on this board?

Any group is infiltrated, make that assumption.

Assume ANY group you are in that is at all political is infiltrated, and go forward with that assumption. If you do that, it doesn't matter if you're infiltrated. I operate under the assumption there are SEVERAL assholes here that are from "intelligence" - just another inversion name, it's traitors that is the real name. I can show you ENDLESS examples of how the "intelligence" agencies have betrayed this nation, just ask but I've showed it so many times, I will only show it again if somebody needs it.

The FIB are traitors, the CIA are traitors, the NSA are traitors. All of these mother fuckers betray this nation. They are all competing criminal organizations, that's it. Nothing more complicated than that. The vast majority of them do not know what they are doing. If you can see this through the lens of complete cynicism, it all makes sense, because these fuckers at the top are completely cynical - worse than me. Useful idiots are everywhere.

I haven't watched 60 Minutes in years, and don't intend on wasting my time when they air their puff piece on Ray Epps. No doubt, they're going to paint him as the innocent victim, instead of being the Fed agent provocateur that he was on that fateful day.

Gateway Pundit:
Is Ray Epps a Pedophile and Is This How the Feds Are Able to Control Him?



Editor’s Note: All aspects of this story are being reported based on corroboration done by other journalists. For example, Dom Lucre claims to have seen Tiffany Epps’ personal credentials, including adoption paperwork. We have no reason to doubt anything told in the Twitter Spaces interview below, but we have not independently verified it.

Tiffany Epps, the adopted daughter of Ray Epps, claims he began sexually molesting her when she was 14-years-old. She claims he was abusive in other ways as well. The details she paints of the January 6 provocateur’s life include strange incidents, such as the time when “Sgt James Ray Epps” was arrested in Mexico.
https://thelibertydaily.com/adopted-daughter-of-ray-epps-claims-he-molested-her-as-a-teen/

Hmmm, a way to control Ray Epps and make him incite the crowd on Jan 6th.

https://thelibertydaily.com/adopted-daughter-of-ray-epps-claims-he-molested-her-as-a-teen/

Yeah, this is why I love Rumble. I bought 900 shares of Rumble (ticker: RUM) for $9 share price.

James "Ray" Epps is his real name. Yeah, the Feds (i.e., FBI, CIA, inspector general, etc.) "recruit" (i.e., entice, entrap, etc.) informants and assets by having "the goods on them".

https://rumble.com/v2k5yxs-ray-epps-daughter-suggests-he-might-have-been-compromised.html

That is why J Edgar Hoover had his dirt files on people in power. He used it as "leverage".

That makes the Feds have "leverage" and therefore can play psych ops and manipulate or gaslight their human assets.

People who are questioned by the Feds should politely tell them to go fuck off. Don't even ask if you are the "subject of an investigation".

Just tell them you are calling the local sheriff's office and you feel physically threatened because of their presence.

Also typically they will have a female and male agents at any "interview" request so as to give illusion they are gender balanced.

Very true. However, the Mafia had dirt on J Edgar, as in photos of Edgar wearing dresses, etc. That's a major reason why the big G-Man, for years, refused to acknowledge that there was such a thing as an organized crime syndicate. Another reason is that Edgar loved to play the horses, and did so at mob ran race tracks. They always made sure that the G-Man left a winner.

Epps and his relationship with Rhodes, another FBI Informant who started the "Oath Keepers"

So what exactly does the curious case of Stewart Rhodes have to do with Ray Epps?

Students of FBI history should quickly absorb the lesson that infiltrating Feds are like roaches: whenever you spot one, it is guaranteed there are dozens of others nearby. Feds simply never, ever, operate alone. This is how you end up with at least 12 FBI informants in a tiny “right-wing” Michigan militia plot from October 2020 (that’s just informants, not even agents), 15 informants in the “right-wing” 2016 Malheur plot, dozens in the 2014 Bundy Ranch affair — including six FBI undercover agents posing as fake documentarians shooting a fake documentary — and the list goes on.

You’ll be shocked, then, to learn that the Oath Keepers sport an eye-poppingly long history of FBI infiltration.

And lo and below, Ray Epps and Oath Keepers kingpin Stewart Rhodes are old pals in the organization. In fact, Stewart Rhodes was Ray Epps’s old boss. Back in 2011-2012, Epps was the Arizona state chapter leader of the Oath Keepers — the biggest Oath Keepers chapter in the country — while Rhodes was and remains the national leader. (See, e.g., archived proof of Epps as Arizona Oath Keeper President here, here and here.) Reason Magazine’s Radley Balko even interviewed Ray Epps while Epps was running the Arizona Oath Keepers a decade ago:

This week I also spoke with Ray Epps, a retired Marine sergeant from Mesa, Arizona and president of the Arizona chapter of Oath Keepers, the controversial organization of police and military personnel who have vowed not to enforce laws they believe are unconstitutional. After hearing about Guerena’s death, Epps drove to Tucson to investigate.

Oddly, Stewart Rhodes’s website OathKeepers.org deleted several historical blog posts featuring events run by Ray Epps, where Epps was listed as both President and Press Contact.

The Wayback Machine’s automatic archiving process suggests Stewart Rhodes’s OathKeepers.org posts concerning Ray Epps were effectively dormant from 2011 until 2021. Then, at approximately 3 p.m. on January 27, 2021, there is an update showing the page had been 404’d.

Why Isn’t Ray Epps In Prison?

Brian Wilson analyzes the CBS 60 Minutes interview with Ray Epps and asks why he hasn’t been arrested or prosecuted for his actions as other January 6th protestors have who were far less active in instigating a riot.

Because the FBI planted him there as an instigator, duh.

More and more anarcho-tyranny brought to you by the union of the bureaucratic state and Democrat Party.

Wow. And Epps was the #2 of the SW Branch of the Oathkeepers.

You know they're a glowie or useful idiot whenever somebody says FakeFed/FedRiot Front is "real and genuine".

"resulting in a hundred thousand supporters storming Congress"

Not so. The door were deliberately unlocked from the inside, and FBI agitators like Ray Epps cajoled and pushed protestors in. To this day, We The People are not allowed to see most of the footage, because the number of FBI plants was so large, and to broadcast their faces makes them less valuable for similar false-flag ops in the future.

Some, like Buffalo man, were literally given an escorted tour by Capitol Police the entire time, and then imprisoned. Others walked nicely between the velvet ropes. They took selfies and waved to others' cameras.

Everyone who walked in was competely unarmed.

At the kangaroo court "hearings", the video presented was doctored, adding screams and breaking glass sounds, because the reality was too peaceful.

One Capitol Policeman died of a vaxx-induced stroke (they were given the toxxine first, lucky them). The media lied that he was hit on the head, which is completely false. The only real violence was the outright murder of unarmed protestor Ashley Babbitt by a Capitol Policeman.

This was no "storming" at all. That's just that official lie, one we should never repeat.

Link?

Just kidding. I understand satire.

Yeah I saw a MSNBC link saying Ray Epps likely will be charged.

I wonder if this is another Machiavelli act by the Democrat DOJ. Its to give Epps cover as far as trying to hide that he was an agent provocateur.

The DOJ will put on an incompetent prosecution like they did for Andrew Gillum and John Edwards, and they'll try Epps in a courtroom with a Democrat judge and a Woke jury.

I don't think DOJ is doing this because it wants to show it is fair, or because of political pressure from Congressional Republicans.

It seems like a purely cynical effort by DOJ.

Americans exercising freedom of the press have been reporting Ray Epps is a plant since January 5, 2021.

https://sashastone.substack.com/p/friday-chat-on-big-topics/comments

Epps remained on Capitol grounds at least 40 minutes longer than DOJ claimed.
In a 14-page statement of offense signed by Epps on September 10, assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gordon detailed Epps’ behavior on the evening of January 5 and part of the day on January 6. Gordon acknowledged Epps’ presence at a rally at Black Lives Matter Plaza the night before the Capitol protest where Epps encouraged people to go “in to the Capitol” the following day.

Epps’ involvement in the first breach of an exterior barrier—including his whispering in the ear of Ryan Samsel, one of the first individuals to knock down metal racks at Peace Circle on January 6—was covered as well.

DOJ gave short shrift to Epps’ presence at the second breach point moment later; Epps touched then appeared to help protesters hold down part of a fence, which created an opening for people to get closer to the building right as the joint session of Congress convened at 1 pm. (Recall how a federal judge recently designated the unauthorized touching of a temporary fence an act of terrorism.)

She also proves contradictions in Epps account of events and has video to back it up:

Epps: “I also orchestrated it.”

So, why did Gordon claim Epps left at least a half hour before he actually did? It appears the DOJ attempted to substantiate Epps’ false testimony to the January 6 Select Committee last year.

Epps told committee members that “at 2:12 pm, I was on my way back to the hotel room.”

The 2:12 pm mark is crucial; according to his phone records, Epps sent this text to his nephew: “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.” When pressed by the January 6 Select Committee to explain what he meant by the text, Epps insisted it was just normal banter between family.

He twice more testified that he was off Capitol grounds when the text was sent at 2:12 pm. But he wasn’t on his way back to the hotel or exiting the premises. At 2:12, Epps is seen on video, refusing to leave even after police dispensed tear gas on the increasingly agitated crowd:

The rest is here.

Ray Epps almost got as much "good justice" as Hunter Biden.

Now look at Ray Epps did and compare it to others who did the same or similar. How did the others fare as far as criminal punishment ?

As coverups go this one is awfully transparent. As if they are not even trying. Almost rubbing it in.

https://notthebee.com/article/ray-epps-sentenced-to-1-year-probation-500-fine

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/double-trouble-wednesday-january

Politico ran a story yesterday headlined, “Ray Epps, pro-Trump rioter smeared by conspiracy theories, gets probation for role in Capitol riot.” James Ray Epps, Sr., the only January 6th protestor to actually encourage people to go into the Capitol, including saying “we’re here to storm the Capitol,” and who texted his nephew claiming to have “orchestrated” the Capitol riot, was harshly sentenced in DC court yesterday, as he deserved. Epps’s hard sentence was: a year probation, a $500 fine, and a 100 hours of community service, which he may perform, at his option, at other conservative rallies or at the FBI’s regional field office. Haha, I made up that last part. But sadly, not the rest.

The Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, James Boasberg, wrestled with the difficult decision, for at least as long as it took him to say “This is not an easy sentencing.” Then he tossed the felony charges and gave Epps misdemeanor probation, because, and I am not making this up, he felt Epps had suffered enough from deranged Trump supporters who kept throwing Epps’s own words and actions in his face.

In the Chief Judge’s view, just like an Old Testament prophet, or maybe more like peace-loving, non-violent martyr Mahatma Ghandi, James Ray Epps similarly suffered for “what (he) didn’t do.”

In other words, Ray has already been punished.

There have been so many J6 cases it’s impossible to keep up with them all. But I think this might be the lightest sentence given to any January 6th defendant, including people sentenced who weren’t even in DC on January 6. Julie Kelly, who closely watches the cases, said in the rare cases where defendants have received probation only, it is usually for 2-3 years and usually includes paternalistic conditions, such as staying off social media.

The Court also granted Epps’ motion to attend his sentencing hearing by phone. He didn’t even have to go down there. I probably don’t need to tell you that is highly irregular. (From what I can tell, for some reason, Epps thought he might be served with one or more subpoenas if he attended in person.)

Oh — in case you’re not entirely furious yet: the Chief Judge gave Epps a lighter sentence than the US Attorney requested, which was six months in jail. Lest you feel too much angst, that request was just a beard; this charade was never intended to end with Epps in a cell, not even for a quiet afternoon.

My speculation is this sideshow was meant to resolve Epps’ criminal liability, in case a new administration takes over in January with a different prosecutorial appetite. Now that he’s been sentenced for his “crimes,” Ray cannot be re-tried on the same grounds. In other words, it might have been trivially-easy for a new DOJ to send Epps to jail for 25 years for inciting the insurrection; a sentence that would have been completely consistent with all the previous ones.

But Ray does not benefit from double-jeopardy for anything other crimes. And the shadowy, so-far unnamed people who gave Ray his orders, those people aren’t protected by this little circus. Theoretically, and I recognize this is a long shot, but Ray’s bosses could also be prosecuted for run-of-the-mill J6 offenses on a conspiracy theory. Think of a trespassing charge for every person who entered the Capitol on January 6th, with sentences to run sequentially.

Ironically, President Trump — who was not granted permission to attend by phone — was attending a separate hearing in one of his cases in the same courthouse at the time of Epps’ sentencing.

Whew! I’m sure you are as glad as I am to see justice for Ray Epps.

https://slaynews.com/news/ray-epps-gets-slap-on-wrist-from-judge-for-jan-6-charges-no-jail-time/

https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/poison-spiders-at-the-center-of-the

You remember those videos of Ray on the DC street the day before the riot, importuning the crowd, a commanding presence with his military bearing and red hat, six inches taller than most of the other men around him, yelling, “Tomorrow we need to go into the Capitol, into the Capitol!” At which moment the crowd groaned “no-o-o-o. . . !” and then commenced chanting, “fed. . . fed. . . fed. . . !” They had his number. His use of the word need was especially beguiling, as in, who actually “needed” that to happen? ...

Okay, I’ll tell you the actual reason that Ray Epps got the VIP powder puff treatment: It was to give half of America a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. . . the old double-barreled middle finger. . . a thunderous fuck you, with the subtext: we can do anything we want to you and you can’t do anything about it. . . and we can rub your faces in it, too, ho ho. . . and then empty a bed pan over your head in case you’re not feeling sufficiently impotent and humiliated. And the purpose of all that is their hope to foment some act of genuine violent resistance against the blob to justify further lawless persecution of the blob’s enemies. They’re really hoping to set off a civil war to justify martial law in order to ensure a free and fair election.

The judge in the Ray Epps case is. . . wait for it. . . the fabulous judicial utility infielder, James Boasberg, now Chief Judge of the DC Federal District Court, a big cheese. Yes, the same rascal who sat on the FISA Court during the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” shenanigans, when they fed all manner of fake documents to that court to enable the FBI to conduct warrantless surveillance on Donald Trump’s campaign, and then afterwards on his presidency.

It was Judge Boasberg who let FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith off the hook with probation when he was charged with doctoring an email to conceal the fact that FBI target Carter Page had been an active CIA informer in Russia over the years, not just some schlub swanning around the fringe of the Trump Campaign. Getting a FISA warrant on Carter Page was tremendously advantageous to the FBI, because it enabled them to use the “three-hop rule,” meaning they could also surveil anyone else in the Trump retinue who Mr. Page had communicated with by phone or email.

The disposition of Ray Epps’s case also means there will be no further official inquiries into his behavior that fateful day 1/6/21. The principle of double jeopardy means he can’t be tried for the same thing twice. There will be no further inquiries into what he did that day and on J-6 itself when he appeared at the barricades on the Capitol grounds, apparently goading protesters to bust through them. It’s a dead letter. Chalk up a “W” for the blob.

But now, chalk up an “L” for the blob: Fani Wills, the Fulton County (GA) District Attorney, has been caught funneling more than half a million dollars to her love bunny, attorney Nathan Wade, after appointing him “special counsel” in the gigantic RICO case against Donald Trump and eighteen other defendants. Poor optics, as they say, and maybe a good deal more than that — such as prosecutorial misconduct. The fact that the lovestruck pair took Caribbean cruises together with that money may only be a minor part of the story. More will come out when Fani Willis answers the summons she has been served to give a deposition at the request of Joycelyn Wade’s lawyers in the Wades’ ongoing divorce proceeding.

More to the point, both Fani Willis and Nathan Wade (in her service) spent time consulting with lawyers at the White House before they filed charges against Mr. Trump. Mr. Wade was there on May 23 and November 19, 2022 talking to Joe Biden’s White House counsel for sixteen hours. Ms. Willis is shown by White House visitor logs to have been present for five hours a few months later, on February 18, 2023, a week after recommending charges to a Fulton County grand jury. The log states that she spent those five hours with veep Kamala Harris.

I doubt that is who she came to visit. My guess is that Ms. Willis spent those hours being coached by Deputy US Attorney General Lisa Monaco, possibly joined by Mary McCord, a former head of the DOJ’s National Security division during the “Crossfire Hurricane” years, then “outside counsel” to the first House impeachment committee, then counsel to the House J-6 committee. It was Ms. McCord, in Trump Impeachment # 1, who arranged for then DOJ Inspector General Michael Atkinson to change the whistleblower rules, allowing for hearsay evidence, which gave a green light to NSA mole Eric Ciaramella to report on the infamous Ukraine phone call that he had not personally witnessed (but was fed a story on by Col. Alexander Vindman.) Nice work there. In other words, these two gals, Lisa Monaco and Mary McCord, are the poison spiders in the DOJ web of veteran seditionists.

This week there is also chatter as to whether Special Counsel Jack Smith might ever actually bring an official federal “insurrection” charge against Mr. Trump to facilitate his “branding” so as to get him kicked off the ballot around the country. I doubt that’ll work out for Mr. Smith, too. If such a matter ever went to trial Mr. Trump would enjoy the right to “discovery” of all sorts of evidence that the DOJ and the FBI would never allow to see the light of day. So, Jack’s stuck with his lame cases now on the docket which, believe me, will be going nowhere.
