Government Corruption

Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol

2021-10-26

[RevolverNews] If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.

Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.

Rep. Massie: As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail, he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you seen that video, or those frames from that video?

AG Garland: So as I said at the outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular scenes or particular individuals.

Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?

AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.

[Looks down and away]

I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.

#9 That is perhaps the gheyist trophy pic I have seen in a long, long time.

Catch that bear up a tree, or rummaging through the trash? Guess should be given props for even seeing one so small?

#7 The noise people are hearing while passing the Hoover Building is the industrial paper shredders under load.

#4 I think Mike at Cold Fury came up with one of the best "the morals of a stoat."

#3 When I was in college back in the late 70s we were on foot headed out for beer when we spotted an obese syster with piercings and tats decades before those became common, in a circus tent sized muumuu with a little slithery mammal on a leash. One of my fellows said "Nice weasel, lady!" and she bitterly spat back "It's a ferret, asshole." I still get a laugh thinking about it.

#2 Merrick Garland the Weasel

Speaking as a ferret, that's mighty unfair to weasels

#1 When Garland said the Justice Department does not comment on pending investigations the response from Massie should have been “I am requesting you leak the information to the media as the department did on previous investigations”.
