The man who was seen on multiple video tapes urging the January 6th crowd to storm the Capitol building, the previously well-known agent provocateur Ray Epps, has been charged by the DOJ with one misdemeanor count of “Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct.”
Worse still, the announcement from Main Justice comes via the format of an “information” {SEE HERE} which implies a plea deal was already reached as the charge was made public. Now the DOJ can say they ‘arrested‘ the guy, and simultaneously flip the narrative as evidence he wasn’t a confidential human source.
This velvet glove arrangement bears striking similarity to the DOJ approach when Senate Intelligence Committee head of security, James Wolfe, leaked the Top-Secret Carter Page FISA application, and was only charged with one count of lying to the FBI about it. {Go Deep} But wait… it gets better. The pre-selected DC judge is none other than, James Boasberg. {Go Deep} You just can’t make this stuff up folks.
WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.
Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg. (read more)
He doesn’t even have to show up in court for the DOJ to have Judge Boasberg rubber stamp the issue.
They’re becoming so predictable that it’s hard to see how even their own supporters are still falling for this crap. Nobody can possibly be dumb enough to not see through this, right?
“Confirmed: It Appears Former FBI DC Supervisor D’Antuono Was Lying to House Investigators About the Number of FBI Operatives Embedded in Crowds on January 6”
“We may never know how many confidential human sources the government was running in the massive crowd on January 6th.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/confirmed-it-appears-former-fbi-dc-supervisor-dantuono/
D’Antuono was also in charge of setting up the Whitmer kidnapping FBI entrapment and the Maralago documents raid.
Real treason takes practice to do it well…
Sure we know. All of them.
Those that see and know don’t care, as long as they see others in misery. We are looking for rational decisions from crazy people. I could go so far as to say they have joined up with evil against the good that exists in this world. God knows. We just have to suffer it. My gut is telling me that things may be on the verge of coming completely apart. I hate it, but here we are.
Indeed, politicians and self-anointed elitists gleefully destroying the lives of millions through the abuse of Public Administration is an exponential crime representing “an ocean of tears, an atmosphere of sighs.”
These people know what they’re doing (Intent), that’s how callous they are – they think it’s funny.
THIS CAN’T BE LEFT UN-PUNISHED – that includes members of the media that have zealously towed the line of iniquity.
An aging, forgetful, acquaintance, a widow, who used to be a staunch Republican, now watches the Alien shows and believes them to be true because the government shows the wreckage. This is what much of the older citizenry has been reduced to, that and sports and Jeopardy. The younger, suburban working couples have been propagandized by the schools, media, so that they lean Left. Their hectic days leave much less time or desire to try to fix anything even locally unless it strongly affects them personally.
Sad either way!
I am not a widow. However, I am aging and forgetful. In case you missed it, there has been plausible reporting (by Tucker Carlson) about suspicious objects being seen by pilots. I don’t know what you mean by “alien shows” but I would hesitate to put all older people in the “older citizenry that has been reduced to alien shows, sports and Jeopardy” category. Many of us still know the score because we know our history. The younger ones do not and could not care less. Also, I might add that their days are only hectic because they spend most of the time on their phones in useless and meaningless posts.
I join you in this.
I agree. I’m 85 and quit watching sports when Capernick took a knee for our National Anthem!
We cut the cord years ago and we have been Trump supporters from the beginning. I have always said that we needed a good businessman as President!
It will strongly affect them eventually.
It Seems as if it may be some neurochemical pathology that when coupled over time with intense propaganda elicits these EPIC levels of insanity. It’s so profound one would think it to be instinctively repugnant. The same of course follows as applied to the academy – especially “higher” ed.
Don’t know much about that neurochemical stuff, but sure as Hades the demonic has now come out of the closet and is having a field day, since much of fallen mankind has so rejected God and become one.
You have to chalk it up to duplicity or to a strong will to believe. (Don’t underestimate the power or the ubiquity of the latter.)
They can make this stuff up and they do it over and over again, for years now.
How many years ago did Wolfe walk?
They know that we know they’re corrupt and don’t care.
They know they have the entire system rigged!
They know there is nothing we can do about it.
It’s completely infuriating.
Boasberg (Their go-to judge) gave Clinesmith probation and kept his law licence in DC. Can you imagine a federal law enforcement attorney convicted of trying to frame President Obama for a crime that never even happened getting PROBATION!
Not one chance in a million!
Recreating a scene from Kafka’s ‘The Trial:
In the gallery at President Trump’s arraignment were judges James Boasberg along with Amy Berman Jackson of RussiaGate fame. And with them were other January 6th federal inquisitors, no doubt supporting their fellow Trump hating judge Tonya Chutkan.
because your last line of defence is OUR PAPER LEGS.
Pushing ninety and I finally now know how Germany fell so hard back in the 30’s and 40’s.
Assuming Epps is telling the truth, and I don’t, he’s correct: the CIA and Antifa are not “law enforcement” agencies. No matter with whom Epps was associated, they made sure he had plausible deniability.
Epps could be any agitator from any group. “Scaffold Commander” has been credibly identified as leftist journo John Nichols from The Nation, not a fed.
https://jdrucker.substack.com/p/exclusive-is-leftwing-journalist
Feds are only one tentacle.
Supporting Antifa by not disrupting them, and aiding their activity – is a FBI act also
Remember Magabomber? after all the riots and beat downs of MAGA people, the FBI framed that guy to say BOTH SIDES ARE DOING IT AND WE need to play nice.
You have people who are literally feds, and others who, wittingly or unwittingly, aid the feds in constructing a narrative.
As far as I’m concerned, they’re all “feds”
The Feds have planned well and have their sub-groups and well paid but slightly disassociated pawns doing the dirty work for them.
Not working “for” but clearly he was/is known to the FBI, which explains why they removed him from the most-wanted list, sheltered him from charges up to this point and now dropped only the minimum possible charge onto him so if any future prosecutor tries to charge him he can claim double-jeopardy.
Jan 6, 2021 a coup occurred. House rules were changed beforehand to prevent objecting of electorial votes in an emergency.
Gov is now dictatorship.👀😳
Those who accused the innocent J 6ers of insurrection, were comitting a coup d’etat, themselves. They now occupy every lever of power in our “government”. They had to have a patsy for their crimes. So, they are torturing innocent Americans who are guilty of nothing. There are millions of Pulitzer Prize winning stories that aren’t being written, because the enemy owns the media, too. If we didn’t have the 2nd amendment, they would already have full to the brim concentration camps here.
The enemy doesn’t own the media. The media are in on this, it’s “their team,” so it’s cool.
CTH covered the coup thoroughly

i read retiger thing.
was the house rule change in that?
must have overlooked it
There was a recent story of someone supposedly charged, sentenced, imprisoned (all done secretly) and then “released” recently. I had the link open but inadvertently closed it. So I don’t have the person’s name or the source reporting the story.
I am searching for the story but if anyone has a link or a name, I would appreciate being able to capture the report for my files.
You should still have the link in your browsers history tab.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/jan-6-rioter-convicted-sentenced-secret-103233093
https://apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-secret-sentencing-3c4ffcc5ebeaff6fd6aa279d0ce888ad
I too remember the story (but have no link). However, I do remember the last name of the defendant: it was LAZAR.
Some people are more privileged than others. This has FED written all over it.
Epps was being paid by an activist group funded by either the DNC, Soros or one their non-profits! That’s why the January 6th comment said neither FBI nor law enforcement!
the j6 “committee” came to that dubious conclusion based on EPPS testimony and nothing more than that. It’s like asking a known thief: did you steal the money?…nope…okay, good enough for us.
it is absurd to consider ANYTHING the j6 committee published. The entire agenda of the j6 committee was to recreate the crisis and persecute protesters and also to narrate that President Trump was guiding some insurrection plans. All of this is ridiculously absurd.
In fact, when you think about it…IF the j6 committee had any level of credibility and interest, that committee would have easily vetted EPPS before he was placed under testimony and specific leading questions would have happened ….and immediate referral to DOJ for criminal charges. So right there, you can deduce that the j6 committee was never interested in actually doing investigative work…plainly, they KNEW about EPPS…and took his word for it and refused to actually dig at all, because the official record would show what they wanted to protect. So they spiked the ball.
also noting: one does not have to be an official formal CHS asset or even paid by the FBI to act on their behalf, or to provide benefit to that rogue agency. So the narration that EPPS was not acting in some official capacity for the FBI is also ridiculous. Think about how former IC agency people are being recruited by homeland security as “advisors”. Whether this is a paid position or not, is moot. That they perform to benefit a specific federal agency and are relied upon for policy and strategy is the point. (But I am certain they will get well paid…as I am sure EPPS was well compensated in some way for his role too!)
God Bless America
Justice is blind…. Naaaaa doj feet and a dump truck on the scales.
Business as usual. They think we are really, really stupid. Of course, they have every reason to think that because there is never any push back no matter what they do.
They don’t care what we think. They do as they please to create a veneer that they can then let the media propagate the narrative.
Who’s worse? The perps (DOJ, FBI, etc) or the feckless GOP that allows and has allowed all of it to happen?
The enemy you know vs the enemy that you thought was fighting for you?
When they own the machinery , own the messengers, and own the opposition, why would the EVER do anything that is against their own interest? They won’t. So the predictability of what will be done is getting near 100%.
If the Dems think that this will NOT be an issue in the next election they are out of their minds-this guy was a Dem plant (as was whomever planted the “pipe bomb” that myseteriously has didsappeared from the public’s memory and which I believe would have been remotely detonated by the Dems had Epps’ urging had not gotten people to head to the Capital). And what of the guy (And Epps’ partner in crime) who was cutting the wire fences to facilitate an open path TO the Capital? The Dems must think the public s as brain dead as The President- we are NOT. I’m still calling for the House Reulbicans to call Nancy Pelosi andNMuriel Bowser to testify UNDER OATH as to their reasons for denying Trump’s request for 10,000 National Guardsmen at the Capital on Jan 6th- why whoud Trump have wanted them if he was going to start a riot? Meanwhile people are STIL in Jail for Jan 6th- where (Despite KJP’s, the LEAST TALENTED Press Secretary in history , repeating it) NO COPS DIED on JAn 6th as a result of the crowd entering the capital- Officer sicklick died of a stroke days later.Ashli BAbbitt (who was shown onfilm to be NO THREAT) was murdered in cold blood by a Capital officer who had recently been disiplined for leaing his gun in the men’s room…but was NOT disciplined for murdering in cold blood a woman who served her country. The Dems wouldn’t know the truth if it came up and bit them on the ass. And the yare getting more and more desperate as the public wakes up to this corrupt and senile President.
House Republicans need to cut off all funding of these criminals at the corrupt Department of INjustice.
They are an organized crime syndicate and are not even hiding it anymore.
They’re just rubbing our faces in this crap.
Disgraceful.
Can’t make this stuff up, but can it be stopped?!?
The J6 Committee question was purposely narrow to provide a head fake, “… for the FBI or any law enforcement agency.” It should be asked again, with broader inquiry:
“Were you employed, working with or acting at the direction of any GOVERNMENT ENTITY OR THEIR AGENT?”
Maybe This Latest Blatant Ballot Box Stuffing Scandal Will Be the Last Straw – PJ Media
This is absolutely evil! While the J6 patriots rot in the D.C. gulag, this high profile, rabble-rousing galoot
gets out with the slight of hand by the crooked judge.
No Justification for this.
I don’t believe BLM activist John Sullivan was prosecuted by the Biden justice department. He did break a window at the Capitol and filmed the murder of Ashee Babbitt by the Capitol Police Officer supervised by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Dr. Steve Pieczenik was the same sort of IC asset pointed at Alex Jones and InfoWars before the 2020 election. His last interview was just a bunch of obvious lies delivered with a self-satisfied smirk that was really off-putting and revealing.
Was Epps an active FBI agent? Yes or No
If yes, where is the proof
The CIA is not a law enforcement agency.
SD (sarcasm noted): “You just can’t make this stuff up folks.”
No, indeed, and no imagination is required. The legal treatment of Epps is merely the latest manifestation of leftists effectively utilizing the oppressive power they solidly hold and aggressively wield. It’s their world, and they brazenly act with impunity.
In the meantime, Garland is denying, obfuscating, failing to recall relevant conversations, casting doubt on the integrity of whistleblowers whose testimony has been corroborated multiple times, and very likely committing perjury, again. Nevertheless, he does so fearlessly, confident that he is protected by an impenetrable shield composed of the DOJ/FBI/Senate Dems, and the dementia addled president.
For the next 16 months, at least, no matter how unlawful and/or egregious the offense against the Republic and its patriotic advocates, only the SCOTUS can protect and defend the Constitution.
Yup. Ridiculous enough to be a Monty Python skit. This pseudo-legal jerk-fest would be funny, if it wasn’t so grievously dangerous to our republic, in a very real and immediate sense.
And if the lives of REAL PEOPLE who dared to exercise their first amendment rights weren’t being completely destroyed.
We don’t have a justice system. What we do have is a criminal organization.
Jim Jordans House Judiciary Committee brings in Attorney General Merrick Garland to testify and lo and behold, what do we hear, why yes, Scarlett, we give a damn, as we did arrest and charge a Mr. Ray Epps, so based upon that, ” I can’t comment on a blah blah blah”.
“Mr. Garland, how many FBI provocateurs were in the crowd?” “I have no knowledge of that..blah blah blah”….Oh and the guy on the committee doing all the “hammering” on Garland (oooh I bet he’s scared!)was Rep Tom Massie. Yup, the same guy who is all in on Ronald DeSantis…Mrs. Clown, meet Mr. Show.
so obvious how every single outlet is pushing an identical narrative? It’s almost like they all received the exact same talking points
Fake News really wants you to think Ray Epps was the subject of “conspiracy theories”, as though this fake slap on the wrist charge disproves them. If anything, it strengthens the suspicions about Epps.
“It’s like they all have the same talking points”-Ya think? It really is diabolical, all of it.
right – narrartive injury causes immediate fix.
this narrative fix is to say this nobody was arrested for a minor thing and the conspiracies are just conspiracices.
Sue the Media – frame it as they are not news they are conspiracy – use the evidence since 2016
sue the DNC and RNC – rico for robbing people of their money and not fulffilling their promised duty of representing
“Awareness of Epps reach such a high saturation in the public that he had to be arrested to offset the narrative of the FBI being complicit in framing and raiding the White House. Epps was not harmed in this operation and received a parking ticket”
It’s totally brazen and in your face. They are doing it because they can and they know there won’t be any pushback from spineless and stupid Republicans.
I’m not sure it’s fair to call them spineless or stupid.
The word we should be using is “complicit”
The Democrats/Left does this because they can. Nobody stops them. They suffer no consequences.
It is OUR fault this garbage is occurring.
I’ll keep quoting Neil Oliver when he says he fancies a revolution.
It is way past voting our way out of this mess. The evil and corruption is endemic in the Uniparty and every government agency and organization. They gave seeded themselves everywhere it counts.
Conservatives must stop being polite and quickly learn to play for keeps like the Left does.
Everything is so centralized in our lives, that a revolution would get put down fairly quickly
The problem is, the “conservatives” in office we count on to push back are not really who they pretend to be.
It’s not that they lack will, fortitude or purpose.
It’s just that their REAL purpose is different from what they publicly express.
They are actually VERY effective at accomplishing what they aim for, which is nothing more than providing the illusion of opposition.
At this, they are diabolically effective.
the J6 committee needs to be arrested next.
Why not just let this guy ride? why arrest him?
Is sunlight actually working.
This is just like arranging a slap on the wrist plea deal for Hunter
They hope to create the illusion of fairness and destroy the “Epps is a fed” narrative before it gains traction among the undecideds.
The proof is in the charges, which are intentionally, cartoonishly disproportionate to what the average J6er is getting for just being there.
They need to give the illusion of accountability while minimizing the damage to one of their prime assets by friendly fire.
So, no. Sunlight is NOT working…yet.
This kid glove treatment only confirms what everyone already knew: Epps is a Fed informant / asset.
Release the tapes; all of them.
wouldnt matter now.
the narrative is set. people believe MAGA stormed and killed cops.
Without details or being a super researcher, or a person with great memory…
All you need to know is the FBI couldnt/didnt solve this, including the pipe bomber etc..
This means the FBI is working against this country, or is useless…
Either way – that means they must be dissolved (during that process, if their are any good ones, they can step up arrest the people they SAY is turning their Agency into hell)
It is stories like this that make it clear why schools started banning Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and other works that made students think beyond what they were told to write.
Why the surprise? The Progs know both parties back them and that conservative leadership won’t lift a finger.
CYA for Casper Milquetoast Garland’s appearance before the committee. Sources and methods ya know!
They had to prosecute him for something because their hair was on fire for him originally, and then, suddenly, no one in the DOJ or FBI ever heard of the guy. Ray Epps became like a big, hairy wart on the nose of a supermodel. They had to do something with him even though it is fairly clear now that, once he got dropped from the “MOST WANTED” list for J6, someone is running him for some reason. It was probably not the FBI, but he belongs to someone in Alphabet City.
I’m stunned that they didn’t go all out tough on the guy and nail him for driving across a double yellow line on a federal highway.
Shh, let them keep pretending . We all have someone close who is doing it.
“Judge Boasberg”
Damn, these mfers are good. I’ve suddenly the urge to blurt out the song “Erika“ fOr nO rEaSoN At aLl.
