In a sane world, some of the members of this "committee" would be in for legal problems for this.

The FBI, DOJ, and now the January 6th committee really don’t want to talk about Ray Epps.
Today, Ted Cruz caused great triggering by asking some FBI flack named Jill Sanborn about Epps during today’s Senate hearing. Cruz attempted to get answers on exactly what the suspicious man’s role was regarding the Capitol breach, and why he was never charged with anything. What he got was a mix of non-denials and obfuscations in the form of claiming she couldn’t answer the question.
The interest in Epps stems from two things. One, he was caught on video inciting people to riot and break into the Capitol Building. He was also on the Capitol grounds that day. Two, Epps was suddenly removed from the FBI’s most-wanted list, and to this day, no explanation at all for that move has been given. The implication there is obvious, i.e. that Epps was an informant and had used his position to actively encourage violence for the FBI.
Yet, after Cruz levied his questions, something really odd happened. The January 6th Committee released an unprompted statement saying they had interviewed Epps, and even more curious, they seemed to be going to bat for him.

In other words, none of this adds up. If the goal here was to produce criminal referrals for those who helped cause January 6th, no one has more evidence stacked against them than Epps. Again, this is a man who was caught on video — multiple times — inciting people to riot. He told people to enter the Capitol Building. He also took part in the unrest itself, allegedly directing people to tear down barricades. I understand Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and the rest want to send Donald Trump to jail, but how does that preclude them from holding Epps accountable?
But they aren’t even attempting to hold him accountable. Instead, they are releasing statements defending the guy, insisting he wasn’t working for the FBI while providing no other context for his actions.
For giggles, let’s say that’s true and that Epps acted alone. Then why hasn’t he been charged like everyone else? Do they not think he should be charged? Why is the select committee not making Epps a centerpiece of their investigation, given how blatant his incitement was?
There have been grandmas, who wandered around and took selfies, thrown into solitary confinement and charged with crimes stemming from January 6th. A guy who drank Nancy Pelosi’s beer was charged. Others who never even entered the Capitol Building itself have been charged with trespassing. But Ray Epps, despite the FBI knowing where he is the entire last year and formerly having him on the most-wanted list, has not even been arrested?
Sorry, that doesn’t make any sense at all, and short of the FBI and DOJ coming out and providing a real explanation, the rest of us can only assume what their obfuscation means. Lastly, the January 6th Committee continues to show itself to be a partisan joke. They are actually defending people who helped incite violence while still going after others who did nothing of the sort. When the GOP takes back the House, Epps should be put under oath immediately.
Use the Epps defense….I didn’t do anything
#rayeppsdidnotkillhimself ?
This pitiful FBI spokeswoman must’ve gotten her training from Jen Psaki.
Agenda driven policy at its finest.
I also have read that Epps himself did not actually enter the Capitol grounds. I don't know whether that is true or not as well, but it would be worth knowing the answer as a potential explanation for why he wasn't charged.
Ray Epps was most likely paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC to set up innocent people.
They have charged people who didn’t enter the Capitol grounds or not even there on J6.

Would it surprise anyone if the Deep State government agencies were involved in it?
Nothing prevent the AZ AG from INDICTING Ray Epps.

If you need a textbook example of an Agent Provocateur you have it in Epps.
Just for fun, here's a start at a list of people or entities that are not "law enforcement agencies":
o The CIA
o The DNC
o The Perkins Coie Law Firm
o George Soros
o Mark Zuckerberg
o Marc Elias
o Hillary Clinton
o Nancy Pelosi
o BLM
o Antifa
I could go on and on , but you get the point. Lots of ways for the statement to be technically true, and for Epps to be up to his eyeballs in a Deep State false-flag event.
Hmmm, very interesting. Democrats seem to be having trouble holding all of their conspiracy theories together.
There is video of him on the grounds, inside the barricades.
Of course this was an intel, deep state operation NO DOUBT about it!! This was the same people who staged the kidnapping of Whitmer there whole damn case has fallen apart because 75% of the people involved in that WERE FBI!! The FBI creating a false flag operation
Why wasnt he arrested?
Simple answer: he’s a Fed or working for the Feds.
At this rate, they’ll probably have a parade for Epps next week. /s
