During his expose regarding the occurrences on January 6 2021, Tucker Carlson covered the curious circumstances surrounding Rap Epps.
Epps was seen on camera inciting Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night before the Jan. 6 protests.
Carlson reported Epps sent a text to his nephew claiming he ‘orchestrated it’.
This is most certainly a suspicious claim to make at that juncture when temperatures were running very high.
Carlson also revealed that when Epps was interviewed by the January 6 House Select Committee, where he claimed that was to be proceeding back to his hotel in D.C. when he sent the text.

So, what is Ray Epps up to now?
NBC News reports Epp’s lawyer Michael Teter sent a ease-and-desist notice to Tucker Carlson and Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar demanding a retraction and apology from Carlson relating to Epps.
In the notice, Teter wrote that the Fox News host “persists with his assault on the truth” by pushing “fanciful notions” regarding Epps’s involvement in the Capitol attack that were “demonstrably false.”
Teter demanded that Carlson and Fox News publicly retract the claim that Epps was working for the federal government during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the claim that Epps “acted as an instigator or provocateur of the insurrection.”
“We expect that you will give the same airtime in retracting these falsehoods as you spent amplifying them….
“Further, Mr. Carlson and Fox News must issue a formal on-air apology for the lies you have spread about Mr. Epps.”
Teter claimed Carlson’s coverage caused Epps and his wife to be the victims of “threats, intimidation, and harassment, resulting in significant economic and emotional damages”

Oh, Mr. Teter, Carlson is way familiar with "threats", etc. on him and his family and their home. Whatever became of that?
And what weapon is ray epps and his communist handlers using to target?
Lawfare.
Tucker should make Epps bring his loser pays frivolous lawsuit. Discovery will be fun!
Epps is a treasonous bass turd, IMHO. The star actor in that fiasco.
I was trying to imagine why this now, and realize there must be much more of Ray Epps on the Capitol videos, working as a Fed / FBI sponsored insurrection leader.
Tucker is entertainment.... per Rachel Madow, IIRC.
Did the feds give him a good enough “legend” to withstand discovery? It would be sort of funny if at the same time they claim he was never employed by the feds they deny access to his records because of “national security interests”.
Papers do retractions everyday. You have freedom of the press. But not freedom to lie. Not sure whose right here, but both should have receipts to prove their side.
Exactly. And now we know the strategy going forward as the guv agents and assets are identified in the videos by others.
Yepp ... opportunity of a lifetime ... big Ray can set the record straight on national tv, once and for all, clear up the “misunderstanding” for the “good of the nation” ... but he won’t, because he has something(s) to hide.
I hope TC invites him, and puts it on the air that he has invited him.
The FBI is targeting Tucker using its proxy Ray Epps.
“fanciful notions” regarding Epps’s involvement in the Capitol attack that were “demonstrably false.”
What a set up. Carlson can just publicly ask for the demonstration, and offer a retraction if convinced.
Why doesn’t Epps just go on and tell the truth?
NeverTrump News was the last place the tapes should have gone. May as well given them to CNN.
You misspelled J6 “Commie-tee.”
We actually have video evidence of him encouraging others to storm the Capitol. That's more than what other Jan. 6 prisoners did.
So what is it, Mr. Epps, are you an FBI agent, or should you be locked up for inciting violence?
“You can see and hear Epps for yourself!!!”
Exactly. Send their attorney a copy of the tape and tell them to pound sand.
This would typically be a “bring it on” moment. Let’s take this to court and see what we find in the discovery process.
Unfortunately, Epps feels pretty confident that the FBI/DOJ has his back and will hide or destroy evidence that shows he was working undercover for them and an integral instigator on January 6th . . .
Would be such a shame if someone decided to bomb Perkins Coie.
