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”

Fox seems to have stopped Tucker from showing more videos from the Capitol cameras. Will they buckle to Epps too?
Ray Epps has nothing to do with it.
The deep state is targeting Tucker Carlson.
You can see and hear Epps for yourself!!! This is amazing. We are truly in the Soviet States of America.
<< by pushing “fanciful notions” regarding Epps’s involvement in the Capitol attack that were “demonstrably false.” >>
Fanciful? It’s all on video, Ray: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikta_UQBT04
Very true indeed, cheers!
When you throw a rock at a pack of mad dogs the one that yelps is the one you hit.
That’s probably closer to the truth, than anything.
So much for freedom of the press.
My tagline thanks you...!
Hey, Ray. It’s called the First Amendment.
Suck it. Suck it hard. Suck it long.
I think Tucker handled it by saying that is alleged by people in the video that Epps was working for Feds, he did not declare it as fact. He let the video do the talking.
If I remember it correctly, then there isn’t much Epps can do about that.
Who is paying for Epps’ lawyer?
Epps’ claim is that he thought the Capitol would be open to tourists and that you could just go in legally.
That the crowd started shouting at him “Fed! Fed! Fed!’ certainly indicates they perceived him to be calling for a crime.
And then tapes supposedly show him there when the Capitol was breached.
Plus his text at the time that he “orchestrated” it.
The claim that saying he worked for the federal governed is defamatory, is humorous at best.
None of it explains why he wasn’t prosecuted.
Or why a Jan 6 Trump supporter is now represented by a powerful Democrat / deep state law firm.
But maybe.
The time for a new J6 investigation to get to the truth is long, long overdue. It is time to have Mr Epps testify before congress. It is time to have Ms Pelosi testify before congress. It is time to have Mr Byrd testify before congress. But then, maybe Mr McCarthy and the deep state don't want to see the truth?
January 6, 2021 was not an insurrection. It was America's Reichstag Fire. Protesters were enticed and welcomed to enter the capital. Mr Epps was part of that!
Mister “we need to go into the studio”……
I’m sure Tucker would love to have him on the show
Which is why a nobody from Queen Creek has a lawyer from DNC Galactic HQ, Perkins Coie.
He wouldn’t get thru to the first secretary on a phone call unless the deepest of FedGov overseers wanted it.
It’s obvious by that alone that all the accusations are true.
I’m sure Carlson would be glad to have Epps on his show and give him as much time as he wants to explain away his urging people to go “into the Capitol, into the Capitol” and the fact that he was whispering in someone’s ear just seconds before the guy breached the flimsy barricade at the Capitol. Epps can also explain why he lied about where he was when he sent the email about how he orchestrated the event. Should be easy enough for him to explain all these things.
Tucker has Epps by the cajones with condemning videos and Epps doesn’t like it. Vids prove Epps was in the Capitol Building after telling Committee under oath he was not.
