A subpoena was issued for Ray Epps, however, he evaded being served. The Proud Boys’ defense attorney asked they be allowed to publish the subpoena publically, but the judge refused that request. The defense attorney then requested that the US Marshalls bring Epps in, but the judge denied that as well. The actions of both Epps and the judge made it quite clear that the government doesn’t want Epps to be questioned under oath, but they are more than willing to allow him to appear on 60 Minutes for a puff piece “interview”.

Sydney Powell’s book, “Licensed to Lie”, shows clearly how federal judges - for the most part - seem to be corrupt. Powell also eviscerated Andrew Weissmann, and yet he is now standing taller than ever.
