Calling Kash Patel, Please Pick Up!… FBI Admits to Holding 1,840 Pages of Records, 27 Minutes of Audio and 49 Minutes of Video on J-6 Instigator Ray Epps – But Estimate a June 2028 Final Release Date
The Gateway Pundit ^ | October 14, 2026 | Jim Hoft

Infamous J-6 instigator Ray Epps never served time for any crimes after the January 6, 2021, protests and riot at the US Capitol.

Ray Epps was listed as #16 on the FBI Most Wanted List for a few days after the January 6, 2021 protests until he was removed from the list.

Epps led the charge on the US Capitol and was up front when protesters broke through two bike rack barriers. And it was Ray Epps who pushed a giant MAGA sign at police, a crime that sent at least eight protesters to prison for several years.

Yet, Ray Epps was quickly removed from the FBI Most Wanted List in 2021 for some reason. We still have no idea why the FBI did this.

In 2025, investigative journalist Yehuda Miller, on behalf of The Gateway Pundit, made a FOIA request from the Department of Justice for any and all information regarding Ray Epps and January 6, including all communications and directives relating to the removal of Ray Epps from the wanted list.

We also requested all communications between the FBI and Ray Epps from Jan 1, 2020, through Jan 1, 2025, and all files, records, and communications relating to Ray Epps from Jan 1, 2020, through Jan 1, 2025.

On Thursday, we received a response to our FOIA request on Ray Epps.

The FBI rejected the FOIA request, saying, "While the existence of FBI records is acknowledged, the records are exempt from disclosure as processing these third-party records would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy."

What was that supposed to mean? They have the records, but releasing them may be "an invasion of Ray Epps' personal privacy?"

"The FBI has completed its search for records subject to the FOIA that are responsive to your request. The records on third party individuals) you requested are categorically denied pursuant to FOIA exemptions (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C), 5 U.S.C. §§ 552 (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C). Please be advised that you have not sufficiently demonstrated that the public's interest in disclosure (relating to the operations and activities of the government) outweigh the personal privacy interests of these individual(s). While the existence of FBI records is acknowledged, the records are exempt from disclosure as processing these third-party records would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. As a result, your request is closed."

I expect almost nothing from anyone not named Trump.

While we are getting blasted with non stop political ads, most of which are partial truths and some are outright dirty lies, something occurred to me. If these candidates are willing to be so dirty in trying to get the job, what makes anyone think that they will suddenly be honorable if elected?

Politicians are the least of us.

I don’t understand the obsession with a dead man. All those “call girls” aka....prostitutes were paid a min of half a mil.

I agree, but where is Trump on this one? We know he knows about Epps.

“Politicians rank just above Used Car Salesmen..............”

Oh, I’d put them far below used car salesmen. The only people below politicians are the ones in jail for horrible crimes.

Here in DFW Texas, every single TV and YouTube ad has been negative, on both sides of the Senate race. If I weren’t a FReeper, my gut reaction would be “a pox on both your houses” and I just might stay home because they’re both [bleep] [bleep] [bleeperbleeping] [bleeps]. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.

Document releases have been difficult for the FBI under Trump/Patel.

What dead man are you referring to?

Ray Epps is not dead, unless he died this AM.

Are you referring to Epstein? If so 1, they were children and 2, that was a core part of the last campaign. Release the Epstein files. Remember all the conservative influencers walking out with their big binders right after the election? The files being on Bondi’s desk just waiting to be released?

Then the President said releasing that info would 'hurt his friends'.

Kash is too busy traveling and hanging with his girlfriend to pay attention to the job. Why can’t Trump find people for the DOJ like Hegseth and Company?
