A story by conservative blog Revolver News draws speculative conclusions about Ray Epps, a Trump supporter who attended the Jan. 6 riot.
We’ve seen several attempts at rewriting the events of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
In one version, the breach resembled “an ordinary tourist visit.” We rated that Pants on Fire. In another, left-wing anti-fascists were to blame. That was baseless, too.
Now comes the latest deflection, one that focuses on the federal government, and includes speculative claims that assert that the FBI is responsible for the day’s events.
“Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol,” reads the Oct. 25 headline of a story on Revolver News, a right-leaning website run by a former Trump White House speechwriter. Other conservative sites cited the report with their own headlines like this one that gained traction on Facebook: “BOMBSHELL: Did Jan. 6 Riot and Ray Epps EXPOSE a Corrupt FBI?”

Barf alert. It is important to read what disinformation is being distributed.
Pushing back and exposing the truth is getting to them. They MUST have their narrative.
We must push harder...
Trump wasn’t even done speaking and short haired guys with sunglasses and earpieces (and armor) we breaching the Capital…
Samantha Putterman, I’ve stopped paying any attention to liars named Putterman, Goldberg, Soros, Zuckerberg, Zucker, any any other similar names.
John Sullivan from Antifa and Ray Epps would have to testify otherwise if the Feds did their job and arrested them.
*were
‘Glowies’ are not visible under normal light ...
The first guys who entered the capitol had a different look than most of the other rioters.
And fools think the FBI is going to admit it.
Epps was is an FBI informant.
Nothing else explains why he hasn’t been arrested.
You mean the initial attackers who were all black with Trump hats and flags?
When those investigating are the criminals one would hardly expect them to find guilt.
They were so bad on the latest Rittenhouse case they are in territory for getting sued.
And no one is jumping to conclusions, but if you have any credibility, you have to ask the questions in your post.
Then why did the FBI harass the 2 people who approached Ray Epps outside his house?

Better headline: The DOJ and FBI refuse to answer whether paid assets were filmed instigating riots.
The FBI investigating itself ain’t gonna find stuff
Sounds very...authoritarian.
FBI won’t disclose anything.
“Look, there’s NO evidence!”
