Then why isn’t he in political 3rd world prison.
Ok, NYT, then why hasn’t Epps been charged if he was one of the instigators of the “insurrection” at the Capitol, urging people to breach the barriers, even showing them the way? He says he wasn’t an FBI informant, so case closed?
Ok so did he deny that he urged protesters into the Captitol? Did he deny working on behest of federal law enforcement? What exactly is his story? Something is not adding up.
Did anybody explain why he was removed from their January 6 most-wanted list?
Why do they need to debunk it? The NYT tells us right in the headline that it’s unfounded, so we certainly don’t need any proof or investigation of any kind.
The poor NYT must have used up their “baseless” allotment and had to find a different word.
Not sure how in the heck its evidence against the most plausible explanation which is that:
1) He was identified by pics by some feds as a man they wanted to charge.
2) But then they decided not to charge him because some other feds recognized he was one of theirs.
Not sure what other theory fits the evidence better. Do they have any evidence that does not fit that theory?
Don’t miss the meta message. If the Committee on Jan 6 has to mount a counter attack, that means this is a genuine and potentially explosive issue.
I knew it was from the mainstream media from the title. “Unfounded theory”, how predictable.
So far, not a damn thing.
If the things that Ray Epps said and did do not merit charges being filed against him, then under what scenario could words and actions of ANYONE not directly involved be considered worthy of charges? For example, how could Trump or anybody else somehow be charged for the words they said or didn’t say if Ray Epps words, “you must go INTO the Capital” or the words and cajoling by tower commander man are not considered worth even looking into.
Tim Mulvey: Were you acting as an agent of law enforcement?
Ray Epps: No.
Funny how there's multiple video of him telling people to enter the Capital but he was never arrested and charged.
The New York Times: SELF-PROCLAIMED newspaper of record.
Doesn’t the old grey lady ever get tired of being wrong?
Let me guess.
They’re going to “debunk” the conspiracy theory that FBI, other government agents, & informants were provocateurs of a false flag on January 6th.
When will subpoenas be issued by the Jan 6th kangaroo committee to the cop fighters and window breakers?
They seemed like a fairly small number of people, perhaps that’s where an investigation should start.
You know with the actual perpetrators of the riot, instead of a political fishing expedition intended to manipulate the biases of the urban voter.
“Raymond Epps is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”
Well that seals it then. If Epps "told" them then it must be true.
Most likely it comes down to a Clintonian parsing of "informant." Epps probably worked with the FBI but not strictly for the FBI. That flimsy reed is enough for the Democrats to pretend--with help from their lapdog media of course--that there's no there there.
LOL, so they found an insurrectionist they feel the need to rush to the defense of.
Clowns.
How about a little “equal justice under the law”.
Organizer Ray Epps goes free, and is thanked for cooperating. Grandma is ushered in by Capitol police and spends 1 year in prison without a trial.
It is much more than simply odd that New York Times and the left in general are defending someone who is supposedly part of a pro Trump rally that led to an insurrection. They seem to want to paint all Trump supporters with a broad brush. So it is very peculiar that they rush to the defense of this man.

They tried to ignore this, but people are catching on. So the word has gone out to lie about it.
