Jan. 6 committee dismisses Ray Epps conspiracy theory, issues new subpoenas
NBC News ^ | Jan. 11, 2022 | Allan Smith, Ali Vitali and Haley Talbot

The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol sought to dismiss a right-wing conspiracy theory by announcing Tuesday that Ray Epps, who was seen trying to egg on protesters ahead of the Jan. 6 riot, told committee members in an interview that he was not a federal agent.

The panel also subpoenaed a trio of Trump allies as it continues its months long investigation into the origins of the attack.

Epps wpuld have found it easy to conspire with Democrat party hacks or other private-citizen leftists without risking being nailed as an “agent” of a federal officer.

The one person on video tape saying “We must go INTO the Capitol building,” multiple times over two days, and the intrepid “January 6 investigators” dismiss it as conspiracy theory.

People walking around with flags in the rotunda taking tourist pics though, “Insurrectionists!” “Worst day in American history!!!”

I am so relieved that Epps told the committee that he was not a Fed. That really clears that whole theory up. It is now debunked.

Funny how they asked him if he was a Fed. But what’s more interesting that he stated that they had to break into the Capital to take over. So why isn’t he in jail for insurrection again? I think it’s time for little Adam to release the transcripts of their so called interrogation.

Does this mean everyone who is locked up for Jan 6, and says they aren’t working for the FBI, will now be released?

Maybe the better strategy would be for them to all say they were working for the Feds and Ray Epps was their leader who did the coordinating with the FIBies.

If they all swore to that under oath there is only one way to prove that it's perjury.

Ray Epps, the only person ever to be investigated by the Feds and publically declared innocent.

Ahem! Hillary Rotten Clinton by James Comey?

They may wish Mr. Epps to vanish like mist in the night while proclaining his innocense, hell, they may even facilitate his vanishing before the specter of 2023 is upon us...

The very idea of the Jan 6 Commission supporting ANYONE wearing Trump attire and demanding the breach of the Capitol is lunacy on its face. Like they said, this is a hanging offense this insurrection.

Epps looks like THE leader... Convict and string him up.

He’s an independent contractor so all this fed talk is obviously a conspiracy. The GOP better not let this issue go away and there better be a full investigation after the midterm elections.

Oh.So I guess Ray Epps was just like the Fred McMurray character in The Caine Mutiny.

And, thanked by a Congressman for inciting a riot! Who could make this stuff up?

If anyone at all should hang for sedition he should be at the top of the list and the first to drop. I believe he is the only person they have on tape expressing clear intent to breach the Capitol building.

(The above should not be construed to imply that I think anyone is guilty of insurrection or sedition.)

good time to watch or re-watch the fascinating interview by Jason Goodman of John Sullivan:

7 Jan: Youtube: 1hr13min: John Earle Sullivan in His Own Words
Interviewed by Jason Goodman
** This was originally broadcast on the Jason Goodman YouTube channel on March 6, 2021**
John Earle Sullivan has gained notoriety in the wake of George Floyd’s death, BLM protests and the events of January 6. He has appeared on major news outlets including CNN. He’s recently been accused by prominent social media influencers of being a member of Antifa, but he denies this. Today, John joins me to answer these allegations in his own words.

Interesting, the communist January 6th committee sure is rushing to defend an insurrection participant.

And we are supposed to believe Epps because ...?

I’ve testified before 4 congressional committees, one in closed Executive Session. This Jan. 4th Committee is just like a Soviet, Red Chinese or Iranian fake trial, only “American Marxist/psychopaths” style.

Very good interview by Jason Goodman. John Earl Sullivan is a confused, intelligent young man.

Too bad he didn’t get a good education and learn a profession. He is no Ray Epps who can incite violence in broad daylight and get away scot free; he’s going to prison. Sad.

It’s why democrats always have diversion committees so they don’t have to answer any questions.

He is somebody special because he has not been charged. That says it all.


Maybe he had a "get out of jail free" card, and played it.

Get Out of Jail Free
