Ray Epps, the Arizona man who several Republican lawmakers say is a federal informant who was present during the Capitol attack, is scheduled to participate in an interview on Friday with the House Jan. 6 committee.
Mr. Epps’ lawyer, John Blischak, said that the meeting is intended to be a formal, transcribed follow-up to his previous interview with the committee, which took place in November and was disclosed last week, Politico reported.
The committee did not respond to a request for comment.
Republican lawmakers speculate that Mr. Epps was a government informant participating in the riot. A man matching his description is seen in a Jan. 5, 2021 video encouraging rally-goers to enter the Capitol on the next day.
In another video from outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, a man identified as Mr. Epps is seen whispering to a rioter immediately before the individual tore down a police barricade.

FWIW (not much), it is a felony to lie to or even mislead Congress regardless of oath.
The catch? DOJ has to agree to prosecute.

"The catch? DOJ has to agree to prosecute."
Exactly. Epps could lie about anything whatsoever and feel safe.

Pity there won’t be anyone to ask real questions.

The non-committee, that is. Organized without following the rules, no legitimacy fake committee.

I really liked this from the Washington Post article today:
...Self-proclaimed Internet sleuths, seeking to prove the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was the work of federal agents, latch onto “clues.” Partisan players weave the clues into misleading narratives..." I guess the "clues" we "partisan players" weave and "latch onto" involve:
- A man who appears prominently on video in many different place exhorting people to "Go to the Capitol"
- A man who nobody seems to know, not with a group takes it upon himself to assume an outsized role
- Tells people multiple times they "need to go into the capitol"
- Tells people multiple times "He'll probably get arrested for this" (I find this curious-why did he keep saying that? Was he expecting people to get arrested?)
- A man who a large crowd identified as a "Fed" because of the nature of his activities
- Appeared at the point of where illegal activities were occurring.
- Was seen giving commands to a younger man who deferred to him.
- Appeared on the FBI Most Wanted list on Jan 8, 2021, then inexplicably, was removed from it, without explanation, and even with a denial when his name was heard in public places.
- FBI agents in his state "had no idea who he was", even though he was on camera multiple times, on multiple days, in multiple places inciting people he didn't know and had no connection to, exhorting them to engage in what the propagandists call "insurrection". Yet the FBI in his state didn't know who he was?
- In all of this, he was never interviewed by the FBI.
- He was never arrested and imprisoned for inciting people on camera on multiple days, in multiple places, at multiple times, though hundreds of others were for crimes like "parading" and "tresspassing", all with no bail. NO BAIL.
- Most damning, the most untruthful, lying, corrupt, unlawful enemies of the state, the Democrat run January 6 Committee, said they "talked" to Ray Epps, and he's clean. TO ME, THAT IS DEFACTO EVIDENCE HE WAS A GOVERNMENT ASSET.
