Ray Epps, a mysterious January 6 figure some theorized to be a federal informant, told his nephew that he “orchestrated” what transpired that day in 2021.
The bombastic assertion was revealed in a lightly redacted transcript released Thursday by the House January 6 Committee. Claiming he made a poor choice of words to his nephew, Epps insisted to congressional investigators his actions had nothing to do with inciting the Capitol riot and, to the contrary, he was trying to stop the onset of violence. Epps, who is seen in video clips encouraging people to march into the Capitol, also flatly denied he was acting on behalf of any government agency while in Washington, D.C.
His nephew, 28-year-old Dalin, texted Epps on the morning of January 6, saying, “You and Jim be safe.” Jim is Epps’ son, who was also in the nation’s capital. Hours later, at 2:12 p.m., as the violence at the Capitol was getting underway, Epps responded with a brag. “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it,” he said.
Investigators pressed Epps to explain his wording.
“I just meant that I got — you have to understand our relationship, uncle-nephew. We hunt together. We fun with each other [sic]. We do that kind of stuff,” he said. “What I meant by ‘orchestrate,’ I helped get people there.”
Epps also said he “took credit for it, but I didn’t know what I was taking credit for,” and later claimed he used the wrong word. “I won’t know what the right word is, but ‘orchestrating’ — my wife has told me over and over, you shouldn’t say things you don’t — you know, I shouldn’t have used that word,” he said.

Fed Epps...
they always have to brag to someone.
No surprise,,,,,Epps did more than anyone else to storm the Capitol...Numerous vids of him with a bullhorn encouraging his cohorts to get people rush the Capitol,,,,,seems Nanc maybe orchestrated the FBI to set up Epps to be the ring leader.....and like Schumer said set up Trump since Nanc had turned down Trump’s offer of Fed troops to be available twice.
Well, Ray, there are people rotting in DC jails who did far less than you that day.
Does he say why he was there?
Was he protesting something?
SPJNK.
Lots of criminals commit a crime, then feel a need to brag about getting away with it.
Yep. The only explanation he is not rotting in a J6 dirty prison cell is Epps
is a FED.
Liz Cheney is a fraud just like her father with the WMDs.
Ray Epps is bff with Doug Mastriano.
Btw, Mastriano was robbed.
The only reason he’s not in prison is because he’s on the Feds’ payroll and he might narc.
.
Ray Epps did not kill himself.
Musician!
Playing it cool and dumb, yep...federal coaching...
Yet know one in the DOJ has ever heard of the guy. Ok…
Oh goody. People are starting to confess.
“Nanc had turned down Trump’s offer of Fed troops to be available twice.”
But as Commander in Chief, Trump could have thumbed his nose at nazi pelosi and ordered the 82nd Airborne to take up security prior to the 6th.
He didn’t do this because the treasonous demsheviks such as nazi, aoc, schumer, etc and their fifth column media had successfully painted Trump into a corner going as far back as the summer 2020 riots by saying that he’d be the “dictator” they warned everyone about if he deployed the troops.
