Controversy is again swirling around Capitol incursion figure Ray Epps as the Department of Justice calls for him to spend no more than six months in jail and face a $500 fine.
Epps was highly visible in multiple videos from the incursion and was seen urging people to go to the Capitol building.
Because he was not initially charged, speculation ran rampant that Epps was a federal agent whipping up and organizing protesters. He was eventually charged with one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct in September.
American Greatness reporter Julie Kelly noted in a post on X at the time that the charge was far milder than other charges against Jan. 6 defendants.
“This lame single charge tells us everything we need to know about Ray Epps. No obstruction felony? No civil disorder charge? Not even a trespassing on restricted grounds misdemeanor?” she wrote.
Similar thoughts erupted after the government’s sentencing memorandum was issued Tuesday.

Correction: He urged people to go IN to the capital.
He’s just going undercover to investigate aryan nation activities in whatever prison he’s going to.
Epps is a Fed.
This wrist slap is just confirmation. He was a provocateur, whether fed or freelancer, and the feds appreciated it. He was trying to get people in trouble.
More likely they'll build a halfway house just for Ray Epps at a federal prison. Everyone is watching. So they'll make him wear a orange prison jumpsuit. Then he'll get out in 6 months. They'll show him live on CNN.
Ray Epps' cover is blown. So they have to do all of this.
They will make it worth his while.
these people are flipping the bird at all of us....
