Judge tosses Jan. 6 protester Ray Epps’s lawsuit against Fox News
The Hill ^ | 11/27/2024 | Dominick Mastrangelo

Posted on 11/27/2024 11:19:24 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

A judge in Delaware has dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News that was brought by an Arizona man at the center of a conspiracy theory about what sparked the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Ray Epps, a former U.S. Marine, sued Fox last year alleging the network knowingly promoted what his attorneys said were “destructive conspiracy theories” about his involvement in the riot.

Epps was sentenced earlier to a year of probation for his role in insurrection, after admitting to engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds after storming the Capitol.

Why do these retards insist in filing their complaints in liberal states and cities. They must know by now that their cases are going to be tossed.

That is a good question. Who was Ray Epps and exactly what was his role in all of this.

He was a known FIB informant
He was charged VERY late to give him credibility as a protester. Slap on the wrist.
When Trump is in charge I suspect (hope) a deep investigation will go into what happened at the capitol builing on J6
Who was the guy that fired the gunshot from the scaffold? Haven’t heard any information. Surely if they have cell phone data they know exactly who that was. Crickets
The plan was Kameltoe would win and everything would be swept under the rug

Did any of the others charged in the J6 event get a similar sentence as Epps? IF so what was their involvement

Good… Epps is a despicable human being deserving nothing but scorn.

Let's be clear. It's not a prison, it's a gulag ... the Pelosie Gulag ... and it's full of pollitical prisoners. An absolute disgrace and a rejection of everything our Republic stands for. And it's the direct responsibility of Pelosi and the Democrat/Communist Party of America.

Shut it down, President Trump, immediately ... and release the political prisoners with full pardons!

I am still hoping that his active roll in this setup is exposed in the end.

This means there will be no discovery in the court record of Epp’s contacts and dealings. From the standpoint of a coverup, very helpful.

Too bad ... if the trial proceeded he might have had to open his bank accounts and explain where all his “gifts” came from. But just like all of Epstein’s passenger logs, sealed for ever.

I wonder how that lawsuit would have gone if either Biden or Harris had won the Presidency?

We have video of him inciting treason so perhaps our new AG will charge him for it.

I suspect Epps would have backed out because of that. The idea was that the lawsuit would make him look like he was falsely accused...while never forcing people to speak under oath about him, or provide the goods.

One thing for certain, there are vids of him and his helpers with bull horns telling protesters to storm the Capitol building and a vid of him in the building after swearing under oath he never entered the building. Fox showed all thev vids.
