Another MAGA conspiracy theory implodes: Arizona man was not an FBI plant to stage Jan. 6 attack after all
MSN ^ | May 5, 2022 | Matthew Chapman

Posted on 06/01/2022 4:27:04 AM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

On Thursday, The New York Times revealed new evidence debunking a longtime conspiracy theory among Trump supporters about the January 6 Capitol insurrection: that an Arizona man named Ray Epps was deputized as an FBI informant to instigate the attack.

"The claims, made in congressional hearing rooms, on Fox News and at Mr. Trump’s political rallies, have largely been based on a video taken just before violence erupted at the Capitol, showing Mr. Epps at the barricades outside the building whispering into the ear of a man named Ryan Samsel," reported Alan Feuer.

MSN? Pass all their “news” through an inverter. If they said “yes”, it’s no.

Yeah. We should have just Burned, Looted, and Murdered like the Left did, and then had the arrests expunged and everyone released, because, hey, they play by all the same rules and observe them too, including things like election laws and such.

Yeah. We should just be good little meek tools who play by the rules, because we know how important it is to play by those rules, because we are the party of law and order.

The article includes absolutely no new facts, and talks only about Epps whispering in someone’s ear.

No mention of him loidly telling crowds to enter the Capitol, which caused the crowd to chant at him “Fed! Fed!”

Also, they’re ruining the lives of people who were just in DC that day, but for some reason they want to protect this one agitator.

And the article offers no evidence of any kind.

I don't know if it was intentional, but you helped make my point for me. The leftists are going to murder and loot because the Democrats who run the cities they do it in will let them get away. They won't let us. It's called situational awareness.

Yeah. We should just be good little meek tools who play by the rules, because we know how important it is to play by those rules, because we are the party of law and order.

Now that's funny. It was our side that supported the trade deals that sent our wealth to a Communist country and turned them into a super power. It's our TV subscriptions that's making the leftist media rich while they slander us. We created the monster that is trying to destroy us, and now we want to act tough against them.

Not all of you, but you know who you are.

What other finding do you expect when people investigate their own crimes?

How can you expect justice when juries are stacked with political people who support the evil-doers on trial?

How can you expect impartial justice from the Supreme Court when members of the court are implicit in unethical conduct, breaking rules and violating their oath of office?

Thanks to democrats America is no longer the “Shining City On The Hill”.

Our federal government is now the shining grease streak in the sewage flowing by.

The “debunking report” comes from none other than….the J6 nonselect committee.

Now, THEY’RE believable. NOT!

And, this article is based on/links to a Raw Story article titled….

‘Sorry, crazies’: Jan. 6 committee debunks conspiracy theory that Ray Epps was an FBI informant

Written by a tool with SEVERE Trump Derangement Syndrome …check out the articles he’s written ….

https://www.rawstory.com/u/johnwright

Now, I’m totally convinced.

These lying leftists are so obvious. They make up their own laws, lies, fake reality and the mind numbed dolts who follow them, believe them.

Another MSN FAIL.

This coming from the propaganda outlets that call AR-15s “assault weapons” and “weapons of war”.

I wouldn’t believe them if it was 6:00 AM, and they said the sun was coming up.

I would guess this hinges on the use of the word, Deputized. Sheriffs deputize. The FBI not so much. “Worked an informant” is the proper term.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

right out of the clintonista speak playbook

as we just witnessed during the sussman trials, there are numerous law firms & PR firms working as cut outs for the dems/fibbers/doj

If Epps wasn’t an FBI employee or contractor, he’d be in jail awaiting prosecution.
