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.

They feel fully emboldened to tell us these things to our face.

Why shouldn't they? They know they can count on us to keep paying them to entertain us no matter how many times they lie to us and slander us.

The article itself is modified template from the ministry of disinformation.

Exactly. I worked with marshals fbi andcdea years ago... i never heard the term “deputized” outside maybe the context of a joke about an old western.

It’s not a serious term used for informants.
