Ray Epps has suffered enormously in the past 10 months as right-wing media figures and Republican politicians have baselessly described him as a covert government agent who helped to instigate the attack on the Capitol last year.
have assailed him as a coward and a traitor and have menacingly cautioned him to sleep with one eye open. He was forced to sell his business and his home in Arizona. Fearing for his safety and uncertain of his future, he and his wife moved into a mobile home in the foothills of the Rockies, with all of their belongings crammed into shipping containers in a high-desert meadow, a mile or two away.

“And for what — lies?” Epps asked the other day with a look of pained exhaustion. “All of this, it’s just been hell.”
Almost from the moment that a violent mob stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, allies of former President Donald Trump have sought to shift the blame for the attack away from the people who were in the pro-Trump crowd that day to any number of scapegoats.

If he’s not a fed why wasn’t he not charged and jailed and being held like all the others?
Could be worse.
Really? Life’s been hell for you, Epps?
Can’t make it past the headline. I don’t care what he says.
p
Poor Ray Epps ... just doin’ what the FBI told him to ....
Life has been hell for him, really. Bet it is nothing like life has been for the Jan political prisoners he is partially responsible for. POS
Well....boo fookin hoo for Epps.
What does it matter to him that 700 + or - of his fellow American Citizens have been languishing in Federal Gulags without their basic human and Constitutional rights for the past year and a half?
If the NYT is on his side...
If the slimes is defending him, yeah, he is a plant.
Me either. I hope he finds it difficult to walk down any street USA.
FED FED FED
Biggest threat to Ray is that he may be Arkancided to keep him from talking.
Will be made to look like a MAGA hit, of course.
More like his life has been Heck.
Per Tucker Carlson, THE U.S. MILITARY HAD ASSETS IN THE CROWD THAT TODAY, so it is entirely possible Epps is DoD, Pentagon, or some other shadowy DOMESTIC surveillance arm of the U.S. military which is ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
And by the way, F.U.R.E. TO HELL.
If he wants his life back, he can GO ON TUCKER'S SHOW AND TELL AMERICA THE TRUTH REGARDING WHO HE WAS WORKING FOR ON JAN. 6TH.
How many people went to the Jan. 6 rally? I said in an email to a tard I know a couple hundred thousand, he said "10,000".
Like everything else each side has their own facts now.
Anyway, let's compromise and say 50,000 people attended. What's the current count of people arrested up to? Under 1,000.
It seems like the dividing line is "did you go in the capitol, or perhaps push against the barriers around it.
Did Epps go in the capitol? How many people who did not go in have been arrested? I know at least five people who went, and none of them have been arrested. (Two are ladies in their 70s.) But none of them went in the capitol.
Epps sure seems to have done a lot of instigation. That alone makes him guilty of being a creep - the guy urging everyone else to do what he himself is not willing to do.
And then skating away scott-free.
I don't feel sorry for him (I didn't click through to the NY Slimes either). He might be a Fed, but it seems plausible he might not be too.
I Just don't know.
If we had a REAL Jan. 6 investigation, he could be called and put under oath and asked the questions we all have. The fact that he has not been adds to the perception that he's part of the Feeb entrapment operation.
The next GOP President *MUST* pardon all of these people. It's simply disgusting the level of selective prosecution based on politics that has taken place.
That’s just too bad.
Why hasn’t he been arrested?
I thought the article was going to be about the folks who were thrown into solitary without a trial. It must be hell for them!
