It's Just Been Hell:' Life as the Victim of a Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theory
NY Times ^

Posted on 07/13/2022 6:00:15 PM PDT by MNDude

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.

Why would the disreputable NYT claim that his leadership in the riot is baseless? Have they not looked at the film showing his participation?

Why are they not investigating and explaining his role?

There is a mountain of evidence that the January 6 event appears to be set up and staged by Pelosi and company.

I would think being locked for over a year in solitary, mistreated and abandoned by the GOP and a billionaire former POTUS is closer to Hell than whatever Ray Epps has experienced in his life if freedom.

How weird is that? NY times giving us a sob story about a Jan 6 “insurrectionist” who was caught on tape several times over 24 hours urging people to invade the capital.

It only gives credence to the thesis - the NY Times is the mouthpiece of the FBI/CIA.

“Why hasn’t he been arrested?”

Every picture has his face on the megaphone and not arrested.

Poor baby. He has suffered so much more than the people that he encouraged to enter the Capitol, who are still sitting in solitary confinement in Biden’s gulag.

adds to the perception

It wasn't mere perception friend. He was at the barricade inciting people to break through. If we had a justice department he would be put under oath and asked some simple questions. 1) Why was he there? 2) Was he an operative of any organization within the government or outside of the government? 3) Why was he inciting violence that day? Those are some good starter questions but I am sure that many many more need to be answered by Mr Epps. Only a fool would believe that he is innocent.

Those political prisoners have been 18 months in solitary. I was going to go down on Jan 6th with my older brother. I could’ve been sitting in solitary all that time without even being charged.

This article was likely written by the Jan 6 Committee attorneys:
[Epps] was taped urging people to go to the Capitol and was there himself on the day of the assault
A lie by omission. This is how it's done.

What a crock, NYSlimes: he "urged people to go to the Capitol" and then do what? And he was "there himself on the day of the assault" doing what?

And the article goes straight at Revolver News: over the target they are.

“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.”

I would go further and have every member of this so called committee as well as pelosi, schumer, and mcconnell have 100% of their pay, benefits, and other assets seized as restitution for these political prisoners.
