Ray Epps Hires Lawyer With Ties To FBI-Linked Perkins Coie, Threatens Tucker Carlson Regarding Allegations that He was a Jan 6. Government Provacateur

Ray Epps’s new attorney, who is demanding on behalf of his client a public apology from Tucker Carlson under threat of a defamation lawsuit, is the director of a radical anti-Trump organization, a close associate of Media Matters Democrat attack dog David Brock and a former employee of Perkins Coie, the lawfare firm behind Russiagate and the Steele dossier.

Epps’s attorney, Michael Teter, sent a letter on Thursday to Carlson, demanding the Fox News host retract what Teter called “false and defamatory statements” that Epps was a J6 government plant.

"Letters seeking retractions and apologies are often sent when lawyers are preparing to file a defamation lawsuit," writes @alanfeuer — Trip Gabriel (@tripgabriel) March 23, 2023

Carlson and myriad media outlets have reported on Epps’s suspect actions connected to the J6 uprising, his dubious testimony to the J6 Inquisition and his connections to federal agents.

Teter — Epps’s new lawyer — is a former employee of Perkins Coie, the firm notorious for the grunt work and disinformation campaigns it ran for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The Democrat-connected law firm helped hatch the Steele dossier and actively collaborated with the FBI to push the bogus Russia collusion narrative. In the run-up to the 2016 tilt, Perkins Coie had furnished the FBI with office space.

“We have learned that since March 2012, the FBI approved and facilitated a Secure Work Environment at Perkins Coie’s Washington, D.C. office, which continues to be operational,” lawmakers wrote to FBI chief Christopher Wray.

And now one of Perkins Coie’s alumni is helping Ray Epps shut down Tucker Carlson.

Perkins Coie represented Hillary Clinton and David Brock wrote the David Brock memo after Hillary lost that launched the plan to take down Pres Trump backed by big Democrat donors.

After leaving Perkins Coie, Ray Epps’ new attorney hooked up with Media Matters founder and TDS fabulist David Brock. While not threatening Tucker Carlson with lawsuits on behalf of suspected J6 fed plant Ray Epps, Teter manages The 65 Project, where Brock is a senior advisor.

The 65 Project was launched to punish lawyers who supported President Trump and to dissuade future attempts to overturn elections on illegitimate grounds.

Tucker should invite him on his show to take a polygraph.

On J6, Epps was wearing a Trump hat as he called for storming the Capitol. Why would such a militant Trump supporter hire a rabid anti-Trumper as his attorney?

Back in the day, not long ago, they would have been visited by another type of connected.

And ended up in the trunk of a car to send a message.

And they surging again and a whole lot of them are Trump supporters.

Believe it or not.

I hope it ends up in court. Be interesting to see what kind of facts are offered by the two sides.

Perkins Coie had highly Classified Docs that they were not cleared to see nor possess, and there was just no problem at all.

Ray Epps tells this sob story about being a regular guy struggling to get a small business going, so how the hell does he afford Perkins-Coie?

My thinking is they just want to give Fox an excuse to shut down Tucker Carlson on the subject.

Paul Ryan, his lifelong bestie Trey Gowdy, and Fox’s choices for President don’t want anyone trying to say every single one of these people that attended weren’t the Worst Criminal villains known to man.

Can’t unring their narrative.

Ray Epps sent a Text to a close family member saying he orchestrated the whole thing he was seeing on TV.

Kinda hard to explain that one away.

Perkins-Coie is the DNC’s go-to law firm for lawfare.

Perkins Coie is tied into Liz Cheney’s husband Phil’s law firm, Latham Watkins. This came up before when Hunter Biden was using them.

I can’t remember the details. It’s all SO incestuous.

If he doesn’t have ties to the FBI or other federal agency, he needs to be sent to jail with the others involved with J6.

He committed acts far worse than most on J6.

I’ve mentioned this before, I doubt that being called a government agent or informant can be defamatory.

And Tucker is always careful not to say it directly.

Claiming someone broke the law can be defamatory but Tucker relies on videotapes of Epps in that area.

He did accuse Epps of lying about where he was when he texted his nephew. I assume Tucker went by the clock on the camera showing Epps.

Considering Epps says he was not an agent, and he’s on tape during Jan 6, the democrats and Jan 6 committee had no logical reason to be sympathetic to him.

He told his nephew that he organized the protest in the Capitol (which he did) and they accepted his explanation that it was a “joke”.

What means this? “And they surging again and a whole lot of them are Trump supporters.”
