Ray Epps was the only person captured on video telling people on Jan. 6 to storm the Capitol in 2021. He has been recommended to receive a six-month prison sentence. Other people who entered the Capitol after police opened its doors and took selfies for some time face years behind bars. What is going on? Ray Epps was or is a federal agent, and led efforts to fake a “insurrection”, on Jan. 6, to frame Donald Trump and destroy him. The leftist elites would never dream of such an act, right?
Daily Wire reported on Tuesday that federal prosecutors “requested,” that Epps receive six months of prison time for his role in a fictional “insurrection.” Epps had avoided prison for the past two years, while others involved in the riots that took place in Washington D.C. have been languishing in the D.C. Gulag for the last three years. Epps was a media darling in the establishment, receiving glowing profiles from 60 Minutes and the New York Times, while everyone else involved with the sagging “insurrection,” were treated as Adolf Hitler.
Consider this: If you still don’t believe that Ray Epps works for the government and is a provocateur working on behalf of a deep-state agent, then consider what follows. Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers, who did not tell anyone to enter the Capitol, received an 18-year prison sentence for his part in the alleged ‘insurrection.’ Ray Epps was recommended to serve only six months despite having been captured on video saying “I am going to put it out there” on Jan. 5, 2020. I was probably going to go to prison for it, okay? He didn’t. Tomorrow, we have to go in the Capitol. The people in the video don’t buy it. They start chanting “Fed!” Fed! Fed!”
Epps said, “Tomorrow – I don’t like to say it because I’ll get arrested …” He didn’t and no one ever explained why. Epps continued, looking at the man who told him to not say it. “We need to go –” he continued, and looked back to the man who told him to not say it. “I will say it.” The crowd laughs at Epps’ exhortation to enter the Capitol.
That’s not all. Epps was also caught on video telling protesters, “We’re going to the Capitol where our problems are.” He pointed to show them where the location is: “It’s in that direction. Please spread the message. Epps can also be seen on video saying, “We are going to the Capitol, where our problems are.” He then points in the direction of the Capitol and tells protesters: “It’s that way.”
If Epps was on the same level as everyone else, it is easy to imagine he would already be in jail and facing many years of imprisonment. He is defended by the media, and a six-month prison sentence is recommended. Even this sentence seems to be a face-saving gesture to dispel the widespread suspicions that Epps wasn’t a Trump fan and was only there to ensure an “insurrection”. It is a very light sentence, which only fuels speculation.
But it’s not that bad. Prosecutors also recommended a year’s supervised release in case Epps decides to start another “insurrection” and a fine of $500. Epps pleaded guilty to disorderly or disruptive behavior in a restricted area or building.
The prosecution argued that Epps’ leniency was justified by his acceptance of responsibility, his efforts to de-escalate conflicts with police officers and rioters, as well as his cooperation with both the FBI and Congress.
Oh, brother. The prosecutors then added, as if this weren’t enough, that the light sentence came about because the poor guy had been “widely affected by the conspiracy theories that he acted as a federal agent on January 6,” Poor old Epps. This nonsense, which is meant to undermine the credibility of Epps critics and label them as conspiracy theorists only serves to prove that they were right all along.
