Ray Epps is the fellow who was caught on video multiple times telling pro-Trump protesters that they were going to have to storm the Capitol. Yet despite this clear evidence that he was a singular ringleader and instigator of what Democrats insist was an “insurrection” that threatened the very survival of our free republic, Epps has never been charged with insurrection or anything else, or even been arrested. Meanwhile, people who never told anyone to storm the Capitol have languished in prison without trial for nearly two years now, in shocking conditions. All this has given rise to the widespread and lingering suspicion that Ray Epps is a fed, a suspicion that Epps himself has just reinforced by telling his nephew that he “orchestrated” the events of that fateful day. Of course he did.
A transcript of a deposition of Epps with the House Jan. 6 Committee, dated Jan. 21, 2022 but just released on Thursday, reveals that at 2:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Ray Epps sent a text to his 28-year-old nephew, Dalin Epps: “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.” In the deposition, Ray Epps does his best to back away from this thunderous assertion. He is asked: “Help us understand this text. What did you mean by ‘orchestrate’? What did you orchestrate?” Epps responds first by deflecting to his relationship with his nephew, which no one in the room had asked him anything about: “I just meant that I got — you have to understand our relationship, uncle-nephew. We hunt together. We fun with each other. We do that kind of stuff.” After that, he got to the point: “What I meant by ‘orchestrate,’ I helped get people there.”
Now, Ray Epps is on video saying on Jan. 5, 2021, saying, “I’m gonna put it out there. I’m probably gonna go to jail for it, okay?” He didn’t. “Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol. Into the Capitol.” The people around him in the video aren’t buying it and start chanting, “Fed! Fed! Fed!” At another point, Epps says, “Tomorrow — I don’t even like to say it ‘cause I’ll be arrested…” (he wasn’t). Someone in the crowd responds, “So let’s not say it.” “We need to go —” Epps continues, and looking at the man who told him not to say it, insists, “I’ll say it. We need to go in to the Capitol.” Once again his exhortation is received with derision.

In yet another instance, Epps is caught on video saying, “We are going to the Capitol, where our problems are.” Pointing, he helpfully tells protesters, “It’s that direction. Please spread the word.” He tells some protesters, “When we go in, leave this here,” but it’s unclear to what he is referring. Epps is also in video whispering something to those who pushed down the barriers between the protesters and the Capitol just before they began breaking down the barriers; then he is seen running with them toward the Capitol.
Viewing all this, and knowing that Epps has never even been arrested, it’s extremely hard to escape the suspicion that he was an agent provocateur trying to ensure that protesters breached the Capitol so as to establish the Left’s bogus and hole-ridden “insurrection” narrative. If this were not true, Epps would be languishing in prison in Washington today along with the others who did far less than he did.
This suspicion is only reinforced by Epps’ clumsy efforts to explain away what he meant when he told his nephew that he had “orchestrated” the whole thing. He told the Committee, “At that point, I didn’t know that they were breaking into the Capitol. I didn’t [know that] windows had been broken. I didn’t know anybody was in the Capitol. I answered him, that means I was on — at 2:12, I was on my way back to the hotel room.” If Epps texted that to his nephew when he was on his way back to his hotel room, then he was clearly lying to the Committee, for he was captured on video before then standing right there as the protesters knocked down the fence that was the only barrier between them and the Capitol.
Epps added under questioning, “‘Orchestrating’ is the wrong word. Okay. I don’t know what the right word is, but ‘orchestrating’ — my wife has told me over and over, You shouldn’t say things that you don’t — you know, I shouldn’t have used that word. I helped get people there.”
He sure did. The biggest indictment of the Jan. 6 Committee is that even after this testimony, Epps wasn’t indicted. He remains free while many others who did far less languish behind bars. So who was Ray Epps working for? The American people need the answer.
Walter Sieruk says
Ray Epps , an insidious deceiver ,a fake patriot, a trouble maker , a despicable deliberate inciter of mayhem, a u undercover FBI operative.
BirdieCat says
But, as noted, the feckless and corrupt FBI still hasn’t arrested him, which tells you all you want to know about both of them.
If someone in Congress asked FBI Director Wray about Epps, he would say “I don’t comment on ongoing investigations” when, like Hunter Biden, there is no investigation of either.
Lies, lies and more lies.
Anne says
It was so obvious that Ray Epps led the rabble rousers on Video. All this slander, investigation, time and money spent. on a lie to get rid of our Rightful President.
Walter Sieruk says
Ray Epps is either from Antifa or most probably he’s most likely an optirative of that corrupted and Red /Green alliance infiltrated FBI all played a sinister role in that horrendous and insidious set up against the all American patriots on the day of January 6, 2021 at Washington DC.
Walter Sieruk says
That insidious villain Ray Epps must be either a secret Antifa operative who infiltrated into the pro-Trump American patriots masquerading as one of them the incited violence and mayhem in order the give the real patriots a bad name. That is an old low tactic that known as a “false flag ploy.”
On the other hand, he might be a secret inside informant working for the FBI as part of a leftist despicable deceptive schemed set up against the patriots. For there haven’t been any legal charges filed or pressed against him.
For the FBI is no longer the grand all American law enforcement institution that it once had been in the past , because it had now been penetrated influenced infected and corrupted by the subversive Red/ Leftists/ Green alliance.
Steve B. says
The rest of the world is unaware that you are holding political prisoners without trial for two years, completely unaware unless they dig deeper than the main stream news.
But they will find out one day that America is doing this, when that day comes around they will be appalled and your reputation will be destroyed.
GWS says
True. But the left in America doesn’t care; they “want to see America brought down a few pegs,” Obama has said.
Tortoise Herder says
I’m guessing that the Stasi Committee is about to throw Ray Epps to the wolves, or at least look like it. Their extremely lenient treatment of him in comparison to virtually everyone else even tangentially connected with Jan 6th was always suspicious, and now it is most like that. Best case scenario for Comrade Epps is that he gets officially locked in jail or something but is let out the back with a new identity. But otherwise? Well, the Revolution has no permanent allies, only necessity.
Chief says
And permanent revolution.
Steve Chavez says
IMAGINE IF TRUMP HAD WON!!! Every building on Capitol Hill, including the White House, and cities across America would still be in FLAMES from the gasoline given to the Peaceful Protesters by members of the J6 Committee and the Democratic Party and they’d still blame Trump for their anarchy!
IF RULE OF LAW AMERICAN PATRIOTS tried to stand to their Mob Squads, then they’d be the ones arrested in Blue cities. And somehow, the ACLU would sue to give them the Right to Protest and they’d win.
ALL THIS WOULD HAVE LED TO CIVIL WAR, A CPUSA/DEMOCRAT GOAL… “BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER!”
David Ray says
The fact that people in many cities felt the need to board-up & protect their small businesses before the election, then felt they could take the plywood down only AFTER Trump lost the election, proves your point. (The “black owned” signs were a nice touch.)
Me?
I have lots of ammo, so if some marauding democrats get an urge to burn my house down, or pull me out of my vehicle . . . I’ll be able to convince ’em otherwise.
rocco barbella says
Unfortunately, every government agency is corrupt to the core, including over 90% of politicians. Biden, who’s been in politics for almost 50 yrs, is about as corrupt as you can get. Yet, this scumbag is the president of the US.
It’s obvious Epps was used by, most likely, the FBI and/or Democrat politicians. If not, he would have been arrested. It’s blatantly obvious.
You have Trump calling for peaceful protests and reminding everyone we are on the side of law and order. Trump also suggested having the National Guard at the protest, but Pelosi turned it down.
The entire “insurrection” was a charade to punish Trump and his supporters, and Epps was one of the useful idiots to assist.
Sword of the Spirit says
Just now figuring that out. Think we’ve known that from the beginning……
rocco barbella says
“Just now figuring that out.”
Is that a question? Or, are you just figuring that out now?
“Think we’ve known that from the beginning……”
Who’s “we’ve”? Half the population doesn’t know the facts.
GWS says
Why attack your own teammates?
Kasandra says
He’s on film directing the removal of the sign saying “Restricted Area” on the west side of the capital on January 6 BEFORE Trump’s speech had ended and BEFORE the protesters got there. You can view it on Revolver New’s website. That’s more than most of those still languishing in jail did. Plus, my (horrible) Congresscritter Jamie Raskin has complained that the right is harassing and picking on the completely innocent Ray Epps and must leave him alone. This alone, is proof positive that Epps was eyebrow-deep in working for the government, DNC, or someone else to assure a riot occurred that would subsequently be used to repress opposition to in incoming regime.
RAM says
Leading up to the Jan 6 rally, I saw suspicious comments on some conservative blogsites that seemed to be placed there by provocateurs. All this “we ride at midnight” bluster I hope none of their readers were taken in.
Trump’s inability to adequately plan and manage left the door wide open to manipulation of the rally by hostile forces. As soon as his requests for National Guard assistance and a strong Capitol Police presence were blown off by Pelosi and the DC Mayor, Trump should have cancelled the whole thing, or at least downsized or moved it. His own key people were too few to control the big event.
Kurt Koenign says
The whole thing was a setup by Peloisi ,the FBI and other agencies weaponized against the
Citizens of the US.
If the current GOP wusses don’t clean house and put the REAL criminals in jail in the
next 2 yrs we will have to re-elect Trump to drain the swamp
Chief says
Drain the swamp!? Lol! Trump never did a thing to drain the swamp. Case in point, Dr. Fauci. He appointed Bill Barr, the biggest swamp rat that ever swam up the Potomac, as his Attorney General? Trump talked all kinds of crap and people believed it! He talked about lowering deficits and increased spending. C-mon, man! That swamp will never be drained. It’s too big to be drained!
Lobo says
Looks as though you are reading the wrong recipe, and your glasses are greasy.
Christopher Riddle says
It sounds to me that Ray Epps should be charged with”Inciting A Riot”?????
Anne says
The socialist left blames everyone but themselves…thats how they get by with their crimes.
Patty says
What has been happening to those being held prisoner is appalling, disgusting and degrading. What part of ” right to a speedy trial” has been missed here? All this was staged to put a stop to the “MAGA” Trump followers. If those in government can get away with this much corruption, imagine what else they have planned? This is EXACTLY why term limits are so important. This country was not founded upon lifelong political office. We all have the opportunity to serve, but then you go back home and resume your normal occupations. Why do you think they are still trying to stop Trump from running? He isn’t one of them and therefore needs to be stopped. After all, they can’t let all their dirty little secrets get exposed. You may not like Donald Trump because of his brashness or things he says, but let’s face it, he gets us. He understands this country that we all love and is willing to go that extra mile to protect our freedoms and rights. I am sick to death of the dirty radicals still sitting in our own government, which starts at the top.
Mo de Profit says
There should be term limits for every single government official.
Lightbringer says
Cincinnatus returned to his plow and Washington to his farm as well, both after a relatively brief tenure as Commander in Chief. When and how did we stop emulating these great men of the past and come up with a Joe Biden who served nearly half a century in the Senate and whose only notable accomplishment there was his race-bating of Clarence Thomas? Perhaps it began with the author of the administrative state, Woodrow Wilson, who also had no accomplishments to speak of, only credentials, before being pushed ahead to the presidency by a gaggle of bureaucrats and bankers.
Michin David says
Ray Epps is the true “insurrectionist.”
What then is our FBI?
glpage says
The Democrat party’s Stasi.
Warm Pablum says
I think I first heard the name Ray Epps on January 8, 2020. When the prosecution slow walks an investigation to this level it is sure sign that the prosecution has no case but need to put bodies in jail to produce the results they desire.
Mo de Profit says
Prison without trial for trespassing yet murdering rioters and drug traffickers get free parole.
Sounds like a banana republic to me.
RickyTickySavvy says
“Move along folks, nothing to see here!”
Stephen Triesch says
One other huge question: if federal law enforcement believed that an “insurrection” was in progress, and that members of Congress were in grave danger, why did Capitol police open the doors and allow hundreds of protesters into the Rotunda? Were those police defying orders, or following them? And who issued the orders? At the very least, there seems to have been a failure in the chain of command, with different groups of officers working at cross purposes with one another.
Andrew Blackadder says
The FBI.. aka The KGB… has identified people who were at the Capital on J6 by the image of the back of their heads, found them in their homes across America, arrested them and threw them in Jail and yet we see this rather large man full face visual, taking and directing people INTO the Capital but he is not arrested whatsoever..
Come On man…
Danny says
If Ray Epps is not now in prison, no one whom the fake Jan6 Commission condemn for insurrection should either.
All the Jan6 Committee lying clowns should be the ones in prison for creating a narrative they knew to be false!
GOP should go after them for the lying frauds they are.
