Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?
AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.
After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.
Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes.
July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.
Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.
Revolver News reports in June seem to have hastened the “disappearance” of Epps from the list in July.
Then, The New York Times assisted the FBI with a cover piece about Epps “acting on his own.” The NYT, ostensibly looking for a widespread insurrection conspiracy among crazy, Trump-supporting, white supremacists, was ready with a sure-fire answer: Yeah, sure, but not that guy.
Furthermore, Epps was the head of the Arizona chapter of the Oathkeepers and was a personal friend of another apparent federal asset, Stewart Rhodes, the head of the group.
You should know that when FBI agents infiltrate a group — for example, the Gretchen Whitmer caper — that they must somehow convey to the hapless followers that doing what the instigators, the feds in this case, suggest is illegal. This is so the federal government can prove that wrongdoers knew that what they were doing was against the law.
January 6, after all, was scheduled as a Trump rally. In the 323 rallies before Trump took office, and the 168 rallies thereafter, there had never been a single instance of rioting or pre-planned illegal activity.
Lawbreaking was 0 for 491 at Trump rallies before January 6.
Perhaps this extraordinarily track record of physical restraint explains why Epps’s arrest-bait proposal stood out like a sore thumb, and why he was quickly shouted down
