[ZERO] Ray Epps, the uncharged man identified as a key instigator behind the January 6, 2020 Capitol Breach for telling people to storm the Capitol, said in a text message to his nephew that he "orchestrated" things, according to newly released witness transcripts from the January 6th Committee.| Goodness. How very interesting. |
But the night before, Epps was seen going around to various groups of Trump supporters, telling them they need to storm the capitol.
In two interviews with the FBI in 2021, Epps explained his actions on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6. He admitted he was guilty of trespassing on restricted Capitol grounds and confessed to urging protesters to go to—and into—the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Epps also told members of the Committee that he found himself playing peacekeeper between Trump supporter "Baked Alaska" and the police - who called Epps a Fed.
| Whyever would the police think such a thing if, as he claims now, he was no such thing? |
| And what position might that be, Mr. Epps? |
Epps, 61, has repeatedly denied those suggestions through his attorney.
| What about the Pinkertons — do they still do that kind of work? There was Matthew Dolloff, the Antifa activist who shot a Navy veteran dead back in 2020 at a Blue Lives Matter protest while on the Pinkerton payroll guarding a television news team, but he was not encouraging misbehaviour. It was commented here that Mr. Epps was communicating directly with Nancy Pelosi’s office at the time, which suggests he had some sort of official cover. |
