Revolver News investigative series on Jan 6
This is the latest article:A fascinating investigative deep-dive on a man named Ray Epps (and others), a leading figure among those who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6. What's most fascinating of all is that Epps does not seem to have been arrested or charged, indeed his photos were mysteriously disappeared from the "wanted" section of the FBI website seeking those involved in the events, right after another Revolver News investigative piece came out earlier this year. Like Oathkeepers leader Stewart Rhodes, Epps has apparently evaded prosecution, despite playing a leading role in events. This fact has led to suspicion that Rhodes, Epps, and other major players like John Sullivan (who was arrested but quickly released) may indeed have been working for the FBI, provoking and encouraging and facilitating the events of that day.
And if that indeed was the case, then it could be a direct follow-on from the 'Michigan Kidnapping Plot' which came to the fore of the news shortly before the election last year. Subsequently we found out via court filings that over HALF of the individuals involved in this plot were working for the FBI, which begs the question were they informing or were they FORMING the plot, for political purposes and to garner headlines/influence public opinion ahead of an election. This is what Buzzfeed News had to say about that case:
"An examination of the case by BuzzFeed News also reveals that some of those informants, acting under the direction of the FBI, played a far larger role than has previously been reported. Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them."
Also of much interest is that the head of the FBI Michigan field office who was in charge of investigating that 'plot' was shortly thereafter promoted to lead the Washington D.C. field office ahead of January 6. Coincidence? Or conspiracy?

You just jump on here with 'MY STORY IS GONNA BE BIGGER THAN YOUR STORY'
soooooooooooooooo spill the beans raph .. orrrrrrrrrrrrr go back to your nap.
The video in the article doesnt play the response to his agitations to go into the capital? Others were saying no to him while others chanted Fed Fed Fed
He acted as the Judas-Goat,and acted the part well!

Perhaps that bit was cut off from the video cited later because of lip-reading potential. That's hw I'd cnfirm what they were really saying.
Somebody in the twitter video is heard saying, "I can't see that" when Massie was holding up the wee screen. This Fed chant isn't being made clear, but being implied, rightly, or wrongly.
I didn't see anything in this article that was definitve. Maybe people shouted Fed, Red, or something else; maybe Epps is a federal agent, has made a deal with law enforcement where he co-operates in exchange for information (his desire for people not to get hurt would be easy to manipulate), or something else.
The whole article is lead by implication, not evidence. Why make the point of being able to find out everything about Epps through social media including his plumber, if not to imply the journalists are in the know, even though they present no actual evidence that this old timer is a federal agent?
His age would be another thing that would be easy to manipulate. A twenty, or even ten year sentence, would mean he'd likely die in prison.
I must be going bonkers for sure. I recall you told me that you can not hear anything.
Body language and shaking heads reinforce I am, hearing Red not Fed and a clear No in this subtitled video
One person pleaded guilty and the trial for the other 5 has been postponed.
The defense is TRYING to argue for entrapment.
Regardless, the inclusion of FBI agents led to the plot not becoming a reality.
The plot was foiled, not led.
Some things I can't hear at all, like that time you put up a music video and I couldn't hear Stewart Copeland drumming. I could hear lots of other musicians and I could see Copeland was drumming, but I have some frequencies missing, some partially missing, some okay.
Having seen the video you just put up, I agree now I can lipread, it does look like the man at the front is accusing Epps by shouting 'Fed' and pointing at him. It seems some cheering might have been for Epps' suggestion they enter the Capitol, and some for the 'Fed' accuser.
What does that prove? Where is the evidence that Epps is indeed a 'Fed'?
Could the 'Fed' accuser have been paranoid about being deliberately incited by the FBI, but incorrect?
Could the accuser have been sharp-witted enough to try and diffuse the call for storming the Capitol?
Could he have been a 'Fed' planted to discourage/psycholgically intimidate in the interests of diffusing a looming insurrection?
Bet he thinks that J.Edgar Hoover was the Epitome of Virtue!

Morning professor.
Evidence is what escapes congress trying to get info from the head of the FBI at several recent hearings.
If i had to choose among your three possibilities I would go with the sharp-witted idea.
Sure, here is a video of congressman trying to obtain info from u.s. attorney general on the people video recorded participating in the insurrection in wash d,c,
Part of the audio in this discussion is poor quality.
Check out manslaughter in the Penal Code.
Strange that is always begins and ends with Ray Epps,and AG Garland keeps absolutely mum about that Individual,while Raph here is raving like a Lunatic about Dictators and Qs.
@ conrad… i have been wondering about what he is going on about
Garland might be another Muller,totally out of it!
How about the murder of the policemen?
Yeah, and Fester is unhinged. But that's our lovable, bug-eyed Fester.
No Policeofficers were murdered,neither was there a plot to assassinate VP Pence!
Police,however assassinated an unarmed Veteran,and beat another woman to death!
@Raph your post can stay up. I want people to see who you are, and you openly admit to trying to get people banned (I believe this is a violation of CS rules, is it not?)
Secret Service investigating death threats against Pence by Lin Wood
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating death threats against Vice President Mike Pence made by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, Fox News has learned.
Wood, who was banned from Twitter last week, is suspected of writing a now-deleted post on Parler: "Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST."
Disturbing.
Why are Pelosi & Democrats so desperate to keep records hidden that might shine a light on what part Pelosi played in the decision not to provide additional security personnel to the Capitol Police ahead of January 6th?
