Ray Epps is now targeting Tucker Carlson
American Thinker ^ | 25 Mar, 2023 | Rajan Laad

During his expose regarding the occurrences on January 6 2021, Tucker Carlson covered the curious circumstances surrounding Rap Epps.

Epps was seen on camera inciting Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night before the Jan. 6 protests.

Carlson reported Epps sent a text to his nephew claiming he ‘orchestrated it’.

This is most certainly a suspicious claim to make at that juncture when temperatures were running very high.

Carlson also revealed that when Epps was interviewed by the January 6 House Select Committee, where he claimed that was to be proceeding back to his hotel in D.C. when he sent the text.

SNIP

So, what is Ray Epps up to now?

NBC News reports Epp’s lawyer Michael Teter sent a ease-and-desist notice to Tucker Carlson and Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar demanding a retraction and apology from Carlson relating to Epps.

In the notice, Teter wrote that the Fox News host “persists with his assault on the truth” by pushing “fanciful notions” regarding Epps’s involvement in the Capitol attack that were “demonstrably false.”

Teter demanded that Carlson and Fox News publicly retract the claim that Epps was working for the federal government during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the claim that Epps “acted as an instigator or provocateur of the insurrection.”

“We expect that you will give the same airtime in retracting these falsehoods as you spent amplifying them….

“Further, Mr. Carlson and Fox News must issue a formal on-air apology for the lies you have spread about Mr. Epps.”

Teter claimed Carlson’s coverage caused Epps and his wife to be the victims of “threats, intimidation, and harassment, resulting in significant economic and emotional damages”

No no no, Tucker’s claims “were “demonstrably false.”

There, it’s debunked. Leave Ray Epps alone.

Any bets on whether the FBI doctored the video of Epps from J6?

Tucker didn’t show Epps ‘inside’ the Capitol building but still outside at a time he had told the committee he had already left.

Ray has emphatically stated that he doesn’t work for any government agency.

Now the real truth comes out. One way or another, he works for Perkins-Coie.

‘orchestrated it’.

This is most certainly a suspicious claim

Phone records should clear things up fast.

Epps has a lot of tape time on him to prove he did orchestrate some events.

And Tucker has succeeded in luring him into the open.

Is he going to sic his FBI buddies on him? Will Tucker wake up one morning and find child porn on his computer[s]? And the Cops pounding on his door?

Except Epps is on tape urging people to breach the Capitol. Which is a crime these days. Let’s go to discovery!

The only proper response should be:

“See you in court Mr Epps. I’ll be looking forward to the discovery phase of the process.”

Yes, in a sane world. But the FOX executives making the decisions may wonder what is in their FIB file and how their decision may affect their file disclosure.

I think they protect Ray Epps because there are MULTIPLE “Ray Eppses” and if they go after HIM some of the other “Agent Provocateurs” may get really damned NERVOUS and may start squealing to save their own skins....

Was Ray Epps a government provacateur, or just a provacateur?
