WASHINGTON — An Arizona man who became the target of online conspiracy theories after he joined protesters outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, told a House committee that he wasn't secretly working for the government during the attack and that the campaign against him has torn his life apart.
Ray Epps told the Jan. 6 committee that the theory that he was working for the FBI never made much sense, given that his ’ image landed on an FBI poster immediately after the attack. He wasn't working for the CIA or the National Security Agency or the Washington Metropolitan Police Department, he said.
“The only time I’ve been involved with the government was when I was a Marine in the United States Marine Corps," Epps said.
Epps, who was a supporter of former President Donald Trump, said in the interview released Thursday that his grandchildren were being "picked on at school" because of his actions. He has gotten death threats. His business dropped. People have shown up at his house.
"We had a tour bus come by our home and our business with all these whacked out people in it," Epps said. "There are good people out there that was in Washington. Those aren't the people that's coming by our house. This attracts — when they do this sort of thing, this attracts all the crazies out there."
Epps was seen on video telling other Trump supporters the night before the attack that they needed to go into the Capitol. Epps told the committee that he was under the impression that the building, which was closed to the general public because of Covid restrictions, would be open.

The understatement of the decade
The ‘offenses’ of citizens are all truly trivial and inconsequential in the face of actions of a brutal imperial government drunk on the poison of power. You live in the capital of a nation ruled by an emperor, very appropriate. Stay out of the US, you are surely no American
How do you say “Cover up” for the whole Epps action?
Continuing the false flag narrative, they are.

There was active sweeping involved here.
The rug covering the sweepings was a botched afterthought.
Yeah right. He is a Trump supporter, like those chump seminar callers, that used to say, “Rush, I am a registered Republican, but…………..Is he that kind of a Trump supporter?
They have had their show trial and made bold statements about Trump which will now probably just die because very few people outside the political establishment see the situation in the same light, so what have they accomplished? They have ended the political career of Liz Cheney until she perhaps pops up as a candidate some place a long way from Wyoming.
Other than that, they have just beclowned themselves. Every single one of these virulent anti-Trump people looks perfect with a big red bulbous nose and a funny looking hat.
Why isn’t Epps rotting away in a federal prison like so many other Jan 6ers,charged with conspiracy to commit sedition?
Simple really. He was one of the FBIs agent provocateurs not denied by Wray in a Congressional hearing.
Jan 6th was an entirely DNC created false flag grift on America, organized and set up to entrap President Trump. It failed.
If they release Epps, the whole false flag house of cards comes tumbling down. SO they must release everybody now detained without bail.
WHAT? Ray Epps was never pro-Trump. He was working for the anti-Trump Deep State to create a false flag incident that would be blamed on Trump.
.
He’s a bad actor, and bad at acting.
.
.
He’s a hero just like Vindman.
The same people protected him and see that he gets cash.
.

How did you become “unwanted” Ray?
While Mothers that took pictures have gone to jail.

Amazing, 5th Jan Epps says,”You need to go in there, the capitol building”. Then on Jan 6 Epps is on a toward urging people forward, telling a young man how to breech the barrier. Then he sees people getting into the Capitol Building and he gets upset and loses his nerve? Notice Epps never actually tries to breach a barrier, just in courage’s others. Epps gets zero time in jail while those he encouraged rot in jail. Pure BS
NBC “News” would report anything, as is, that the leftists who run the government tell them is the daily feed. Unquestioning, no real investigation of any type, passing on the lying drivel the leftists feed them. Andrea Mitchell has been just like this for years, a puppet or marionette whose spoken words and “analysis” are provided by others with a far left agenda.
This is further confirmation that this guy was a government instigator. Otherwise, why the narrative of supposed “testimony” coming out now?
If that wasn’t horse hockey, they would have released the transcript like they promised.
It’s a blatant lie, it’s propaganda. Further, it’s propaganda probably supported with tax dollars.
Like those protesters and non that are sitting in jail cells where you should be
Re: 17 - what’s telling in all that happened on 01/06 is that NOT ONE person that went into the Capital buildings has yet produced any video or audio of them asking the LEO at the doors if it was okay to enter. Not one.
You know if that video had been taken and an LEO had stated it was legal to enter it would be blasted everywhere. But crickets. Which means either 1) no one had the common sense to ask that question or 2) someone asked that question and was told it was not legal.
The Committee let this guy walk in exchange for his testimony.
While the FBI has zero interest in the pipe bomb planter. What a complete fraud on the honest American population. Many in Law enforcement should be sent to prison. Odds of that happening very slim.
