Either Ray Epps is an informant or agent for the FBI, or the FBI is even more inept than we already know. These are the only conclusions possible after videos resurfaced of Epps participating in actions that have put others in jail following the mostly peaceful protests at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021.
Here’s a thread by Twitter user Stephen Horn on both Twitter and Telegram that shows everything:
As @FreeStateWill reported on Twitter in December, Ray Epps was one of the members of the crowd who helped lift up a large Trump sign and push it into the line of police officers on the West Side of the Capitol around 1:40 pm (original video by Just Another Channel and @sav_says)
At least three others who participated in lifting the sign have been charged with felony assault with a dangerous weapon for this act (18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1), and (b)): Marshall Neefe, Sean Michael McHugh, and Thomas Hamner
