Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to comment on video clips played for him during a House hearing last week by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., showing a man the congressman suspected was an informant planted by the FBI to urge Trump supporters to breach the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The FBI stealthily removed Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, one day after Revolver reported the FBI's protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes.
At least rank-and-file FBI investigators were interested in Epps, and two days after Jan. 6, his face was on the FBI Capitol Violence Most Wanted List.
On July 1, "Someone at the FBI quietly and stealthily purged every trace of Ray Epps from the Capitol Riots Most Wanted database."
On June 17, a viral Twitter thread featured video of Epps on Jan. 5 being booed and shouted down by Trump supporters as a suspected federal agent as he urged them to go into the Capitol the next day.
The videos showed Epps coordinating with others, including a still-unindicted, still FBI Most Wanted ex-Marine commando nicknamed "MaroonPB," who is seen antagonizing police officers with a bullhorn.
Also on June 30, one day before Epps disappeared from the FBI Most Wanted list, Revolver published a report showing the extraordinary federal protection given to the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers militia, Stewart Rhodes.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
