Why Is Everyone Protecting Ray Epps?

 Carlson is "Obsessed with me," Epps told reporter Bill Whitaker, who repeatedly used the term "Conspiracy theory" to describe claims Epps' acted as a federal agent during the Capitol protest.

Former Representative Liz Cheney, who was vice chairman of the January 6 select committee, publicly condemned "Conspiracy theories about the role that [Epps] was playing that day." Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, also formerly a member of the committee, routinely covered for Epps, even insisting Epps "Broke no laws," when he clearly did.

Calling Epps a "Pebble" in a "Mountain range of evidence" about the breach of the Capitol, Joscelyn mocked the notion Epps acted on behalf of a government agency.

The conspiracists, Joscelyn said, have to "Come up with some connective tissue between Ray Epps and the FBI and they've got none."

Ironically, on the same day Carlson planned to once again raise questions about Epps' suspicious involvement in the events of January 6, a prosecutor had to confront the Epps issue during closing arguments in the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Conor Mulroe told the jury on April 24 that any intimation Epps acted on behalf of the government was a "Fantasy." Epps made several cameo appearances throughout the nearly four-month trial in the Justice Department's most important January 6 case to date, appearing in a video disclosed by the government in a last-minute dirty trick to smear Zachary Rehl, one of four men convicted of seditious conspiracy.

"Epps has never been indicted or arrested for his activities on January 5 and 6. This is despite the fact that Epps is the only Jan. 6 demonstrator who publicly urged protestors on video to enter the Capitol on Jan. 6. Epps played a direct role in instigating the first breach on the west side. Ray Epps is seen on video recordings all over the West plaza and grounds of the U.S. Capitol and often within a short distance from Dominic Pezzola on Jan. 6."
