In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep.
Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious
man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building
on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on
January 6.
There is good reason why AG Garland
ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he
couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.
After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can
now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators
of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm
on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed
the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and
his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still
remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast
majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.
Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the
the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most
Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the
inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and
Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after
separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie
about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.
Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals
— many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the
police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA
protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and
place themselves in legal jeopardy.
Corroborating Ray Epps’s Identity
Identifying the individual in Thomas Massie’s video as Ray Epps was a surprisingly quick and easy task for the Internet.
CHECK OUT THE NEWS FEED—FOLLOW US ON GAB—FOLLOW US ON GETTRThe story of the mystery man, Ray
Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking
than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so
strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter
the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet
another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called
“insurrection” of January 6th.
If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive
role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases
against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows
suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate
degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.
Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.
Rep. Massie: As far as we can
determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail,
he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the
next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is
then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can
find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you
seen that video, or those frames from that video?
AG Garland: So as I said at the
outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on
pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular
scenes or particular individuals.
Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to
give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have
that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government
present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking
about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or
assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they
agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?
AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.
[Looks down and away]
I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.
There is good reason why AG Garland
ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he
couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.
