BREAKING UPDATE: Ray Epps' lawsuit against Fox News reveals he's being criminally charged by DOJ, 2.5 years after Jan 6 riot

[Lastamender]

Epps will get probation for anything he is found guilty of. Who knows maybe Biden will pardon him.

 

[Skylar]

Then those that did should be sued as well because he didn't do any such thing. Epps did.

Did you Email Trump yet with your legal theories? I'm sure he'll embrace your theories. You've clearly got a better understanding of the law that the lawyers that Fox News hired.

Or none at all.

Epps will get probation for anything he is found guilty of. Who knows maybe Biden will pardon him.

Pardoning the attackers of J6 is Trump's thing.

If Ray Epps dindo nuffin, how did he get to number 16 on he FBI's most wanted list? More to the point, how did he get off that list without being arrested or charged with anything? Does the FBI frequenly put innocent men on the most wanted list?

If Ray Epps' case is closed, why is the FBI unable to answer questions about him? That perpetual "ongoing investigation" excuse doesn't apply.

Who said that he was 16 on the FBI's most wanted list?

 

[Skylar]

Yeah, I know you loons don't want to deal with the actual truth.

Laughing......if you've got the Truth, tell Trump. He's the one you're imagining legal advice for.

Not us.

It wasn't the "most wanted" list. I mispoke based on FBI testimony before congress.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation “can’t say” who Ray Epps is, and the Justice Department won’t share any information on why he was removed from a list of potential suspects in the US Capitol riot.

The two agencies’ responses to the curious case of their former person of interest, identified in photo No 16 in an FBI list of people whom the feds wanted to identify, provided more fodder for speculation after the select committee investigating the January 6 riot outright denied he was a federal agent or informant.

“Mr Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th or 6th or at any other time, and that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency,” a select committee spokesperson said.

The statement came after the FBI and Justice Department leadership refused to confirm or deny, under oath, whether Mr Epps was working with federal authorities or whether they knew why he hasn’t been charged in connection to the violence.

I don't have to tell Trump he already knows the truth. He didn't incite anyone to go into the Capitol, Epps did that.

Well this certainly is a development. Ray Epps is being criminally charged by the DOJ. Apparently the FBI doesn't want to blow his cover.

""Finally, in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021—two-and-a-half years later. The relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges" the complaint reads.

The complaint continues, blaming Fox News for the criminal charges: "... it is difficult to believe that the Department of Justice would have pursued this matter if Fox had not focused its lies on Epps, ultimately the criminal charges conclusively demonstrate the falsehood of the story that Mr. Carlson and Fox told about Epps."

MAGATS eating their own.
Who is surprised?

 

[rightwinger]

High drama. Tell us again how they do that. Did you ever tell us how they do it?

Thanks for asking
How do Conservatives attack our Democracy?

They spread lies to cause mistrust in free elections
They try to illegitimize a free press
They try to overturn a legal election through violence
They try to steal an election with fake electors
They suppress the vote

Your source answers your own question about why Ray was on the 'not the FBI most wanted' list and then wasn't.

What are the charges listed in the indictment?

They shine light on election fraud
They shine the light of truth on the left biased MSM
They point out that the election was illegal
There is no such thing as 'fake electors.'
They ensure illegals are not voting.

They aren't cops, they are the right hand of the democrat party.

Wrong.
They are cops that you just happen to disagree with.
It is not the fault of cops OR Democrats that they represent law and order and justice and Repubs represent corruption.

 

[Skylar]

What are the charges listed in the indictment?

There is no indictment.

 

[Arlette]

There is no indictment.

So the whole thread is bullshit?

 

[Skylar]

So the whole thread is bullshit?

Epps said he's been informed by the DOJ in May that he will be criminally indicted.

As of today, there's no such indictment. Nor any indication of possible charges.

The DOJ may have some evidence we don't. As based on the evidence we do have, Epps doesn't appear to have any criminal liability.

Trump, Biden, and Pence have classified information. Only one gets indicted, there you go.

We love the country, but hate what the democrats are doing to America.

No YOU HATE AMERICA.....YOU LOVE ONE MAN.

What charge with Trump charged with that you believe Biden or Pence should be charged with?

Specifically.

Trump before party. Party before country. Its the conservative way.
