Here, let me help you out.Inciting people into breaching armed police barricades doesn't quite fit the peacefully narrative.
Oh there's other possible explanations.....like maybe FBI had a reason not to go after Epps.
And, as I've said all along, this issue needs further investigation.
Epps said that they needed to go into the Capitol peacefully. He said this the night before the riot. He had no idea what they were going to encounter on Jan 6. He didn’t know the extent of the police barricades and security measures that would be present. Maybe he thought they would be able to just march in if they were numerous enough. Maybe he was hoping that police security would stand down and let them in. We don’t know. All we do know is that he specified that they needed to be peaceful in getting in.
Inciting a riot requires one to incite violence. If he had said something like “We need to attack those police officers” that would fit the crime. If he simply said “We need to go into the Capitol”, that would not since there is absolutely no indication of violence indicated. As I just laid out, there are ways that he could have intended for them to go in. Whether they’re realistic or not is irrelevant. You’re trying to focus on his intent, which you cannot prove. You can’t conclude that he meant violence when he said they needed to go in. Additionally, the “peacefully” removes all doubt that he did not incite violence. You have nothing.
See how easy that is? Not only do you have nothing on that claim. You have nothing on his connection to the FBI. Absolutely nothing.
You can whine all you like about this needing to be investigated further. There’s a very obvious explanation here - the guy encouraging peaceful protest isn’t guilty of inciting violence. It’s obvious. No conspiracy theory required.
