Oh, the web we weave when first we practice to deceive... So, maybe a few of the "at least 40 undercover informants" became a little overzealous and decided to help agitate things along. Makes their contribution to their employers all the more valuable.

So what they could ahve been anyone of the people of claim was just there "like tourists"


Do you have any proof they incited the mob or forced anyone to commit violence against police officers? Stole things or defecated and urinated in the building?

You really love pointing the finger at anyone rather than accepting responsibility.

The whole thing was a democrat planned sham from beginning to end.
The one who really belongs in jail is Nancy Pelosi.

the poor dad
Ray Epps sentenced today. A pitiful 1 year probation and 100 hours of community service. And he didn't even appear in court for the sentencing - was allowed to phone it in! Biden's DOJ has really screwed over America.

Judge dismisses Ray Epps defamation lawsuit against Fox News​



Epps, who some conservatives had speculated was an undercover FBI agent sent by the bureau to stoke the January 6 riot in 2021, filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that an indictment from the Justice Department might not have surfaced against him if it wasn't for Fox's coverage.

The January 6 defendant also argued that Fox News and former host Tucker Carlson engaged in a "years-long campaign spreading falsehoods about Epps." Those falsehoods, the original complaint alleged, had destroyed the lives of Epps and his wife, per NBC News.

U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Hall on Wednesday agreed with Fox News' argument that Epps failed to "state a claim."

Fox told CNN it was "pleased" with the judge's decision, stating that the ruling, along with other rulings in recent cases against the company, were "preserving the press freedoms of the First Amendment."

Epps was sentenced in January to one-year probation for his participation in the riot, after pleading guilty to a single charge of engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

The FBI has denied any ties to Epps, stating that he has never been an asset of the bureau.

You might have missed it, but Ray Epps’ lawsuit against Tucker went down in flames​







“I think what Dominion ushered in this question of actual malice and we saw the $800 million settlement has really ripped open if you will, the opportunity for others to go at Fox News,” former Florida Republican Rep. David Jolly said during the clip.


“They better get out a really big check book because they’re gonna pay heavily,” former Democratic Maryland Rep. Donna Edwards also said.

Judge Hall, however, sided with Fox News’ lawyers and dismissed the lawsuit before it could proceed to trial.

“It is especially clear that any conclusions were only opinions, because the statements were replete with ‘cautionary language’ that signal opinion and interpretation,” Fox News’ lawyers wrote in a memorandum in support of the network’s motion to dismiss Epps’ lawsuit. “In one segment, after showing a video of Plaintiff, Mr. Carlson squarely stated: ‘Once again, you can draw whatever conclusions you like from that video. We have ours and we shared them with you’. Fox opinion hosts were clearly providing their interpretations that listeners could accept or reject based on their own assessment of the fully disclosed facts.”

“First amendment protection for such commentary is essential for our democracy,” the memorandum also stated.
