One of the most mysterious people involved with “J6” is a man named Ray Epps. Tucker Carlson has covered this extensively and many believe it may be a key factor that got him fired.

Actually, it’s received almost no coverage and was in fact DISMISSED back in November, but almost no one noticed! The story suddenly caught fire today and started to go viral: You Might Have Missed It, But Ray Epps’ Lawsuit Against Tucker Went Down In Flames https://t.co/iLdPAy5lX3 pic.twitter.com/aBGcW3tIMz — FutureTrump2⃣2⃣4⃣ (@RealTrump2020_) December 8, 2024 Tucker Carlson and Fox News completely vindicated!

Delaware Federal District Court Judge, Jennifer Hall, ruled that Carlson’s reporting on Epps was protected under the First Amendment because Epps’ lawyers did not prove Carlson had acted with “actual malice.” “For the reasons announced from the bench today, it is hereby ordered that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim is granted,” Hall, a Biden appointee, wrote. Members of the corporate media claimed that Epps would win his lawsuit against Fox News and prove Carlson had acted with “actual malice” in his reporting on the Jan. 6 defendant, according to an MSNBC discussion on the defamation case led by former Republican National Committee chairman and MSNBC political analyst Michael Steele on July 16, 2023, following news of Epps’ lawsuit. “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. “Epps and his wife have clearly been through a nightmare of threats and innuendo,” Jonathan Turley, Fox News legal commentator wrote on his personal website following the judge’s ruling. “However, this public controversy was discussed by various networks and the Jan. 6th Committee. It was also a matter of legitimate public debate and commentary, with people on both sides expressing their views on the evidence and underlying allegations.” Epps sued Fox News in July 2023 following Carlson’s comments that suggested Epps may have been a government agent after video footage surfaced showing him the night before Jan. 6, 2021, encouraging Trump supporters to go inside the Capitol the next day, leading to speculation that he may have been an FBI informant. “We’re far beyond that. In fact, tomorrow—I don’t even like to say it because I’ll be arrested—we need to go into the Capitol. We’re here to defend the Constitution,” Epps could be heard saying in the video. “I’m going to put this out there. I’m probably going to jail for it. Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol. Into the Capitol. Peacefully,” Epps added. Someone in the crowd responded by calling Epps a “fed,” the video showed. Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia James Boasberg sentenced Epps to just 12 months probation on Jan. 9, three years after Epps encouraged Trump supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. So Ray Epps gets probation while all the Trump supporters are in Prison? Ray Epps, the only person who instructed people to enter the Capitol building and encouraged others to breach barriers, got a year of probation & $500 fine, while some folks who just walked into the building got years in prison.

Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) January 9, 2024 RELATED REPORTS: Ray Epps Files LAWSUIT Against Fox News Over January 6th; Claims DOJ Will Press Charges BREAKING: Ray Epps Is SUING LEAKED: Is This What Got Tucker Fired? What else do we really know about Ray Epps? It's all very mysterious.... Who Is Ray Epps -- And Why Does It Matter? Have you heard the name Ray Epps? You may not have, given there's a complete blackout from the MSM. But Tucker broke the story wide open and now it's getting out there. Let me bring you up to speed... For all the innocent people out there being persecuted for J6, people who are just good, patriotic Americans who walked into the Capitol Building after the doors were OPENED FROM THE INSIDE... Mind you, these are doors that weigh several thousand pounds and are electronically locked... Doors that are nearly impossible outside of military-grade weapons to break into... These doors were opened from the inside and police waived normal, patriotic Americans into the Capitol Building and now many of them are facing extreme persecution that is not American and not Constitutional by any stretch of the imagination... While THESE Americans are being attacked, one man did much worse and he hasn't been touched. His name, or the name he uses at least, is Ray Epps. And video after video exists of him actually inciting people to an "insurrection"... So has Ray Epps been charged? Nope. Not as far as anyone can tell. Which of course leads many to question whether he was a Fed planted to push the narrative they wanted. Oh my... Watch this short clip as Kash and Devin Nunes break it all down on Rumble: As I mentioned above, Tucker has done an excellent job exposing this. Watch his breakdown of everything here: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1549054198855122947 Here is more video of Epps: I found another angle of Ray Epps pushing the sign into police. Not only is he still pushing as the sign makes contact with officers, but he also then puts his hands on the backs of others in front of him and pushes them forward (like in a rugby scrum) to overwhelm the police. pic.twitter.com/Kh5xSbg9c3 — ?? (@FreeStateWill) July 12, 2022 This is the most prevalent opinion out there: https://twitter.com/RLBrawler/status/1548787626118897665 And neither option is good: There’s no logical way to defend Ray Epps. If he’s a fed, then January 6 was entrapment. If he’s not, then he criminally incited the events that transpired. — Chase Geiser (@realchasegeiser) July 15, 2022 MTG is on it as well, story is NOT going away: The NYT can’t lie about Ray Epps and call it a conspiracy theory when Ray Epps is on video organizing the events of J6 that has led to the worst federal government abuse of power in American history.@nytimes this isn’t freedom of press, it’s lying. You aren’t protected to lie. https://t.co/8GfqaHYFnA — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) July 14, 2022 More questions: If Ray Epps isn't a fed, then why isn't the man, who is on video multiple times encouraging insurrection, including during the first barricade violence at the Capitol, facing no charges and not in jail? — Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) July 14, 2022 And from Wendy Rogers: I want to hear from Ray Epps… Who told him to do this? pic.twitter.com/2JQeiMDKfl — Wendy Rogers (@WendyRogersAZ) July 13, 2022 Dinesh: Ray Epps might not be a fed, in which case the question is why isn’t he facing charges? Or Ray Epps might be a fed in which case his not facing charges makes complete sense. So which is it?
