    Did he encourage people to force their way into the Capitol for the purpose of interfering with official government processes? What's your definition of sedition?

    Yeah, I don't know what these 1000 people have been charged with. It was @Patricio Da Silva who cited them. Do you know anything about the charges?

    So you're not saying that they have been held without charges, just that they have been held without felony charges or something?

    So, you can contrive no evidence to prop up Tucky's fake "Legend of Ray Epps, the Man Who Can Control Weak Minds."

    Don't feel inadequate.

    No one can.

    In which post did I support Tucker's characterisation of Epps? I don't even know what it is that you think this characterisation of Tucker's is. Did Tucker even say that Epps is a fed?

    The matter is being litigated. Tucky's lies concerning Dominion have already cost Fox $787 million, and Smartmatic could be awarded even more.

    ... Tucker Carlson, in numerous episodes, pushed the theory that Epps was a secret government agent tasked with inciting Jan. 6, 2021, protesters at the U.S. Capitol as a way of discrediting Donald Trump and his MAGA minions

    The backlash from those reports was so severe and threatening that Epps and his wife, Robyn, fled the state, leaving their Queen Creek home and the Western-themed wedding venue they operated.

    The lawsuit says Fox told “a fantastical story in which Ray Epps – who was a Trump supporter that participated in the protests on January 6th – was an undercover FBI agent and was responsible for the mob that violently broke into the Capitol and interfered with the peaceful transition of power for the first time in this country’s history.”

    The media entertainer cost Fox $787 million, and the cost of his spewing his baseless attacks is likely to rise considerably.

    Rupert must wish they had dumped him much sooner,

    Ray Epps is a Fed Plant sent to whip the protesters up and urge them to commit crimes. That's why Pelosi refused the National Guard that Trump offered, to keep order.

    If Conservatives want to protest, they need to consider the jury pool that will hear their cases, and a D+95 DC Jury is not a good choice.

    The FBI Loses the Public

    Some Dems keep claiming that they have experienced, and will experience, no accountability for their lawlessness and election rigging, but, it's now common knowledge that:
    • Bidens are thoroughly corrupt and bribed
    • That the FBI cannot be trusted, and that,
    • The Lying Fake News Media, and Social Media are collaborators in their assault on American Constitutional Liberal Democracy.
    'poll shows only 37% support for the bureau.'

    'An NBC poll released a few weeks ago reported that the public’s positive view of the FBI is 37%. In late 2018, it was 52%. '

    Why would anyone post such nonsense?

    No one has contrived any credible evidence to prop up Tucky's fake "Legend of Ray Epps, the Man Who Can Control Weak Minds" - not Tucky, not the most paranoid deniers of Trump's goon attack on Congress, not the most rabid Republicans in Congress, and not Fox 'News' that may well be payng the price for another lie:

    Meanwhile, in the realm of reality, Mr Epps is suing Fox News for Tucky's airing lies about him, and even the most rabid Trump worshipers are unable to contrive any actual evidence against Epps to make the lie even remotely credible.

    Of course, your article of blind faith does not require credibility.

    Why is any of this a reason for why you believe this random right-wing Jan 6er?

    I have made no claims about Epps. You have, which is that he is a fine, upstanding, law abiding citizen who should be believed! :roflol:

    Mr Epps should not be demonized because he was a Trump toady who attempted to prevent Trump toadies for savaging outnumbered police on January 6, 2021.

    Surely, you grasp that.

    There are 2 reasons
    1) his first name isn't Donald
    2) his last name isn't Trump

    Nothing prosecutable, obviously.

    Trumphumps destroying the life of a Trumphump who tried to persuade other Trumphumps not to savage outnumbered police is nutty.

    ... After failing to pin the Capitol riot on Antifa, right-wing media outlets refocused their efforts to reshape their narrative around Mr Epps. According to the New York Times, obscure right-wing outlets like Revolver Media began reporting on selectively-edited videos of Mr Epps during the Capitol riot, and later capitalised on the footage from 5 January in which he called for people to enter the Capitol.

    He tells ... Ryan Samsel, to relax and reminds him that the Capitol police were doing their jobs. According to the Times, Mr Samsel was questioned by the FBI and fully corroborated Mr Epps' version of events.

    Screen Shot 2022-06-21 at 5.42.26 PM.png
    “He came up to me and he said, ‘Dude’ — his entire words were, ‘Relax, the cops are doing their job,’” Mr Samsel told investigators.
    Further, Mr Epps was able to prove that he had left the Capitol before the violence began in earnest. A protester who had fallen ill required help away from the chaos, and Mr Epps volunteered to help lead them out.
