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

[JGalt]

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."

If anyone should have been charged on day one, it would have to be Epps. So it appears that the FBI is throwing him under the bus to save face and make it appear that justice is their number one goal in life. Too late, in my opinion.

Unless the FBI is trying to put down the narrative that Epps is an agent. In which case he gets a slap on the wrist, like Hunter Biden. They could be doing that to bolster his case against FOX News. This DOJ is up to some serious fuckery.

The DOJ is a sick joke.....Another department that needs complete dismemberment and scattered to the four corners of the country.

 

[blackhawk]

Yeah the DOJ was trembling in their boots over Tucker Carlson.

~~~~~~
Or, Epps makes a deal and tries to save himself and spits it all out.
The question is, will Epps have the good fortune of Hunter Biden, or not?
Then again, I'm a little suspicious. If Epps has been working with the FBI, this could be a collusive lawsuit which they will drag out resolving, and which will end (after the Fox lawsuit) with a dismissal or a slap on the wrist. Serves his interest. It serves in the FBI’s interest.

So, will Epps be held without bail in the DC gulag?

So, will Epps be held without bail in the DC gulag?

For three years, hopefully.

Like that's ever gonna happen.

Ray Epps sues Fox News for Capitol riot conspiracy claim

The legal action says the channel told a "fantastical story" to turn Ray Epps into a "scapegoat".

www.bbc.co.uk

A former US Marine who became the focus of right-wing conspiracies surrounding the Capitol riot is suing Fox News for defamation.

The legal action accuses Fox of telling a "fantastical story" suggesting Ray Epps was a federal agent to make him a "scapegoat" for the raid on Congress.

Media outlets have a duty to tell the truth. That can be a huge problem for Murdoch outlets who cant even spell truth.

There are no good guys here so I hope it gives us some entertainment.

 

[DGS49]

Tucker Carlson (or anyone else at Fox) never DEFAMED Epps. They merely showed videos and pictures of his activities on January 5th, and asked, "With all these other fukkers being arrested and detained for standing around not harming anyone or anything, why is it that THIS GUY is still walking free?"

That is not defamation.

WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC & all the other Mockingbirds would be closed for good if that were true

I thought it wasn't real

 

[easyt65]

Too little too.late.

The J6 'Masterminds' have come to realize too late that arresting everyone at the Capitol on J6 EXCEPT their obvious plant was dumb as hell...so, for show, they might have to arrest him.

If they do, you can bet he won't be in DC Gitmo with the Americans he helped set up, & he won't be in jail long.

As far as Fox goes, those pointing out his obvious involvement goes far beyond Fox News. He's going after Fox because the people he works for has shown their willingness to go after them monetarily to silence them.

No development at all. He’s just another trumphumper that got caught.

Everything you just said has been debunked.

Epps is as famous as the 'Shahman' for J6 ... so why has it taken so long to arrest him, genius?

 

[rightwinger]

Fox endangered his life by spreading lies


They should be responsible
