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

Why do you hate cops?

They aren't cops, they are the right hand of the democrat party.

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."

What charge?

 

[DudleySmith]

Just another pony Show, hoping idiots will beleive they're being 'fair and balanced n stuff'. He will either be acquitted, or a sacrifice, all after the elections are over first, of course. Not that I mind them eating thier own; it's quite funny actually, seeing the sociopaths who sucked up to that criminal syndicate getting shafted by their bosses.

So I’m really confused. Epps did commit criminal acts and has been charged but Fox is being sued for bringing it to light?
Get me straight on this because that makes zero sense.

 

[jknowgood]

I agree
They should have realized Republicans had no respect for our Democracy and were capable of violence.

What were they thinking?

They didn't learn very well from your guys from the summer of love. The Capitol is still there.

You are confused. Epps hasn't been charged with any crime. And he's sueing Fox News for the absurd conspiracies they promoted about him.

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.

Tucker’s Fox program was op ed. Besides the MSM has been telling lies about Trump for years.

I can’t imagine how Capitol Police did not realized that Republicans hate this country and want to destroy our democracy.
Republicans, by their very nature are violent and have no respect for this great country.

Tucker’s Fox program was op ed. Besides the MSM has been telling lies about Trump for years.

And yet Fox settled for 3/4 of a billion dollars with Dominion.

Ray hired the same lawyer. Good luck with the 'op-ed' schtick.

Remember....whenever a conservative talks about 'civil war', what they actually mean is killing cops. Blowing up federal buildings. Generic domestic terrorism.

Republicans want to break up the union and terminate the Constitution

So what? Carlson’s show was op ed, Murdoch is a lefty anyway. Fox is suffering for throwing Tucker under the bus.

Op-Ed claiming someone instigated a riot is still Libel

So if "Tucker’s Fox program was op ed." were a viable defense for defamation, it would have been a viable defense for defamation.

It wasn't. To the tune of over $750,000,000

Ignore as you will. It didn't matter in the dominion case and it won't matter with Ray either.

 

[WEATHER53]

So the thread title is incorrect and Epps is not being charged ?

That and bombings and “Second Amendment Remedies”

How so? Seems to me you loons are trying to do away with the first and second amendment.

Then most of the Democrat party and the MSM should be sued for libeling Trump by saying he instigated a riot.
