Ray Epps' lawyer demands Tucker Carlson retract false claim that he was FBI agent on Jan. 6

[Seymour Flops]

Tucker Carlson, the bow-tied mouthpiece for the Republican Party, has been hit with a formal demand for an on-air apology after he falsely claimed that Ray Epps, a man who was seen on video encouraging people to enter the Capitol on January 6, was an FBI agent.

Epps' lawyer, John Pierce, sent Carlson a letter demanding that he retract his false statements and apologize to Epps. Pierce said that Carlson's claims have caused Epps to be harassed and threatened, and that they have damaged his reputation.

Carlson has not yet responded to Pierce's letter. The article also states that Epps has denied being an FBI agent, and that the FBI has said that he was not an agent.

Carlson's claims about Epps are false and defamatory. He should retract them and apologize to Epps, but he won't because he's a lying, sniveling, cowardly little worm who would rather spread lies and hate than admit when he's wrong.

If the article said that the FBI has said that he was not an agent, the article is wrong. The FBI has consistently dodged or outright refused to answer questions about whether Epps is an agent. Unless they mean “agent” in the sense of a sworn FBI law enforcement officer. He’s wasn’t that, but best explanation for his behavior, his lack of prosecution, his inclusion and unexplained dropping from the FBI’s Most Wanted List, and the FBI’s stonewalling questions about whether he was working for them is that he was working for them on Jan 5, and 6.

For what crime? Yelling in the First Degree? He didn't even enter the Capitol.

Has anyone else been arrested and charged with anything who was simply at the Capital that day but did not enter the building or commit assault? If so, then questions about Epps are not only natural, but necessary.

 

[Seymour Flops]

In a defamation case, the burden will be on Carlson to prove that Epps is an FBI agent.

He won’t have to prove that. He just has to cast doubt on Epps claim that he was not an FBI operative on Jan 5th and 6th. When the FBI refuses to answer, citing methods and sources, that will be plenty of doubt.

 

[Delldude]

I think you're right, thanks for the correction.

Jan 6 was still under oath though.

Thrown lots of softballs by Kinzinger.......LOL

 

[Delldude]

Epps may or may not have been an undercover FBI agent.

In Congress, when FBI officials were asked directly, they declined to answer.

But what if Epps was not an agent? What if he was a hired informant?

Would the FBI admit it? Would Epps?

Epps testimony before J6 he stated something like he wasn't with the FBI or any law enforcement group.
So did he possibly out himself as being with an activist group?
I remember a Project Veritas vid where some Hillary guy was bragging on how they have agitators at the ready for all types events.....all he has to do is make a call. Hillary guy was let go for flapping his jaws.

Of course they are.

Why was Epps on the Most Wanted List, if he did nothing?

He incited people to go into the Capitol whether he himself went in or not.

He won’t have to prove that. He just has to cast doubt on Epps claim that he was not an FBI operative on Jan 5th and 6th. When the FBI refuses to answer, citing methods and sources, that will be plenty of doubt.

You simply assumed that he's an FBI operative by claiming that the FBI will cite "methods and sources". If he isn't an FBI agent of course the FBI doesn't have to be so mysterious about it. They'll just say no.

Exactly. So, why haven’t they?

Have you not seen them being questioned by congressional and Senate GOP and refuse to answer?

By your reasoning, anyone can be accused of being an FBI agent.

is Epps ready to go under oath to refute the accusations ?

Yes

 

[Seymour Flops]

By your reasoning, anyone can be accused of being an FBI agent.

Yes, anyone can be accused of anything. The FBI can confirm or deny it, or refuse to answer.

They may want us to think a refusal to answer is meaningless, but it means a lot. Especially given the amount of information they leak, them keeping this simple yes or no answer from us speaks volumes.

He already testified to the DoJ.

Try to keep up.

He worked for the DOJ so they have absolutely no desire to find any criminality. Talk about keeping up. This is a classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse. It's like Clyde prosecuting Bonnie.

 

[wamose]

Sure. Go ahead. Prove it, retard.

When people on here say that you're an illogical, fragile, mentally unstable snowflake, they can depend on the court of public opinion to bear their feelings out. We've also found that it's almost impossible to prove any favored person guilty. There is very little justice coming out of your beloved DOJ these days

Speculation about what they desire.

No matter who it was, the right wing media would connect it to some neferious association to attack the process.

Let's stick to facts.

Did Tucker actually make the claim that he was an asset or did he make a claim that many suspect that he may have directly been an FBI asset in the past ? Please post a direct link to the article where Tucker makes a direct connection between Ray Epps and the FBI.. Thanks

And oh by the way or while you are at it, please give us the reason's why Ray Epps has not been arrested or incarcerated with the other's, otherwise for helping in this alledged attack on the government ?

 

[beagle9]

Epps needs to sue Tucker and prove that he wasn't working with the FBI!

Yes, it's curious how he only wants an apology... Fear's discovery maybe ??

Still yet he's on film helping the so called insurrectionist, but he has been conveniently ignored by the DOJ... Why ?

Hmm, I wonder why they haven't throw Epps fat ass into the DC Gulag?

 

[Delldude]

If Tucker does not apologize (and I am pretty sure he will), this goes to court.

Did you catch his apology last night?

In other words... you couldn't prove it? Yeah, thought so.

Don't feel too bad. I never expect retards to back up their statements so you didn't disappoint.

Did he?
