So a cop using the word terrorist is problematic for trumpers who all cheered on their fat lying corrupt pos whenever he used the word to describe anyone that was publicly protesting against police brutality. WB you are so easy to see through. Trump is still telling easily debunked lies about the election he lost. I used to think republicans valued truth and democracy but now those are apparently “rinos”
My cited evidence, vs. your easily disproven lies. The sources I've cited are telling the facts.
The liberal media you guys cite have been proven to be liars over and over. They OPENLY BOAST that factual journalism "is over-rated", and that their job is to prop up the Democrat narrative and slander Trump any way they can.
How many times do I have to beat you morons over the head with the facts:
Your unhinged liberal cultism is put on display by the facts you ignore, even as you try to perpetuate another false narrative, that conservatives and other independent thinkers are "cultists" for rejecting the clearly false narrative and exhibiting critical thinking. But you cling to liberal media lies, even after the ethics and credibility of your mainstream liberal sources have have been PROVEN discredited liars, dozens of times over. And openly say they are proud to be liars, for your Deep State/Democrat cult.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
WB you just skipped over Trump telling the DOJ to just call the election corrupt and let him and the r congressmen handle the rest just days before Jan 6. Trump isn’t even denying it. That is what you call weaponizing an agency. And if Trump had been able to place more of his yes men into key spots you could have had your coup.
The draft December 28 letter, published by ABC News, urged top Georgia officials to convene the state legislature in a special session to evaluate supposed "irregularities" in the 2020 election.
The letter said, falsely, that Justice Department had identified "significant concerns that may have impacted of the outcome of the election in multiple States, including the State of Georgia."
According to internal Justice Department emails also obtained by ABC News, the letter was circulated by Jeffrey Clark, a top department official who was working with the then-President to get the department more directly involved in the Trump election reversal crusade. Clark was acting attorney general of the civil division at the time.
He sent the draft letter, according to the emails, to acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue. Though the letter was directed to Georgia, Clark's email indicated that he wanted to send similar versions to "each relevant state."
"I set it up for signature by the three of us. I think we should get it out as soon as possible," Clark told Rosen and Donoghue, according to the emails obtained by ABC News.
"I see no valid downsides to sending out the letter," Clark said.
Donoghue, in his emailed response obtained by ABC News, vehemently expressed opposition to sending the letter. He noted that former Attorney General William Barr had publicly announced that the department had not found evidence of mass voter fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election. Donoghue said he was unaware of any developments since Barr's assessment that would have changed that conclusion. Furthermore, Donoghue, noted it was not in DOJ's typical practices to update non-law enforcement actors on the progress of investigation, as Clark's draft letter to the Georgia officials promised the department would do.
Donoghue told Clark in the email that there was "no chance" he would sign the draft letter "or anything remotely like this." Donoghue added that, from where he stood, "this is not even in the realm of possibility."
On January 2, Rosen later weighed in to make clear that he was "not prepared to sign such a letter," according to the email chain.
The internal documents were turned over by the department to the House Oversight Committee, ABC News said, as the committee investigates Trump's attempts to overturn the election. The committee had no comment when reached by CNN, and the Justice Department declined to comment as well. Rosen and Donoghue also had no comment.
The draft letter was one of several examples of how Trump tried to weaponize the Justice Department in his efforts to reverse his electoral defeat. Trump himself demanded that DOJ officials declare the election "illegal" and "corrupt," according to notes of a December 27 call Trump had with Rosen and Donoghue released by the House committee last week. Internal DOJ documents previously released by the committee showed that Trump allies had also pressured the department to get involved in the legal fight to disrupt the election results.
CNN's Manu Raju and Evan Perez contributed to this report.”
Sourced from CNN... CNN is where the truth goes to die. They will broadcast or publish any half-baked lie that refects badly on Trump and his supporters. And they have been caught repeatedly in the last 4 years as having reported things completely untrue and factually wrong, and had to retract stories, and even fire the reporters and producers who aired them, when the facts dispoving them are unearthed just a few days later. Likewise New York Times, likewise Washington Post.

That's another lying Democrat propaganda narrative that has been disproven. Trump only asked the Georgia officials, the electors, and the U S S C to do the right thing, and not hide the true facts regarding the election from the public. The liberal media headlines IMPLY otherwise, but that's all there is.
But the corrupt Democrats, and a wing of corrupt Republicans who enabled them in Georgia, Arizona and elsewhere, are instead doing everything they can to obstruct an open audit of the election.
By contrast, Democrats viciously slandered and contested the 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections. Challenged and slandered the integrity of every election the Democrats didn't win ! Republicans permitted debate, and multiple full and open audits of the votes in all cases. TWENTY YEARS of elections the Democrats have bitterly challenged, and slandered as "rigged" even after multiple full investigations have proven otherwise. Hillary Clinton and other Democrats for Trump's entire four years slandered him as an "illegitimate president", despite every investigation proving otherwise.
But in stark contrast, in the 2020 election, Democrats (and a number of corrupt Republican officials, and the Orwellian Newspeak liberal media) are doing everything to suppress an audit of the election, hiding the keys and passwords, and in the case of Arizona, have made it crystal clear that the Arizona state election board and other election workers DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE KEYS AND PASSWORDS TO OVERSEE THEIR OWN ELECTION, THAT ALL THEIR OFFICIAL RESULTS WERE FROM DOMINION STAFF, WITH NO ARIZONA STATE OVERSIGHT OR CONFIRMATION. Arizona officials can't independently verify their reported election results, and don't even have the technological training or skills to do so. THAT ALONE proves the election result was fraudulent.
Add to that how vitriolically anti-Trump and pro-Democrat every Dominion Voting Systems employee has proven to be, in their connections to Democrats and the Clinton Foundation, in their online social media posts. In their open allegience to Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and open hatred of Trump and his supporters. Dominion's vice president (and head of nationwide Dominion election machine systems security) Eric Coomer openly said "Trump isn't going to win, I made fucking sure of that". Even if you dismissively say it can't be proven (or disproven) that he actually said those exact words, there are MOUNTAINS of vitriolic anti-Trump hate, and open allegience with Antifa, in his social media posts. That alone makes clear he should not have been trusted with the security of an election to re-elect Trump. https://www.votefraud.news/2020-12-07-trump-hating-pro-antifa-dominion-executive.html
There is abundant evidence that Coomer is guilty of everything I said.
Read those screen-grabbed social media posts by Coomer. Read them!
Coomer actually sounds just like... Iggy. Completely unhinged and boiling over with hate. And this is the guy in charge of election integrity. "Trump won't win, I made fucking sure of that."
Once again, everything Democrats accuse Trump and his supporters of doing, is what Democrats themselves are actually doing, and hiding their own malevolent actions by accusing Trump of doing. That is the signature Democrat-Bolshevik move.

Just glad this is all getting exposed with possible criminal proceedings to follow. Trump lost and tried to stay in power by trying to get his own DOJ to just call it crooked even when they said he was full of shit. That happened WB. The difference between you and me is it actually would have mattered to me if there had been proof that stood up in court or if the recounts didn’t jibe with the election. To you it’s all about keeping your guy in power no matter what. You are the threat to our democracy.

AGAIN:
Over 100,000 "peaceful and patriotic" protesters. Only about 600 of those protesters went inside the Capitol building, over 90% of them charged with only "trespassing". Maybe 50 who were either involved in clashing with police, or smashing windows, or theft of personal letters or Pelosi's speaking podium, or urinating on a desk. And of that 50 or so, by the FBI's own investigative reports, at least 20 of them were "un-indicted co-conspirators", or undercover FBI agents who actually planned the violence and tricked Trump supporters into following them. And of that 50, 10 or 20 of them were Black Lives Antifa/Black Lives Matter leader John Earle Sullivan's "Jayden X" 's group, who videotaped their own antics, disguised as Trump supporters, openly bragging on camera they intended to frame Trump supporters for their own violence and destruction, and to hopefully trick Trump supporters into following them.
So... of the 50 or so involved in "violence", it seems a majority of them, if not all of them, were groups conspiring to frame Trump supporters.
If you want to see an ACTUAL "insurrection", look at what Black Lives Matter and Antifa did during 2020, looting and burning over 275 cities nationwide. Businesses looted and burned to the ground, jobs destroyed forever. 25 people killed, including 5 officers. Over 2,000 police injured. An ACTUAL nationwide insurrection. Look at 5 miles of looted and burned businesses in your home city of Minneapolis alone. A war zone. Hundreds of businesses that will never come back.
The rioting in the Capitol on Jan 6th did no permanent damage, the joint session came right back in the same Capitol room 3 hours later, and voted to finalize the electoral votes for Biden. The rest is just lying narrative and massive exaggeration at best, to feed a lying Democrat narrative.
The coup failed. That doesn’t mean trump and helpers get a pass. You and other Trump supporters make it clear that there needs to be accountability and consequences for actions.
The coup failed. That doesn’t mean trump and helpers get a pass. You and other Trump supporters make it clear that there needs to be accountability and consequences for actions.
The "coup" is a Democrat manufactured lying narrative that didn't happen. As I detailed above, from the FBI's own investigative reports. Not one firearm was found of confiscated in the Capitol, or anywhere around Washington Square. NOT. ONE. Not one of the 600 or so trespassers in the Capitol were charged with "insurrection". NOT ONE. 90% were only charged with trespassing. Of the 60 charged with vandalism or violence on Jan 6th 2021, at least 40 of the 60 are BLM/Antifa (John Earle Sullivan's group, as proven by their own self-incriminating videos posted on social media), and "un-indicted co-conspirators" (i.e. FBI agents disguised as Trump supporters), both TRYING TO INCITE AND FRAME TRUMP SUPPORTERS, for crimes Trump protesters did not commit.
A federal judge suggested the Department of Justice has been biased in its sentencing of January 6 protesters. During the sentencing of accused protester Danielle Doyle on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden suggested rioters in Washington D.C. and elsewhere during 2020’s civil unrest were given lesser sentences than those who participated in the incident at the Capitol.
McFadden added the Justice Department would “have more credibility if it was even-handed in its concern about riots and mobs in the city.” He also questioned why more protesters throughout the 2020 riots weren’t brought to court.
During her time before the district judge, Doyle expressed her love for the country as well as her intentions on January 6.
“I love this country,” she expressed. “So many people came here to represent things that were important to us, but in the blink of an eye, all of those things were overshadowed.” she said.
McFadden’s comments come as prosecutors continue to claim the January 6 event was far more detrimental to the U.S. than the dozens of violent protests of 2020.
I've already detailed repeatedly all the different false narratives by the Democrat/Left and liberal media regaarding the protests on January 6th:
* by the DC coroner's office regarding Officer Brian Sicknick's death, * the cover-up and false narratives from the Capitol police officers and leadership. * Even the New York Times has retracted their narrative (now that it has allowed the Democrats to seize power on Jan 20th, and ram through their legislation, and have tyranically imprisoned about 600 innocent people who are only guilty of "trespassing" on Jan 6th, if they are guilty of any crime at all. * putting on a show of intimidation to silence their conservative critics.
Along with: * further purges of any military who have posted pro-Trump social media posts, * and now a purge of police, military, teachers and other government-employed people who won't get a PROVEN ineffective vaccine. Many who have been vaccinated, including many highly visible government officials, have been infected with Covid-19 regardless of being fully vaccinated. By some studies the vaccinated are infected at an even higher ratio of infection.
So the real purpose of the Jan 6th narrative, of the Covid-vaccine purges, is purging and displacing Republicans, and replacing them with Democrats, to consolidate their power. Not any logical security or medical policy. And also purging and replacing any Democrats or independents who also oppose and resist the Democrat party narrative.
Also, as the "Five people KILLED by white racist Trump supporters" narrative has collapsed, the first person who died (1) Ashli Babbit has proven to be unarmed and not a threat when shot and killed from 25 feet away for no logical reason. And there was even no investigation, as Capitol Police covered it up, and just swept it under the rug.
So there was (2) one stroke (NOT killed by Trump supporters) that killed officer Brian Sicknick (who by the way was a Trump supporter, who wrote his House representative to oppose Trump's Jan 2020 impeachment. ) Another man (3) in his 50''s who died of a stroke (NOT killed by Trump supporters), (4)another man in his 50's who died of a heart attack (NOT killed by Trump supporters), both previously treated for these medical conditions.
And (5) Roseanne Boyland, age 34. Who initially was reported dead by the false narrative of being trampled to death by other Trump supporters, then was reported to have died by the false narrative of a drug overdose, then replaced by the false narrative of having collapsed from a seizure and died receiving CPR. It now turns out that she may be the SECOND Trump supporter murdered by police:
Predictably at this point, a true account of what happened, as witnessed in video footage and by multiple witnesses, suppressed for months by another false narrative from the liberal media, and by Bolshevik-aligned Capitol Police and FBI, and a completely indifferent Democrat controlled House that refuses to investigate, because to investigate would undermine and expose their false narrative.
So a cop using the word terrorist is problematic for trumpers who all cheered on their fat lying corrupt pos whenever he used the word to describe anyone that was publicly protesting against police brutality. WB you are so easy to see through. Trump is still telling easily debunked lies about the election he lost. I used to think republicans valued truth and democracy but now those are apparently “rinos”

And openly say they are proud to be liars, for your Deep State/Democrat cult.
I know you are but what am I is fucking stupid and childish way to go about things, cultist.
All I did was expose your childish insults and pure troll antagonism. I know you have no interest in truth or factual debate at this point. But I consistently cite sourced facts that PROVE what I'm saying.
My facts are FACTS, cited by some of the most acclaimed journalists of the last 4 decades, who left the propaganda liberal networks after decades of acclaim there, because these networks no longer have journalistic ethics or permitted them to report those facts.
The sources you cite as "news" are now Democrat/Left propaganda networks, and only because they agree with your angry liberal progressive ideas do you accept what sources like CNN, The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, MSNBC, etc have to say. No matter how many times they have been proven wrong, forced to retract stories, had to fire reporters and producers for egregious obscene levels of partisanship. (see again Sharyl Attkisson's list of media bias examples above).
The liberal media openly admit their bias and commitment to prop up Democrats and destroy Republicans.
CNN excoriated on their own network a few days ago by Bari Weiss, who quit New York Times before appearing, because of the one-sided liberal fanaticism and toxic work environment for her at N Y Times, as someone who is left of center but still struggled to objectively cover both sides of the stories she covered. https://www.foxnews.com/media/bari-weiss-brian-stelter-world-has-gone-mad-cnn
You deify shit, you worship garbage, as if it were actual "news", instead of the Bolshevik propaganda it has become. I watched CNN since the 1980's till about 2009, and despite its liberal bias up to then, there was still mostly plenty of solid journalism. But now they are just shameless propagandists. Likewise most of the media. They have chosen sides, joined the Democrat-Bolshevik revolution to overthrow the U.S. and establish leftist one-party authoritarian rule, and have abandoned any pretense of objectivity. And schmucks like you verbally abuse myself and others for not drinking the Kool-Aid. And you, zombie-like, loyal zealot drone that you are, continue to believe what is OBVIOUSLY untrue. Again: watch the Sharyl Attkisson video, and her quoted examples. The liberal media openly boast about their partisanship. And you still hold up their lies as gospel truth. And incredibly, verbally abuse me for not drinking the Kool-Aid along with you.
No firearms, no "insurrection", no "storming of the capital". This exposes the Democrat/Left's entire narrative for January 6th as a lie.
While simultaneously, Democrat leaders and the liberal media selectively ignore the ACTUAL insurrection and destruction of BLM and Antifa in over 275 cities during 2020, and ongoing into 2021.
While simultaneously ignoring that the destruction and rioting of the Left was worse during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
Ignoring that it was worse when BLM/Antifa laid siege to the White House, to the point that they evacuated President Trump to a secure location. 50 Secret Service agents were injured during that siege. On what other occasion have so many Secret Service agents been injured. Never. NEVER !
The Left ignores facts, except when they support their Democrat-Bolshevik narrative. The Democrat Left hates police, except when they can weaponize them in propaganda to support their narrative.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
Dozens of activists protesting fossil fuel projects were arrested Thursday in Washington, D.C., after they staged a sit-in at the Interior Department, a move that led to "multiple injuries" and at least one law enforcement officer being transported to a hospital. Demanding that President Biden declare climate change an emergency, People vs. Fossil Fuels, the group responsible for the protest, organized a week-long series of demonstrations against the president as he approves different fossil fuel projects.
Following the protest, Interior Department spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz released a statement through a series of tweets. "Early this afternoon, a group of protestors entered the Stewart Lee Udall Main Interior Building," Schwartz wrote. "Federal Protective Service personnel responded to the area to mitigate the situation. Multiple injuries were sustained by security personnel, and one officer has been transported to a nearby hospital. Medics representing both the Department and the protesters were present."
Schwartz also noted that Interior Secretary Deb Haaland was not in Washington during the protest and insisted that leadership at the department "believes strongly in respecting and upholding the right to free speech and peaceful protest."
According to video footage from The Washington Post's Ellie Silverman, activists could be seen climbing up doors and pushing officers back as they tried to force their way into the Interior Department. Andy Ngô, a conservative journalist who often covers events related to Antifa, shared one of Silverman's videos. He described the scene at the federal building as "reminiscent of Jan. 6," noting that officers were forced to draw their stun guns as "extreme environmentalist protesters" attempted to make their way inside.
Event organizers alleged that "police tased and hit multiple people with batons" and "55 people were arrested and taken away to DC Metro police stations." "Police acted aggressively with the water protectors and indigenous leaders, tasing at least two people and hitting others with batons," the group claimed. "An independent indigenous media person was assaulted by the police and had his equipment broken." Fox News reached out to the Federal Protective Service (FPS) and received the following statement:
"Yesterday, officers from the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service (FPS) responded to a demonstration at the Stewart L. Udall Building. FPS is committed to the safety of demonstrators participating in lawful protests and fully supports the peaceful expression of all people. FPS will continue to pursue our mission of ensuring the safety and security of federal employees and facilities, consistent with the law."
In the statement, FPS also offered appreciation for U.S. Park Police and Washington Metropolitan Police Department who assisted in efforts "to detain, prosecute or take action against anyone who caused harm and attempted to disrupt the business of the federal government yesterday."
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) was asking attorney general Merrick Garland about this in House hearings today, about the DOJ targeting parents who oppose critical race theory being taught to their children, the DOJ treating them as domestic terrorists. I'm not aware of a single incident where parents have either threatened or physically attacked radical leftist/critical race theory PTA boards, these parents have only vowed to not rest until critical race theory is removed from their schools, and these PTA leaders are driven out of office and replaced.
The only incidents I'm aware of where there was even a clash with police (and on both occasions initiated overly-aggressively by police) are:
1) in June when the PTA board prematurely ended a meeting where they didn't like the onslaught of questions from parents and their board being exposed as radicals, and prematurely ended the PTA meeting and forced parents to leave without allowing them to even speak or ask questions. When people just stayed in the room and refused to leave, the PTA had police overly-aggressively arrest one father, who did nothing but stand there.
2) another incident in Loudon County, Virginia, a father whose daughter had been raped by a 15 year old transgender male, and the incdent covered up by the school, again was just trying to speak, and police threw him to the floor and arrested him, completely unprovoked, as a way to prevent him from publicly exposing what had happened. Rather than prosecuting the rape, the school board covered up the rape, and transferred the transgender predator to another school, where he sexually assaulted another teenage girl. Which also went unpunished, until this father of the first assaulted girl came forward.
In both cases there was no "right wing violence", despite it being portrayed as such. These were incidents completely manufactured and set up by the Democrat-Left and their police storm troopers. So they could rationalize a DOJ targeting of those who PEACEFULLY and patriotically oppose the leftist over-reach of ramming critical race theory indoctrination down the throats of these parents and their children.
Merrick Garland has become the Democrats' Lavrentiy Beria, who allows the Democrat-Bolsheviks to use the DOJ/FBI as a weaponized arm of the the Democrat party to attack, intimidate, and arrest without trial their conservative opposition. Hidden by a timid sounding voice, he has overseen the politicized weaponization of the DOJ/FBI to perhaps the worst level in history. And with past abusers of power like J. Edgar Hoover and James Comey/Andrew McCabe and company, that is a feat indeed. Garland has proven himself infinitely unworthy of having ever been considered as a U.S. Supreme Court justice, in how his DOJ has trampled on the Constitution and kept 600 innocent people in the harshest of prison conditions, just to feed his party's Jan 6th political narrative . China, Russia, Iran, Belarus and Myanmar now have cause to laugh when we criticize their human rights abuses.
I see a huge bunch of ranting and accusations with little citation. The accusation about the DOJ being weaponized under Biden is pretty laughable. We didn’t all get amnesia during Trump’s term and his DOJ. He even tried forcing the DOJ in helping him try to steal the election.

Respectfully M E M, the DOJ/FBI was been weaponized against Trump supporters who did nothing wrong on Jan 6 2021. There are about 600 people who at most stepped inside the Capitol building on January 6th, many of them (ON VIDEO) by police who welcomed them inside with the double doors held wide open for them(ON VIDEO) , and stood like an honor guard on either side (ON VIDEO) as they walked down the halls.
Of the 600 who entered the Capitol building, only about 60 are alleged to have committed any violence or vandalism, and as I've said repeatedly "at least 20" (possibly more) are described in FBI investigation reports as "un-indicted co-conspirators" (i.e., undercover FBI agents posing as Trump supporters, trying to trick and incite Trump supporters into violence.) And yet the 90% who entered the Capitol building on Jan 6th are kept in severe prison conditions, subject to beatings, not permitted to talk to their lawyers, for at most "trespassing" (in reality tricked and trapped), imprisoned and separated from their families for a year and counting, losing their jobs and businesses, and buried in legal fees that amount to no more than bullying and harassment.
While ACTUAL violent criminals from BLM and Antifa who burned down and looted over 275 cities over the last 2 years are set free, no incarceration, no cases filed. As I detailed above, WITH PHOTOS, some of these people tried to kill police officers, burn them to death in federal buildings, burn them to death with Molotov cocktails in their squad car. The irony of that contrast screams injustice, malicious prosecution, and unequal treatment under the law. That is most certainly weaponization of the DOJ/FBI.
And also of that 60, about 20 are John Earle Sullivan and his BLM/Antifa group (ALSO on video) openly boasting they are disguised as Trump supporters, and trying to get Trump supporters blamed for their own violence, and hopefully trick Trump supporters into following them into violence. So again, that's about 40 of the 60 "VIOLENT INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP SUPPORTERS" .... who were clearly NOT Trump supporters. A clear majority. It's a set-up. It's a frame job.
And back to the weaponized FBI and DOJ, they have kept these 600 or so "trespassers" (many if not most of whom were invited into the Capitol by police, tricked into committing a "crime". They have been treated worse than Al Qaida prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. One was beaten by a guard and has a broken eye socket, and has been denied medical treatment. If they even try to tell their families, friends and lawyers about the cruel treatment they are receiving, they receive further beatings. They are being shaken down to sign plea bargains to crimes they did not commit, just to end the torment. For crimes they NEVER committed.
Wave 2 of the FBI/DOJ weaponization is attorney general Merrick Garland's order to treat parents who merely attend PTA meetings and vocally object to their children being indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory. The full extent of their "violence" is shouting their anger at this outrageous indoctrination, and demanding that these PTA officials either resign or face being voted out in the next PTA election. Tucker Carlson last night (discussing a related transgender mob who attacked people supporting comedian Dave Chappell, transgenders wanting Chapell fired for transgender jokes, attacking Dave Chappell supporters and breaking their signs) to which Carlson said that "Consevatives' speech is violence, and the Left's violence is 'speech', you see how that works? "
And it doesn't operate much differently at the DOJ/FBI. There is a complete double-standard, and I've cited facts to detail examples of that double standard since before Trump was inaugurated, and they keep piling up.
I don't see any evidence that Trump "tried forcing the DOJ in helping him try to steal the election". That is completely made up. Another lying Democrat narrative.
This whole Steve Bannon thing is another smoke-and-mirrors Democrat lying narrative.
Yesterday the Democrat-Bolshevik House majority found Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress, for not permitting a fishing expedition into his records (Laventiy Beria parallel again) in another example of "show me the man and I will give you the crime." https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/21/...mpt-justice-department-criminal-charges/
And I wondered, What is the basis for them investigating Steve Bannon? What did he actually do, what is he even alleged to have done?
All this says is that Bannon made a few phone calls to Trump, and pushed him to make January 6th a big protest event, to essentially make January 6th a "last stand" with a visible protest to accompany a contesting of the rigged electoral vote, to challenge the validity of the electoral vote and undermine Joe Biden's legitimacy as a legally elected president. Y'know... pretty much what the Democrats did to Trump for 4 years, only with actual facts on Trump's side, and not illegally weaponizing DOJ, FBI, IRS and CIA to frame Biden, as the Democrats did to Trump.
There's nothing in this article (it's a CNN article, so it's a given this is the worst possible light they could portray) about any proposed armed "insurrection" or "siege" of the Capitol, just to protest and make a vocal case for election fraud that the news media would have to cover, and hopefully have vice president Pence delay the elector-vote finalization. So as to create a televised debate for several weeks, to inform the American public what actually occurred, that Republican Senate and House members could make a case for in televised hearings for 2 or 3 weeks, without the filter of the liberal media preventing the case from being made, as had occurred up till then. Unfortunately that didn't end up happening. Because the 20 or so "un-indicted co-conspirators" (i.e., FBI agents disguised as Trump supporters, inciting violence), and John Earle Sullivan's BLM/Antifa group (disguised as Trump supporters, inciting violence) were successful in hijacking perception and media coverage of the protest rally, to frame Trump and his supporters as "white supremacist insurrectionists".
But supposing the world has become “filled up”, so to speak, with liberal democracies, such as there exist no tyranny and oppression worthy of the name against which to struggle? Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle. They will struggle, in other words, out of a certain boredom: for they cannot imagine living in a world without struggle. And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterized by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, then they will struggle against that peace and prosperity, and against democracy.

To answer WB’s question, Bannon was prodding Trump to focus on Jan 6 and was reportedly in frequent contact with the WH that day. Sort of makes him an obvious person that they would want to question. WB knew that though but instead employs the smoke and mirrors that he accuse others of.

But even in CNN's above worst spin of it, Steve Bannon only encouraged Trump to organize a peaceful rally to draw media attention and public awareness to the issue of Biden's election fraud, that had been blocked out by media coverage. Bannon advised Trump this was a way to bypass the media, and force the media to cover a protest of over 100,000 Trump supporters in Washington DC voicing opposition to that election fraud, and forcing the media to cover Republican House/Senate debate of the issue.
It's a wild leap of an allegation beyond that to say that Trump "incited the violence". In point of fact, in the days and weeks leading up to January 6th, it was Trump who personally ordered 10,000 National Guard troops, to insure that things remained peaceful. It was Pelosi and the Democrats who rescinded that order, and rescinded it multiple times, even when officers in charge on Jan 6th were on the phone begging for authorization to deploy those troops already ordered by Trump, at least 5 times on the day of January 6th, as I posted earlier.
It was Trump who in his 71 minute speech on January 6th, said "I know in a few minutes you're going to march over to the Capitol biling and PEACEFULLY and patriotically voice your support" for the Republican Senate and House members legally challenging the electoral vote finalization. Seeking to have V.P. Pence stop the electoral finalization, and begin 2 or 3 weeks of televised hearings of debate, of the evidence of election fraud during a prolonged joint session in those weeks on the House/Senate floor.
It was Trump who about every 30 minutes all through the afternoon of January 6th, sent out Twitter posts instructing his supporters to "remain peaceful". Trump at no point incited violence or instructed his supporters to commit violence. As I've said repeatedly, at least 40 of the 60 charged with vandalism or violence are either (Democrat-loyalist) "un-indicted co-conspirator" FBI agents sent to frame Trump supporters (agents who are all identifiable in photos on Jan 6th, but never arrested or charged by the FBI.) And John Earle Sullivan's BLM/Antifa group, who ALSO disguised themselves as Trump supporters and committed violence, and tried to incite or frame Trump supporters. John Earle Sullivan, who orchestrated the Ashli Babbitt shooting, is out on bail under house arrest, free to still spread his hate and stoke violence on social media. But Trump, who did nothing wrong, and even ordered the 10,000 National Guard to prevent violence, a National Guard order that others (Democrats) obstructed, is banned from that same social media.
On Facebook and Twitter, the Ayatollah can deny the Holocaust and boast of planning to wipe Israel off the map. On Twitter and Facebook, the Chinese government can boast that they are "liberating" Uyghur women by forcing abortions to prevent them from becoming mothers, and keeping 2 million Uyghurs in concentration camp slave conditions, murdering many, harvesting their organs. On Twitter and Facebook, Black Lives Matter and Antifa can openly plot and coordinate their riots and violent attacks in cities nationwide across the U.S..... but OH, Trump is too dangerous to be permitted to have an account. The world is upside down.
That is YOUR Democrat-Bolshevik smoke and mirrors propaganda exposed, M E M.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
It’s apparent that Bannon could shed more light on that day than what is publicly known. I think you know and understand why that is a problem for democracy haters like trump and his sheep.

That's clearly just the Bolshevism that's polluted you brain talking and nothing to do with the fact that these people seemed to organize hijinks behind that rube mob Wondy loves so much, MEM!
It’s apparent that Bannon could shed more light on that day than what is publicly known. I think you know and understand why that is a problem for democracy haters like trump and his sheep.
I think it's clear that we already know the gist of the conversations between Trump and Bannon, that Bannon only encouraged Trump to stage a large PEACEFUL and patriotic protest by his supporters, to draw attention to the election fraud issue, in a way the liberal media (who were suppressing evidence of election fraud) could not ignore. The FBI has already made clear in its reports that there was not a single firearm seized in or around the Capitol building, or anywhere in Washington Square. No firearms, no armed "insurrection", that lying Democrat/liberal media narrative completely disproven as unquestionably false. The FBI has not charged a single person with "insurrection". The lying Democrat narrative again instantly disproven.
We also know, from the FBI's own investigative reports, that of the 60 or so charged with violence or vandalism: 1) at least 40 of the 60 were either "un-indicted co-conspirator" undercover FBI agents who were stoking violence and trying to get Trump supporters to follow them into violence (entrapment). And... 2) about 20 of them were John Earle Sullivan and his BLM/Antifa group, who were also only pretending to be Trump supporters, trying to either trick Trump supporters into violence, or get them blamed for BLM/Antifa's violence. So an OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of the 60 involved in violence and rioting were not Trump supporters, but those trying to frame them. Did Steve Bannon organize them? Why is there not the same curiosity and pursuit of evidence by Democrats on the committee of THESE people, as there is with their witch hunt against Bannon? Ah. Because it doesn't fit their slanderous lying narrative.
It's clear that Steve Bannon is a person that both the liberal media and Democrat leadership love to portray as a sinister boogeyman, but that as with every president during their term, Trump's communications with those who advised him in that period are confidential, just as they were with every other past president and their advisors. If going forward ,advisors to presidents know their conversations will be later exposed, they simply will not give presidents the best and most honest advice in the future, and will only discuss what will protect them from prosecution or embarassment at a later date if those conversations are made public.
If Revolver News’s previous reporting points to a proactive role of the federal government in relation to the conspiracy cases against Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, the Ray Epps story that follows suggests a similar, yet more egregious, explicit, direct and immediate degree of federal involvement in the breach of the Capitol itself.
Quote
Oct 25 2021
In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.
The story of the mystery man, Ray Epps, featured in Rep. Massie’s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. It’s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the “Capitol Breach” and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called “insurrection” of January 6th.
Here is a transcript of Thomas Massie’s exchange with the Attorney General, just in case you skipped past the video above.
Rep. Massie: As far as we can determine, the individual who was saying he’ll probably go to jail, he’ll probably be arrested, but they need to go into the Capitol the next day, is then directing people into the Capitol the next day, is then the next day directing people to the Capitol. And as far as we can find. You said this is one of the most sweeping in history. Have you seen that video, or those frames from that video?
AG Garland: So as I said at the outset, one of the norms of the Justice Department is to not comment on pending investigations, and particularly not to comment on particular scenes or particular individuals.
Rep. Massie: I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to put to rest the concerns that people have that there were federal agents or assets of the federal government present on January 5 and January 6. Can you tell us, without talking about particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6, whether they agitated to go into the Capitol, and if any of them did?
AG Garland: So I’m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.
[Looks down and away]
I’m not going to comment on an investigation that’s ongoing.
There is good reason why AG Garland ran from Massie’s question faster than he could find words — and why he couldn’t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massie’s gaze.
After months of research, Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.
Secondly, Revolver also determined, and will prove below, that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.
Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.
Identifying the individual in Thomas Massie’s video as Ray Epps was a surprisingly quick and easy task for the Internet.
It took less than a week after January 6 for online researchers to track Epps down and confirm his identity. Researchers uncovered his personal Facebook profile, where Epps shared his life story on Mark Zuckerberg’s social media app, under his real name.
On Facebook, Epps posted photos of himself boating, on horseback, and bear-hunting with a crossbow.
That’s a pretty big bear to hunt with a crossbow. And in many respects, Epps is quite an impressive figure. He served in the US Marines and ultimately worked his way up to full Marine Sergeant, according to his previous public title “SGT USMC” (Sergeant, US Marine Corp) and his private Facebook nostalgic musings.
Researchers went on to locate Epps’s ranch in Arizona, his events business, his private holding company, along with every publicly discoverable record imaginable. They even found his Facebook likes, religious affiliation, and preferred insurance agents and plumbing services, which we’ll avoid reporting in the interest of sparing unnecessary private details.
Epps, who grew up in Arizona and still lives there today, was contacted directly by local newspaper Arizona Central on January 11 — less than a week after January 6, and just three days after Epps was added to the FBI Most Wanted List, a detail upon which we will elaborate later on in this report.
AZ Central, which published its contemporaneous article on Epps under the original headline, In video, Trump supporter says, ‘We need to go into the Capitol’, first confirms his attendance at the Capitol protest:
A Queen Creek man who acknowledges he was in Washington, D.C., for last week’s rally by President Donald Trump also appears to be shown in videos taken the night before talking about plans to go inside the U.S. Capitol.
In one video that has been widely viewed on Twitter, he can be heard saying, “I don’t even like to say it because I’ll be arrested. I’ll say it. We need to go into the Capitol.”
Ray Epps told The Arizona Republic in a brief telephone interview Monday that he had traveled to the capital for the event, and that he had been advised by an attorney not to speak about it.
“I think the truth needs to get out,” he said.
A video online appears to show him saying, “We’re here to defend the Constitution” and “We need to go into the Capitol.
Epps didn’t stop at simply confirming his presence at the Capitol. Epps effectively corroborated on record that he was the exact same man telling Trump supporters they needed to go inside the Capitol.
Asked about it, he first told The Republic he would need to see the video. When read a transcript of the comments, he said, “The only thing that meant is we would go in the doors like everyone else. It was totally, totally wrong the way they went in.” [AZ Central]
The video below compiles shortened versions of five separate exchanges involving Epps at various hours during the night of January 5 and afternoon of January 6.
As you process the video above and the information to follow, it is important to keep in mind: Ray Epps is a free man. He has never been arrested or charged. Nearly 10 months after January 6, the FBI and Justice Department still refuse to comment on whether Epps has ever been served a search warrant.
But we do know that at least rank-and-file FBI investigators were intensely interested in Ray Epps in the immediate aftermath of January 6.
By January 8, the FBI Capitol Violence Most Wanted List featured a big fat friendly face shot of Ray Epps. The FBI’s Washington Field Office, in a tweet the same day, called for the public’s help in identifying Epps. Epps, dressed in full camo with a bright red “Trump” hat, is the FBI’s “Suspect 16” in the bottom-left quadrant of both images reproduced below:
{FBI images and video of Jan 6th]
For your edification, we matched FBI Suspect Photo #16 to the timestamp 0:48 of the full barricade breach source video:
[more video]
There are currently 486 suspects in the FBI’s Capitol Violence Most Wanted list. The fact that Ray Epps was one of the first 20 suspects the FBI ever publicly featured on its “be on the lookout” boards and “Most Wanted” lists reveals just how high a priority the FBI’s rank-and-file investigators considered Epps to be.
So to recap, on January 8, the FBI begged the public’s help to identify the mysterious “Person #16.”
Then, a funny thing happened: the public actually delivered.
Initially, swarms of left-wing researcher accounts, Antifa groups, and partisan non-profits leapt into Crowdsourced Internet Detective mode. They assigned Epps’s identity various hashtags and tracked his movements throughout January 5-6. The primary three hashtags assigned to Epps were:
* #CrowdControl, because of the way Epps was always controlling every crowd he was a part of on both January 5 and January 6; * #FedBoomer, because of the shocking video (analyzed below) of Epps being shouted down as a “Fed” by Trump supporters for proposing to enter the Capitol; and * #BigMagaCamo, which came to be Epps’s final, neutral descriptor name. It is under the #BigMagaCamo moniker that virtually all left-wing databases, shared Google spreadsheets and multimedia archives retain most of their Ray Epps information. Within days of the riot at the Capitol, archives quickly swelled with videos and images of Epps.
Ray Epps played two roles in virtually every encounter during his Commando Capitol Tour on January 6.
First, Epps instructed his commandos and the crowds at his attention to rush into the Capitol and let nothing stop them. Second, Epps assiduously protected cops and law enforcement so no local or federal officers would be harmed during the precision breaches.
If you want to see what this walking philosophical paradox looks like in action, here’s a clip of Epps patrolling the very front police lines of the Capitol’s Western Plaza at approximately 3:15 p.m at the height of the day’s mania — nearly two and a half hours after Epps and his “breach team” appeared to coordinate the toppling of the Capitol’s East-side police barricades. This was also nearly a full hour after the US Capitol building itself had already been breached. With Epps’s stated mission of breaching the Capitol accomplished, and hundreds of Trump supporters already inside, Epps’s mission magically switched to calming the crowd down, assuring them “We already made our point,” and ensuring that no more of his apparently fellow officers got hurt that afternoon:
So on January 8, 2021, the FBI begged the public for information regarding the identity of Suspect 16, Ray Epps, and even offered a cash reward.
The public obliged, and in less than three days, Ray Epps was identified as Suspect 16. Researchers corroborated his identity with troves of unassailable direct evidence, including an effective confession from Epps himself to his own local newspaper.
Then, for nearly six months, amidst the biggest manhunt in American history, the FBI did nothing with this information. As the FBI did nothing on Epps, it was simultaneously investigating, arresting, raiding and imprisoning hundreds of completely benign MAGA moms and social media trolls — mostly for minor misdemeanor trespassing charges.
Then, on July 1, between the hours of 3:37 a.m. and 5:55 p.m., the FBI finally took action on Ray Epps. But not to prosecute him, or to announce a sweeping investigation or FBI SWAT raid on Epps’s house for all of his phones and electronics. Instead, someone at the FBI quietly and stealthily purged every trace of Ray Epps from the Capitol Riots Most Wanted database.
Using the Wayback Machine from archive.org, we see that from January 8, 2021 until 3:37 a.m. on July 1, every archived version of the FBI.gov website shows Ray Epps as Suspect 16. The below photo is just a snapshot sample from February 16, 2021 — but users can view the Web Archive themselves to witness the Ray Epps purge occurring sometime between 3:37 a.m. and 5:55 p.m. on July 1. That would be during the FBI workday.
[ more FBI site photos from Jan 6th ]
On, July 1, Ray Epps, Suspect 16, was disappeared, as if he never existed.
[ Same FBI page photos, with Epps' photos wiped from the site.]
Now let’s be clear: Ray Epps was not purged because he was arrested. If Epps was arrested, the FBI Wanted List would have the caption “ARRESTED” affixed to his picture, as you can plainly see is done for all other arrested suspects in the database itself.
Further, the searchable Justive.Gov Capitol Breach Cases database confirms there are no case dockets or filings for any “Epps” at all.
To anyone checking the January 6 FBI Most Wanted List today, “Suspect 16” is just a ghost. Only obsessive, fastidious Wayback Machine users spending hours pouring through archived screenshots could ever forensically confirm Ray Epps was ever really a Wanted Man.
The question then arises: what prompted the FBI’s six-month slumber on Epps, and then their sudden purger on July 1?
Well, they panicked. Two major media reports (discussed below) came out on June 30, each of which touched the Ray Epps “Third Rail” from different angles, and the FBI likely realized it was no longer safe to maintain a digital record acknowledging they ever knew who this guy was. Then, the FBI hoped no one would notice the purged files, or would either politely look away or actively assist with their cover-up.
Let’s spell out the chronology a bit more before discussing the two pieces that likely prompted the FBI’s freakout.
First, while left-wing and Antifa accounts had been all over Ray Epps since Week 1, Epps did not come to right-wing and pro-Trump researchers’ attention until June 17, when a viral Twitter thread highlighted a series of shocking, verifiable livestream video timestamps where Epps instructed Trump supporters to go into the Capitol and then was shouted down on suspicions he was a Federal agent.
Just three days prior to the publication of the Epps Twitter thread, Revolver published a June 14 report on FBI operatives embedded within the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers on January 6th, which created a national narrative igniting a firestorm around the issue.
With Revolver’s piece catching national attention, the Epps Twitter clips posted on June 17 intensified right-wing interest in how it could be possible that Epps remained unindicted. After all, the Justice Department, in its hundreds of arrests, claims to still be stumped by the lack of evidence that anyone had actually pre-planned the storming of the Capitol. On June 30th, the New York Times published a piece entitled Inside the Capitol Riot: An Exclusive Video Investigation. This is the first of the two aforementioned June 30th publications that caused major problems for the FBI’s narrative.
The New York Times analysis purported to be “the official record” of what happened at the Capitol that day. But there were a few problems with “the official record” produced by the New York Times. For one, it told an outright lie about Ray Epps:
One of the biggest questions hanging over the aftermath of Jan. 6 was whether the riot was planned and carried out by organized groups.
By identifying and tracking key players throughout the day, we found that most — even some at the forefront of the action — were ardent, but disorganized Trump supporters swept up in the moment and acting individually.
The first person to enter the Capitol building, for example, was a 43-year-old husband and father from Kentucky named Michael Sparks. He has no known affiliation with any organized groups. Ray Epps, an Arizona man seen in widely-circulated videos telling Trump supporters on multiple occasions to go into the Capitol, also seemed to have acted on his own.
The NYT appears to be running cover for the FBI by referencing Epps’s appearance in “widely-circulated videos” and concluding that he “seemed to have acted on his own.”
This media malpractice NYT cover-up lie could not be further from the truth.
Below, we see Epps give explicit instructions, mere minutes before the very first breach of a police barricade on January 6. He gives these instructions to a still-unindicted, still “FBI Wanted” ex-Marine commando nicknamed “MaroonPB” who is antagonizing police officers with a blazing bullhorn.
After receiving instructions from Epps, MaroonPB replies, “Noted” — which, last we checked, means “stipulated”, “understood” or “agreed.” This is an explicit verbal agreement between two or more people — the opposite of the NYT’s claim that Epps “acted on his own.”
In case it wasn’t clear enough already, Epps also says “One more thing” — stipulating he gave the man a set of instructions before adding others. And those next instructions were, “When we go in, leave this here,” likely in reference to MaroonPB’s cannister of bear spray.
Amazingly, on June 30th, the NYT’s “Insurrection” obsessives, trying to decipher a secret “dog whistle” between President Trump, Stephen Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, and Roger Stone and the tens of thousands of MAGA protesters in DC that day, were now poking their own eyes out to avoid acknowledging actual coordination, caught on tape, between unindicted persons apparently orchestrating the opening act of the Capitol attack.
In any case, the NYT story must have created a real public relations headache for the FBI. How could the New York Times tell tens of millions of people that Epps was a key instigator in the “Makeup of the Mob” if the FBI had already known about Epps for 6+ months and even had his mugshot on the Most Wanted list? Perhaps the Times would have done the FBI a much bigger favor if they had simply not referred to Epps at all.
Could it be that the FBI decided they’d just purge Epps from the list, never tell anyone, and pretend they had never seen all the videotapes, the images, the message boards, the newspaper confession, and so on? As long as no one blew up Ray Epps’s name any further, the whole thing might blow over.
Also on June 30th, Revolver published a bombshell report exploring the extraordinary degree of federal protection afforded to founder and leader of the Oath Keepers militia, a man named Stewart Rhodes. This is the second of the aforementioned two pieces that likely triggered the FBI’s freakout.
A recent Revolver update on the inexplicable FBI protection of Stewart Rhodes recaps the strange situation.
Prosecutors argue it was:
* Rhodes who established the Oath Keepers conspiracy; * Rhodes who recruited people into the conspiracy; * Rhodes who organized and gave key instructions to the conspirators; * Rhodes who suggested the use of illegal weapons such as “collapsible batons”; * Rhodes who activated the conspiracy in real-time on January 6 via text messages and phone calls to his lieutenants from 1:38 – 2:40 p.m..; * Rhodes who waited on the Capitol steps for the completion of the conspiracy from approximately 3:30-4:00 p.m..; and * Rhodes who later congratulated everyone on a conspiracy well done at 7:14 p.m. Furthermore,
The Oath Keepers indictment cites 18 phone calls as evidence of coordination of a common conspiracy (for those following along, these calls are in paragraphs 105, 107, 108, 113, 114, 116, 118, 122, 123, 125, 126, 130, 134, 135, 138, 174, 175, and 176). Stewart Rhodes is the person either calling or being called in 10 of these 18 calls. Put another way: Rhodes makes or receives 55% of all phone calls in a massive conspiracy case spanning 16 defendants. When you combine phone calls involving Rhodes and those involving the mysteriously unindicted Person Ten, who Rhodes appointed his ground commander for the day, that number rises to 100% of all phone calls.
So what exactly does the curious case of Stewart Rhodes have to do with Ray Epps?
Students of FBI history should quickly absorb the lesson that infiltrating Feds are like roaches: whenever you spot one, it is guaranteed there are dozens others nearby. Feds simply never, ever, operate alone. This is how you end up with at least 12 FBI informants in a tiny “right-wing” Michigan militia plot from October 2020 (that’s just informants, not even agents), 15 informants in the “right-wing” 2016 Malheur plot, dozens in the 2014 Bundy Ranch affair — including six FBI undercover agents posing as fake documentarians shooting a fake documentary — and the list goes on.
You’ll be shocked, then, to learn that the Oath Keepers sport an eye-poppingly long history of FBI infiltration.
And lo and below, Ray Epps and Oath Keepers kingpin Stewart Rhodes are old pals in the organization. In fact, Stewart Rhodes was Ray Epps’s old boss. Back in 2011-2012, Epps was the Arizona state chapter leader of the Oath Keepers — the biggest Oath Keepers chapter in the country — while Rhodes was and remains the national leader. (See, e.g., archived proof of Epps as Arizona Oath Keeper President here, here and here.) Reason Magazine’s Radley Balko even interviewed Ray Epps while Epps was running the Arizona Oath Keepers a decade ago:
This week I also spoke with Ray Epps, a retired Marine sergeant from Mesa, Arizona and president of the Arizona chapter of Oath Keepers, the controversial organization of police and military personnel who have vowed not to enforce laws they believe are unconstitutional. After hearing about Guerena’s death, Epps drove to Tucson to investigate.
Oddly, Stewart Rhodes’s website OathKeepers.org deleted several historical blog posts featuring events run by Ray Epps, where Epps was listed as both President and Press Contact.
The Wayback Machine’s automatic archiving process suggests Stewart Rhodes’s OathKeepers.org posts concerning Ray Epps were effectively dormant from 2011 until 2021. Then, at approximately 3 p.m. on January 27, 2021, there is an update showing the page had been 404’d.
That's already a ton of evidence. Plenty more of evidence and video at the link.
A Rasmussen Reports poll released earlier this week showed that a majority of likely voters think cheating affected the 2020 presidential election. What's more, this number has increased not only with all voters, but Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. According to results from October, 56 percent of all likely voters believe that "it is likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election," including 41 percent who say it's "very likely."
“How likely is it that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election?"

Ray Epps said peacefully, but he's different and to blame for all of this rather than Trump who also said peacefully while saying to fight like hell or lose your country?

You're in a fucking cult, you moron.
1) Every time you post, you prove I'm right, that you're a malicious piece of human garbage. Pure insults, no facts, just pure malicious spite on your part. You're a liar, who can't control your self-incriminating vicious streak.
2) Ray Epps, according to the FBI's own investigation reports of Jan 6th events is one of "AT LEAST 20" un-indicted co-conspirators, each one an agent provacateur trying to stoke Trump supporters into violence, FBI agents who ON VIDEO committed some of the worst of the violence. And despite shown on video leading the violence, the FBI is not even looking for these "AT LEAST 20". Because they are the FBI's own, who tried to set up and frame Trump supporters.
3) Trump said absolutely nothing to incite violence on January 6th, either in his speech that day, or in his social media posts all throughout the afternoon of Jan 6th, in every post guiding his ACTUAL supporters over and over to "remain peaceful". (NOT the 20 or so FBI un-indicted co-conspirators sent to frame Trump and his supporters, And NOT John Earle Sullivan and his 20 or so BLM/Antifa group, who openly boast on video they are there to frame Trump supporters, Who combined were at least 40 of the 60 who committed vandalism or violence on Jan 6th.) In saying "fight like hell", Trump used the same language as literally hundreds of other speakers at that very same Washington mall over the last 20 years, phrasing that both Democrats and Republicans have used to press their supporters to protest vigorously for their respective causes. So what you say is once again lies, misrepresentation with no context, and pure malicious propaganda talking points.

Trump used the word peacefully exactly fucking once in his peak tantrum "stolen election" screed, you deranged cultist hillbilly.
You're an uninformed moron. Trump said "PEACEFULLY and patriotically voice your support" for the Republican House and Senate members inside the Capitol on the joint session floor. Which Trump supporters did, in peaceful demonstrations outside the Capitol building.
Throughout the day on Jan 6th, 2 or 3 times an hour, Trump in Twitter posts pressed his supporters to "remain peaceful".
And when the 20 or so FBI agent provacateur "un-indicted co-conspirators", and the 20 or so in John Earle Sullivan's BLM/Antifa group both tried to trick Trump supporters to enter the building, Trump without even knowing at that time it was Democrat operatives orchestrating the violence, released a video instructing his supporters to immediately leave and go home, which they did. Plainclothes security consultants who have monitored this and the many protests and crowds for a living in Washington Square over many years, said they were astonished how quickly Trump supporters complied with Trump's video instruction and left. Literally at least 40 or more of the 60 who did anything resembling violence on January 6th were clearly in official investigation reports either FBI agents or BLM/Antifa, NOT Trump supporters, agents sent to FRAME Trump supporters.. When that many people, an overwhelming majority of the 60, were orchestrating the set-up of Trump supporters, it becomes ridiculous to say there was any "insurrection".
There was no "tantrum" by Trump. His 71-minute speech on January 6th has been posted here repeatedly. https://vimeo.com/497719926 Trump is actually fun and entertaining to watch, in this and any of his rallies, his use of jokes and playful sarcasm is anything but a "tantrum". But you continue to lie, because that's just in your DNA to do so.
