  1. This is the best news ive heard all day. I dont like fox news or any mainstream media tbh. However now that this fed ray epps is suing fox news it opens the door for a motion of discovery. This will finally prove ray epps(fed or fed informant) had something to do with the setup of many people on January 6th.

  2. Ohh no how awful. One MAGAfreak tasted MAGAfreaks medicine.. and he did not like it. Karma is a witch

  3. The video sorta destroys his defense. He is guilty. Ray Epps the insurrectionist

  4. FBI has just filed charges against Ray Epps…..

  5. Fed or not… he was just charged for insurrection. As he OBVIOUSLY should be.

  6. We got little Brian Stelter in the house! Sure hope Mark Dice covers this video 🤣

  7. If Tucker Carlson has enough power to get Epps arrested for sighting an insurrection, all I can say is, "Thank you, Tucker and shame on NBC."

  8. All you NBC propagandists! You're mugs!

  9. Hey Ray, Salem News Channel was defaming you with the same claims yesterday during their at the half hour newsbreak during Seb Gorka's radio show. Sue those white nationalists too.

  10. You mean one of the FBI agents who helped orchestrate J6?

  11. Poor FBI agent didn't do nothin

  12. Ray Epps the FBI operative has been told by Wray to hold on..nobody should find out.

  13. Of all of the people involved, why is he the ONLY one defended by democrats?

  14. All we get is Deception, Deception Deception on every single subject. Anyone old enough to remember when we trusted one another? Used to be about to pump gas and THEN go in to pay because we TRUSTED. The left has made lying, deceiving, debauchery and immorality a way of life!

  15. Guy with horns walks around the Capitol escorted by the police: goes to jail
    Ray Epps is on video saying that people need to go into the Capitol:

  16. The videos show he was trying to start a riot. Even tje crowd reconized him as a fed. Finny this only comes now that tucker started to expose the truth about jan 6.

  17. The man admitted in a text message that he "orchestrated the whole thing". He defamed himself!

  18. Stelter: He's(Carlson) not reaching as many people on Twitter as he was on Fox.

    cmon man.

  19. Fox needs to be shut down.

  20. That’s Nice, But Flipping VOTE BLUE to End the MAGA Saga in 2024!

  21. Just like the lab leak. Today’s conspiracy is tomorrow’s “Oopsie that was true!” But only right after Dems win an election. Mhmm

  22. AWESOME!!! Now we can watch the man testify in a court room about how innocent he is when he's seen on video encouraging people to enter the Capital building. Add to that, there has been quite a few people who have had their lives turned upside down for doing a lot less then poor Mr. Epps. I don't know if this man is, was or will be a federal agent in the future, but his presence and his actions that day are very suspicious to say the least.

  23. Let's see his W2s for last 10 years

  24. He can sew all he wants. The evidence against him is overwhelming.

  25. Imagine Ray Epps never being charged or investigated even after all the videos of him
