GOP Demands Answers: Jan 6 Committee, FBI Won’t Release Info on Suspected Fed Informant Ray Epps

Published

The mystery of Ray Epps continues to grow. Multiple videos of Epps have surfaced showing him repeatedly demanding pro-Trump rioters should enter the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Epps’ involvement has led many to speculate that he was an FBI plant who incited the January 6th insurrection. One video of Epps shows Trump supporters shouting “no” to his suggestion of entering the Capitol and even begin to shout that he is a “fed.”

Texas Representative Ronny Jackson tweeted Thursday, “Who’s Ray Epps? Why did he mysteriously disappear from the FBI wanted list? Why can’t we see what he said to the Cheney/Pelosi Witch Hunt committee? Was the FBI involved in any way in planning 1/6? Why won’t they answer ANY of these questions? Something is NOT right here!”

A lot of questions need to be answered in deed. Jackson’s tweet comes after Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

Cruz got zero answers from Sanborn’s testimony, only causing further curiosity about Epps; just as Jackson suggests. The New York Post transcribed some of the testimony, as follows:

“A lot of Americans are concerned that the federal government deliberately encouraged illegal and violent conduct on Jan . 6 ,” Cruz (R-Texas) told Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director of the FBI’s national security branch during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

“My question to you – – and this is not an ordinary law enforcement question, this is a question of public accountability — did federal agents or those in service of federal agent s actively encourage violent and criminal conduct on Jan. 6 ?” he asked.

 Sanborn responded by saying she couldn’t disclose “sources and methods.”

“Ms. Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?” asked Cruz after stating that Epps was captured on video the night of Jan. 5, 2021 rousing people to “get into the Capitol.”

“Sir, I cannot answer that question,” replied Sanborn, who added that she was “aware of the individual,” but didn’t have “specific background” on him.

Cruz went on and stated that on Jan. 6, Epps was seen talking to rioters moments before they ripped down police barricades outside the Capitol.

 Sanborn responded that she couldn’t answer whether Epps urged them to knock down the barricades.

Cruz then noted that Epps initially appeared on a poster issued by the FBI seeking information about people connected to criminal activity on Jan. 6, but was absent from another FBI “seeking information” poster distributed July 1.

Cruz then notes,  “magically, Mr. Epps disappeared from the public posting” and “according to public records, Mr. Epps has not been charged with anything. No one’s explained why a person videoed urging people to go to the Capitol, a person whose conduct was so suspect the crowd believed he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at.”

Even more curious, the January 6th Committee investigating the riot has simply said claims that Epps was an informant were “unsupported.” In a statement on Twitter, the panel said “Epps informed us that he was not employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on January 5th of 6th or at any time, & that he has never been an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.”

Yet the Committee will not release interview transcripts. Yet the Committee expects the American people to just accept their vague and useless tweet? No way.

John Blischak is the attorney for Epps, and told the Epoch Times that his client is not working with, or for the FBI. But…Blischak himself is a former FBI agent. Something smells fishy.

    Why hasn’t he been arrested as the other protesters were?

    This will put the DS in a pickle eventually! If they come out and tell us that Ray Epps was working for them, it blows their whole insurrection narrative. If they don’t come clean and provide the truth, they will be hounded for eternity for the answer and sooner or later the truth will come out. If Epps is charged because the DS gives in to the pressure, he will sing like a canary telling us that they made him do it for his job (if he doesn’t get Epsteined by the DS beforehand). This will not end well for the DS traitors!

    Demon-rats are an evil cult. They stage, infiltrate, and run phony investigations based on delusional conspiracies theories.

    The same corrupt FBI agents that plotted the fake kidnapping of a Democrat “ Victim” Governor are the same corrupt FBI agents who plotted the fake insurrection at the “House of Political Crime Families” in DC on Jan 6! FACT!

    With all the DIRECT EVIDENCE of Ray Epps telling people to “go into the Capitol” and his talking to the person who pushed the barrier down right after Ray Epps talked to him, it is obvious to all but the ignorant Ray Epps was an instigator of the January 6 situation. Based on the FBI ALWAYS using a “STING OPERATION” as their main MODUS OPERANDI for setting up their past victims, I would say it is almost 100% certain Ray Epps, like in the Michigan Governor “fake” kidnapping, was an asset of the FBI or another Government Agency and “WE THE PEOPLE” need to DEMAND the truth from these crooks.

    More than enough reason to charge Epps with conspiracy. 100%!

      Can a member of congress charge or subpoena Epps?

    John Blischak is the attorney for Epps, and told the Epoch Times that his client is not working with, or for the FBI. That’s present tense. Was his client working, at any time in the past, with or for the CFBI (Criminal FBI)? FJB

    I thought that the Government was supposed to serve the American people. The FBI gets our tax money and our support but they need to be honest and open to the American people.
    Possibly manipulating a group of people on January 6 would be completely unacceptable. The FBI needs to answer these questions about Epps, etc so that we can continue trusting them. Epps needs to be located and appear under oath to testify about his role in January 6.

    It’s very clear that there were at least 5 members of the FBI who cleared the path up to the Capital steps prior to the crowd arriving. It is my contention that given all the law breaking by the FBI those in management positions show all be terminated if they had anything to do with Jan/6 and the Russian collusion hoax.

    Notice carefully the guy with the backwards MAGA cap who Epps was whispering in his ear. This guy then shoved the barricade aside and rushed forward. As Michael Yon showed in his interview with Joshua Phillip on his Epoch Times Crossroads channel a few weeks after Jan 6, the backwards MAGA cap was an identifier for Antifa provocateurs. Dozens of men (no women, of course) with the backwards cap were shoving aside barricades, pushing other people into tunnels (Virginia White, for instance) breaking windows, and scaling the steps sides with climbing gear (seriously, what Trump supporter would bring climbing gear to a protest? But Antifa shock troops would). They were there because the Feds brought them in their (caravan) of vans with blacked-out windows, also on video.

    Michael Yon, if you’ve never heard of him, is America’s most experienced war and conflict journalist – he has covered well over 500 conflicts, and is intimately familiar with Antifa tactics from having covered them in Portland, Kenosha, and many other places.

    It is quite obvious that Ray Epps knew exactly who he was speaking to, and undoubtedly said something like “time to ramp this up” to that guy just before he did exactly that. You can bet that guy in the backwards MAGA cap is NOT in the DC gulag, nor charged.

    Ray Epps was clearly egging on folks to take certain actions. There were also others that day whose conduct would suggest they were “fueling the fire” to get the assembled Trump supporters caught up in an eventual narrative which Pelosi and company were about to write. The January 6th Committee is a Soviet style sham. Unfortunately our FBI and DOJ continue to disgrace themselves by allowing themselves to be partisan weapons. The credibility of those in power has a eroded to a point where things are only going to get worse, much worse.

    If the “lawmakers” behind the Jaunary 6 Commission don’t want to charge Ray Epps they themselves should be charged for aiding and abetting a criminal. There is substantial evidence to support the claim.

    Maybe a better question is who is AG Merrick Garland? Evidence is placed in front of him and ignores the opportunity to set the record straight. He is corruption personified.

    There is disgusting and disgusting… but nothing is more disgusting than a hypocrite nation who’s “incorruptibles” are corrupt to the bone meanwhile telling the world they are a morale paradigm…a hypocrite nation who’s praising god-churches are infested by pedophiles… a nation denying abortion even to the victims of its perverts, priests, politicians, law-makers and illegals… there is nothing more disgusting that a bottomless shite hole called USA!

Report: Beijing’s military hacked U.S. nuclear firm before Hunter Biden aided Chinese bid to acquire it

Published

A bombshell report by Just the News explains that “U.S. officials were acutely aware that Beijing was trying to obtain America’s premiere nuclear reactor technology, including through illicit hacking, months before Hunter Biden and his business partners sought to arrange a quiet sale of an iconic U.S. reactor company to a Chinese firm, according to court records and national security experts.”

Hunter Biden attempted to assist CEFC China Energy to acquire Westinghouse, one of America’s most famous electricity and appliance brands, as well as its state-the-art AP1000 nuclear reactor.

Hunter began his work with the Chinese company in early 2016 – while Joe Biden was the sitting Vice President – memos show. According to a copy of the indictment, just 20 months earlier, his father’s Justice Department charged five members of a Chinese military hacking unit for breaching the company’s computer systems in search of intellectual property and internal strategy communications.

Just the News reports:

In May 2014, the five operatives of the People’s Liberation Army’s Unit 61398 were charged with hacking into the systems of six U.S.-based companies across different industrial sectors, including Westinghouse Electric Co., SolarWorld, United States Steel Corp., and a union. The attorney general at the time, Eric Holder, called the breach a classic case of “economic espionage.”

One operative gained access to Westinghouse’s computers in 2010 and “stole proprietary and confidential technical and design specifications related to pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing” pertaining to the company’s advanced AP1000 nuclear reactor design, according to an indictment filed by the Department of Justice.

“Among other things, such specifications would enable a competitor to build a plant similar to the AP1000 without incurring significant research and development costs associated with designing similar pipes, pipe supports, and pipe routing systems,” the indictment reads.

Just the News notes that while there is no evidence at the moment that Hunter Biden was aware of or involved in the hacking efforts by the Chinese, documents previously released by Congress in the Biden impeachment inquiry show Hunter Biden wrote in one text message in 2017 that he believed one of the CEFC officials he worked with, Patrick Ho, was the “f—ing spy chief” of China.

Ho was later indicted in the U.S. and charged with corruption. Joe Biden’s brother James told the FBI he believed CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming had a relationship with China’s communist president.
