Surprise! Ray Epps Gets No Jail Time, Just Probation, as Judge Colludes with DOJ to Set Fed Agent Free

Unbelievable -- except, of course, it was inevitable.

The government and judge admitted that usually conduct like Ray Epps' would "warrant jail time" -- but the federal government said he "engaged in de-escalation tactics" (when he urged people to go "INTO the Capitol?") and the judge said that he had already suffered enough because of "conspiracy theories" that he was some kind of fed.

No, of course not -- he's just a guy the feds fight to get probation for and make false claims for.

From Radix Verum:

@NotRadix
Attended Ray Epps sentencing today - what a farce.
Thread

The prosecutor praised Epps "de-escalation tactics" and had a whole slide show for it entitled "Attempts to De-escalate."
Both Judge Boasberg and the prosecutor both claimed "he never tried to go into the Capitol."

No, he didn't go into the Capitol -- he just urged others to go.

And the government has put a lot of "insurrectionists" in jail who never entered the Capitol. In those cases, they claimed that not actually being present in the Capitol did not mitigate their crimes.

But here, they flip the script completely to absolve Ray Epps, who is not, and I must stress this, a federal agent. Not even a little bit.

The prosecutor claimed he struggled and that he could give Epps a felony with a low sentence or a misdemeanor with a high sentence.
The prosecutor claimed Ray Epps case was a "unique and complicated case," I don't see how.

The only unique thing in the case is the government's determination to set him free, a position they decidedly did not take with a thousand other people.

I also don't see any other J6 defendant getting this type of special treatment where a prosecutor claims their case is "unique."

Because they're not federal agents.

The prosecutor said they used their prosecutorial discretion to choose to charge Epps with misdemeanor - despite that same prosecutor arguing 10 minutes before that Epps had engaged in felonious conduct.
The government agreed with Ray Epps defense lawyers arguments regarding mitigating factors for Epps lol

Now here is where Epps and his lawyers argue for leniency, claiming that he's a victim of "widespread conspiracy theories" and shouldn't be punished futher.

Unbelievably -- by which I mean, "inevitably" -- the judge agrees that, and I quote, the important thing is not what happened on January 6, but "what happened after."

Weird, I never heard another judge passing sentence on a J6er arguing that what happened on January 6th didn't matter.

Epps and his lawyers along with the government and Judge Boasberg all agreed Ray Epps was the victim of "widespread conspiracy theories."

The DOJ themselves admitted they were giving Epps a "significant break."
The prosecutor argued "6 months is the appropriate sentence."
The prosecution then proceeded to praise Epps - claiming he actually SUPPORTED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS that day.
Epps lawyers pointed out Epps called the FBI almost immediately on 1/08/2021 and that he gave voluntary statements and cooperated.

What do you call someone who cooperates with the feds and gives evidence against others...?

Oh right -- a federal agent.

Epps was allowed to speak and he said the FBI had "nothing to do with what happened on January 6th," he blamed @FoxNews for "peddling election integrity conspiracy theories," and he blamed Trump.
He then said that he believes January 6, 2021 was an "insurrection."

Oh, it wasn't Ray Epps who told people to "go INTO the Capitol" -- it was Fox News.

And of course he continues acting as a fed agent by peddling their line that every other person present at the Capitol that day, EXCEPT for Ray Epps, was an "insurrectionist."

Epps lawyer claimed people called Epps a "boomer" on January 5 when Epps was recorded on video urging rally attendees to go into the Capitol the next day. Baked Alaska and others started changing "fed fed fed," but Epps lawyer claimed Epps was trying to "de-escalate" and that "Baked Alaska and others didn't listen to him [Epps]."

By calling him a "boomer," this lawyer intends to suggest that the ringleader Ray Epps didn't know what was going on because the Internet, it's so confusing, amirite?

Epps lawyer made the claim Epps "just said we should go down to the Capitol," and claimed he never told people to go in - the government did not dispute this claim.

Despite this being on video.

We have seen video evidence that contradicts this though.
Epps lawyer then made a big thing about how Epps in a post J6 interview with a citizen journalist talked about what happened on J6 being "symbolic."
His lawyer said to Epps it was just a "symbolic amplification of his voice," to Epps.
Then Ray Epps lawyer made an ASTOUNDING ADMISSION: he claims that after reviewing footage of Epps and his conduct the government made a FORMAL DECISION IN 2021 NOT TO CHARGE EPPS WITH ANYTHING.

Huh. Like with Hunter Biden.

He then claims Epps is being unfairly treated now with the government giving his a misdemeanor show charge.

Again, like Hunter Biden.

Epps lawyer argued that probation for him as a sentence would promote "accountability."

LOL.

Epps in his statement not only lashed out at Fox News but he lashed out at what he called the "Trump Cult," who he blames for his conduct.
He then praised the FBI and antifa saying conclusively they had "no involvement" in January 6 and that only "angry trump supporters," were part of the "mob."
Epps said the 2020 election was "not stolen" and that he wants to spend the rest of his life trying to explain that to other

All part of his deal -- support the claims of the Criminal State.

He wants to speak about the "truth of the election results," and he assured Judge Boasberg he no longer gets his information from "Fox News" and he trusts the government.

Great, so no jail time then!

Judge Boasberg praised the government for being "balanced" in their presentation.

Judge Boasberg claimed Epps initial conduct "probably warranted jail time," but then cited his extensive cooperation with the government, J6 farce Committee, etc and other "mitigating factors" to give Epps a sentence of 12 months probation and NO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS.
He then called January 6 an "insurrection," and he slammed "conspiracy theorists," who claimed the FBI was involved. Judge Boasberg says more important than Epps conduct on January 6 was "what happened after," and he cited Epps and his wife as "victims" of these conspiracy theories and "harassment," which he claims is at a level he hasn't "seen before."

So there you have it - Epps is a "unique and complicated" case and is a "victim of widespread conspiracy theories," totally not an FBI informant, fed or working for a contractor that contracts with the feds which is why he got this amazing sweetheart deal and praise from the government and fisa judge lol

Addendum: forgot to add how Judge Boasberg disregarded the video played of Epps helping to push this massive Trump flag that was over 20 feet long into a line of Capitol Officers by claiming "anyone might put their hand up to protect their head if a big sign is coming."
That was actually amazing - I'm sure no other J6 defendant got this benefit of the doubt again that contrasts the video evidence of what happened that day.

LOL, they have video of him pushing a Trump flag towards the cops and the judge says "Oh he wasn't pushing the flag, he was just protecting his head from the famously-dangerous flag cloth, which kills 8700 people per year.

36 If they admit the obvious that he's a fed, then anyone who was convicted or forced into a plea bargain based on Epps' urging would have a cut and dry case of entrapment.

So they give him a zero-punishment "sentence" to act as cover.

(Note: Epps is likely not a "fed" in the sense of being actually employed by the government, but is obviously an informant or other unofficial agent.)

72 - They had to charge him to protect him from the unlikely possibility that a patriot would run DOJ before statute of limitations on his crimes.

- They could not charge him with anything real, or there was (possibly?) a threat that he would turn around and claim that HE was entrapped by his instructions by higher ups to do what he did. That would blow the whole thing wide open.

So they could not ignore, but could not throw him under the bus. What a dilemma.

So instead they paid him off (very well I assume) and got the bonus of rubbing this farce in our faces.

We should have run Haley or DeSantis!"

Getting a reaction is always the long-term goal.

Every time the right reacts to their provocations, they can use that to clamp down a little further, to remove a few more liberties.

If they can make the right react strongly enough, they can declare an emergency and do whatever they want "for the duration of the crisis".

There will hit a point of enough ratcheting and enough false emergencies where they'll have the power to dispense with the pretense that this is still a free republic.

Instead of people saying "Let's burn down _____" except for their fellow agents who post that, they get to read comments about the misuse of apostrophes or about babes and boobs or peoples' problems with insomnia or what kind of pets they have or what they're cooking for dinner ,or what sports team they root for. Do they go home and report this to their wives? ...

If you want my honest and sincere guess, I think it has a different outcome.

One of the things that makes the HQ a fun place to comment is that we're real people. It's a political blog, but that isn't *all* it is. This is actually a potential problem for the spies. Unlike places like Daily Kos, for example, more goes on here and it's more real. That presents a risk of humanization and a key rule is to *never* humanize your opponent. That is probably a bit difficult to do here.

So if anything, all that stuff you're talking about is probably the subject not of chatting at home, but of aggressive development of psychological tactics to improve their ruthlessness.

However, Boasberg said that some of the charges that they landed on were assaulting a federal officer and sedition, which is the crime of creating a revolt. Boasberg said that as of now, prosecutors have already charged around 1,300 people. They expect to charge an additional 35 people per month through 2024, totaling approximately 500 additional people.

“Right now where they are drawing the line is if you went into the Capitol or assaulted people outside,” Boasberg said. “They’re [no longer] going to charge you if you didn’t go in or you didn’t assault anyone.”

297 Okay, need some help from the horde: As many know, Arizona's election board just issued "guidance" saying "people" (never "illegals," eh?) could vote in that state without any proof of citizenship. The so-called "catch" was that if they didn't provide any proof, and weren't in the DMV database, they'd only be given a "federal ballot," which is just what you think.
....Immediately the swarm of Dem shills and liars bleated "NOoo, dat not whut yew think, cuz dey haz ta show proof of citizenship to *register*! So GFY, deplorables!"
....Then a guidance shows up from a pro-illegal website saying you do NOT have to show "documentary proof of citizenship" (DPOC) to register.
....So as a last resort the shills bleated "Well duh Constitution says you can only vote in fed elections if you're a citizen." But once that secret, unsigned ballot is in the box, you can't tell citizen ballots from non-citizen, eh?
....Some state MUST sue Arizona NOW, because if not, Dems will win there due to the illegal vote. State to state suits go right to the SC. If no state sues NOW, after the election the courts won't even investigate.
