1. I didn't "assert" about the Epps story, I PROVED it to be bogus propaganda using a collection of valid, documented FACTS. See, if you had actually read the contents of the source carefully and comprehensively, you would have seen the internal links for documentation.
2. You think trying to isolate various articles with out of context quotes accompanied BY YOUR BIAS OPINION is proof that Epps is a legitimate story. Hint: it isn't, because the intellectually honest reader will read the contents of my link carefully and comprehensively to see your folly.
3. D'Souza as a source??!?! A convicted criminal with a documented history of right wing bias and lies. Puh-leeze!
4. Again, your personal conclusions are of no consequence because you just re-arrange and edit out information available to suit your agenda. That dog of yours won't fly.
If the FBI removes a picture, it means its agents no longer need the public’s assistance in identifying him, Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor who was an advisor to former FBI Director James B. Comey, told us in a phone interview.
There are many reasons that the FBI would remove Epps’ photo without filing charges during an ongoing investigation, Richman said, including that he may have spoken to investigators and clarified his role or that he is cooperating with investigators and may implicate others.
“It’s very much a work in progress from the government’s perspective,” said Richman, who also was a consultant to the Department of Justice.
It’s worth noting that Epps’ picture isn’t the only one the FBI has removed. The bureau has also removed photos of individuals numbered 310, 311 and 312, for example. In other cases, the FBI has labeled those in the pictures as having been arrested — individual number 313 is an example of that.
The most common charge for those arrested following Jan. 6 is entering or remaining in a restricted federal building, so it’s also noteworthy that none of the videos included in Revolver’s posts show Epps inside the Capitol building. In fact, two of them appear to show Epps trying to mitigate confrontation between protesters and police outside.
Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney who co-chaired the attorney general’s advisory committee’s terrorism and national security subcommittee, told us something similar to Richman in an email.
“It is quite possible that insufficient evidence exists to charge him with a crime, either because his conduct did not amount to criminal behavior or the facts cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” she said. “It could also be that he has agreed to cooperate, and so any charges are being deferred until prosecutors are able to assess the value of his cooperation.”
McQuade also noted that inciting violence at a protest would violate the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operation Guide, which, she said, “prohibits the FBI from interfering https://www.factcheck.org/2022/01/ja...bout-ray-epps/
All of what you're claiming hinges on this: "Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor who was an advisor to former FBI Director James B. Comey, told us in a phone interview.". Everything you claim does, and that's not facts or anything, that's just what
he says, ergo..no real evidence. Nothing but an argument from authority fallacy with literally zero evidence. The evidence speaks as to otherwise. And it's not like the FBI doesn't violate a lot of things. (these days)
The 4th amendment, entrapment laws; The FBI doesn't care about the Constitution.
You lose.
I do wish you would stop lying about the content of articles, Matt. Anyone with a high school GED can read ALL the evidence and see the conclusion that the Epps defense is nothing more than hear-say, myopic views and basic BS.
Oh, and your final sentence drops titles and such, but you cannot logically PROVE these violations beyond your opinion. Epps was videoed in his participation in Jan. 6th....he did provide testimony to the Select Committee. He was a participant...perhaps not an organizer. The conspiracy against him just don't add up https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...6-committee-crazy-conspiracy-theori-rcna63615
