Meet Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur Who Appears To Have Led The Very First 1/6 Attack On The U.S. Capitol

Revolver.News Header

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. Massieโ€™s video above is in fact far more shocking than even the good Congressman implies in the hearing. Itโ€™s a story so strange, and so scandalous at every turn, that it threatens to shatter the entire official narrative of the โ€œCapitol Breachโ€ and expose yet another dimension of proactive federal involvement in the so-called โ€œinsurrectionโ€ of January 6th.

If Revolver Newsโ€™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.

Here is a transcript of Thomas Massieโ€™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 heโ€™ll probably go to jail, heโ€™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 Iโ€™m not going to violate this norm of, uh, of, of, of, the rule of law.

[Looks down and away]

Iโ€™m not going to comment on an investigation thatโ€™s ongoing.

There is good reason why AG Garland ran from Massieโ€™s question faster than he could find words โ€” and why he couldnโ€™t even keep eye contact as he was dodging Massieโ€™s gaze.

After months of research, Revolverโ€™s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitolโ€™s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the โ€œbreach teamโ€ that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. Whatโ€™s more, Epps and his โ€œbreach teamโ€ did all their dirty work with 10 minutes still remaining in President Trumpโ€™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 Eppsโ€™s role in the events of January 6.

Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals โ€” many of them suspiciously unindicted โ€” 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.

Corroborating Ray Eppsโ€™s Identity

Identifying the individual in Thomas Massieโ€™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 Zuckerbergโ€™s social media app, under his real name.

On Facebook, Epps posted photos of himself boating, on horseback, and bear-hunting with a crossbow.
