interesting......did they ask him why he didn't attend the protest he drove across the country for?.....
I guess we will have to wait for the release of the transcript to find out.

It is illegal to encourage people to commit a crime, and Epps did that on video repeatedly.
I guess we will have to wait for the release of the transcript to find out.
In photos from the Daily Mail story, Epps is wearing a Marines cap and the first Revolver post says that he served in that branch of the military. A spokesman for the Marines confirmed to us that there is a service record for Epps that matches his name and birthdate, which we got from a Pennsylvania arrest record for trespassing in 2015.
The website for his wedding business says that he spent most of his career in construction.
Epps has also been involved with the Oath Keepers, an organization founded in 2009 that describes itself as defending the U.S. Constitution and says on its website that members “will not obey” orders they deem to be unconstitutional.
The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have each classified the Oath Keepers as an anti-government extremist organization.
Members of the Oath Keepers have been charged in what prosecutors allege was a wide-ranging conspiracy to breach the Capitol and stop the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6.
The organization’s founder, Stewart Rhodes, hasn’t been criminally charged, and a lawyer for one of the defendants in the conspiracy case told the judge in December that the uncertainty over whether or not he will be is hampering her ability to plan for trial.
Update, Jan. 13: On Jan. 13, the Justice Department announced seditious conspiracy charges against Rhodes and 10 members of the Oath Keepers.
The congressional committee investigating the Capitol attack subpoenaed Rhodes on Nov. 23, and he was also named in a civil suit brought by seven officers who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Epps hasn’t been charged with any crimes relating to the riot and we don’t know if he is currently a member of the organization. But in 2011 he was pictured with Rhodes and identified as president of the Oath Keepers’ Arizona chapter on a website called Freedom’s Phoenix. He was also identified as the president of that chapter in a post on the Oath Keepers’ website that year.
So you didn't know that your "story" about the grandmother sitting in jail was false.
and you don't know that your "story" about Ray Epps is false.
I see a pattern here in your credulity.
What "story" about Ray Epps? If you are talking about him testifying you then failed to answer why he was not charged. He is visibly inciting a crowd to go into the Capital bldg on at least two occasions. If in fact, Epps was not a Federal agent, that makes him a ripe target for further investigation and potential charges. If he was a Federal agent, I would suspect the committee's actions would be to ignore Epps actions. Guess what they have chosen to do?
This has been answered. It is not a violation of any law to tell someone to go into the Capitol 12-24 hours before someone goes into the Capitol. In order to incite a riot the words have to result in an imminent riot.
You can't charge someone with a crime when what they did isn't a crime but is only an exercise of their free speech. If you have evidence of a conspiracy by Epps with others then by all means tell us what that evidence is and who the conspirators were.
Was Epps on the grounds of the Capitol? Yes. So were about 5,000-10,000 other people that haven't been charged.

Epps should have been arrested and charged. But, the whole thing is meaningless and of interest only to right wing fascists who want Trump to take over the government with violence.
Unlikely he was then, but he certainly is one now. He's singing like a canary about the WSE terrorists, how they work, who's in them, funding, weapons caches, etc.What I believe is Epps was a federal agent and I base that on the videos presented with his over the top encouragement to the crowd and the very conspicuous lack of interest he seems to have drawn from the committee and the media compared to grandma getting arrested.

People who act as witnesses for the Feds get deals. The idiots who don't cut a deal, will burn for their actions on 1/6.
All the WSE members are going to regret they ever participated in an anti-American terrorist group.

It is if you are encouraging them to illegally enter that building.
It is illegal to encourage people to commit a crime, and Epps did that on video repeatedly.
not for ray epps, apparently.
shut your double standard hole.
Or anybody else. Show us a conviction for a person who merely encouraged somebody to do something even though they clearly were not inclined to follow him.

It is not illegal to encourage people to commit a crime unless you can prove they committed that crime as a result of your speech and in the case of a riot it must usually involve emotional content and imminent action.
Yelling fire in a theater... Same thing here. There was a riot on Jan 6. Epps is on lots of video egging on the crowd and encouraging violence and law breaking. That pretty much makes him an accomplice.
