Have you seen the context to Ray Epps's "admission" that he "orchestrated" Jan 6th?

[goaded]

According to some people, one man is responsible for Jan 6th. That man's name is Ray Epps. Which is odd, because everyone there was there for Trump and his supporters spent millions of dollars on getting people there.

I don believe a single word of Ray Epps, the guy is on video saying MULTIPLE times “Tomorrow we go INSIDE the capitol” now suddenly when he testifying before Congress he is Mr. Goodie two shoes “oh I was just sickened by what these morons were doing” Not to mention all the leading questions! He is right here, telling people to BREACH the capitol!

Sorry, but I believe what he DID, WAAAAAY more than what he told the House Commission on January 6th, what he did!

He also says they should get themselves arrested, which sounds like a sit-in, not a riot. And also "peacefully" at least three times while others shout "fed" at him. Trump says "peacefully" once in a very long speech, and he's completely exonerated by the right.

Well I’m not on the “Right” never have been, and I never will be! I also can’t stand Trump, so please do NOT lump me in w/ those lunatics! I just believe that there is WAAAAY too many fishy things about this Ray Epps character! And I’m sorry, Am I REQUIRED to believe what Ray Epps told congress? Jack Dorsey and Vajaya Gadde (? sp) told congress that they do not single out conservative users for removal. They testified that they do not “shadow ban” and that they have never worked with any federal agency, except as it relates to ongoing criminal investigations… yet we now know NONE of that is even remotely true! Just because someone says it to Congress does not mean it is true!
However, THIS is why I usually avoid political discussions on GaG like the friggin plague! I’m as apolitical as it gets, I think BOTH parties are just out for their own enrichment and don’t care about anyone or anything but their own financial security! I think I will go back to my prior stance. I just did not believe in my wildest imagination, that anyone would ever shill for Ray Epps! Especially when he’s on camera agitating the crowd to enter the Capital (which is a crime) and is seen whispering to the first man to breach the capital grounds TWO SECONDS before the guy actually attacks a police officer and breaches the Capital grounds! Yeah the guy is a saint!

I never said he was a saint, I said that you have to ignore a lot of context in order to believe he orchestrated the attack or even wanted anything like what happened.

He never entered the Capitol, he told people not to fight the police, he repeatedly said "peacefully" when he was talking about going into the Capitol, and it really doesn't sound like he was convincing anyone around him when he was saying it, does it?

All of that context is missing from the propaganda that's being posted about him. That doesn't happen by accident.

Thank you for the MHO. I appreciate that.

It's all part of the conversation.

Seems a bit unlikely. Jan 6th was less political and more America's unaddressed mental health crisis exploding

[goaded]

Oh, I don't think he's nuts, just wrong and misinformed. The only reason there was any doubt about the election is that Trump was creating that doubt, but he can't see that simple truth.

[DryGermanGuy]

With the idea that history is repeating itself, this feels a bit like the story of Donald Segretti after Watergate. Some people tried to pin the whole mess on him.

[goaded]

I'd never heard of him. At least he was found guilty of something.

Watch the film (or read the book) „All the President‘s Men“ by Woodward and Bernstein.
