During
his expose regarding the occurrences on January 6th, 2021, Tucker
Carlson covered the curious circumstances surrounding Ray Epp.
Epps
was seen on camera inciting Trump supporters to go into the Capitol the night
before the Jan. 6 protests.

Carlson
reported Epp sent a text to his nephew claiming he ‘orchestrated it’.
This
is most certainly a suspicious claim to make at that juncture when temperatures
were running very high.
Carlson
also revealed that when Epps was interviewed by the January 6th House
Select Committee, where he claimed that was to be proceeding back to his hotel in D.C. when he sent the
text.
Carlson then showed footage of Epps at the Capitol for at least half an hour after his text.
Carlson
noted, lying to congressional investigators is a crime, yet Epps was given a
pass.
The fact that the January 6th Committee chose to interview Ray Epps is also very curious. The Committee interviewed only anti-Trump voices and during their show trial allowed testimony of anti-Trump voices, Trump's lawyers weren't given the democratic right to question witnesses.
Why would the committee interview Epps who they claim be a Trump supporter?
Carlson asked basic journalistic questions about Epps’s motives and activities on January 6th, 2021, and made some factual assertions.
Carlson
noted that, unlike many others, Epps wasn’t charged or subjected
to solitary confinement and other serious punishments.
That
is not the only singular aspect of Epp’s case.
Last
year during a Senate
Judiciary Committee, FBI's national security branch, Jill Sanborn simply refused
to answer a question from Senator
Ted Cruz if Epps was an FBI agent.
If Epp
wasn’t an FBI agent, Sanborn would have vehemently, emphatically, and
unequivocally made a statement to that effect.
She
would also have excoriated Cruz for implying that the FBI was somehow
involved in the ‘armed and dangerous insurrection’ on January 6th, 2021.
But
instead, she dodged the question completely.
This is
the standard maneuver applied by witnesses attempting to conceal facts while under oath. If one blatantly lies
it amounts to perjury, which federal law classifies as a felony and it could
cause a prison sentence of up to five years.
Hence Sanborn
merely dodged the question.
This dodge
in a response to such grave allegations could be seen as proof of guilt.

So
what is Ray Epp up to now?
The NBC
News reports Epp’s lawyer Michael Teter sent a letter to Tucker Carlson and Fox News general counsel
Bernard Gugar demanding a retraction and apology from Carlson
In the
letter, Michael Teter, a lawyer for Epps, said the Fox News host “persists with
his assault on the truth” by pushing “fanciful notions” regarding Epps’
involvement in the Capitol attack that has “demonstrably false.”
Teter
demanded that Carlson and Fox News publicly retract the claim that Epps was
working for the federal government during the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and the
claim that Epps “acted as an instigator or provocateur of the insurrection.”
“We
expect that you will give the same airtime in retracting these falsehoods as
you spent amplifying them,”
“Further,
Mr. Carlson and Fox News must issue a formal on-air apology for the lies you
have spread about Mr. Epps.”
Teter
claimed Carlson’s coverage caused Epps
and his wife to be the victims of “threats,
intimidation, and harassment, resulting in significant economic and emotional
damages”
Teter
also noted the scrutiny Fox News is being subjected to over Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against
the network.
Dominion
sued Fox last March accusing the network of defamation and for boosting
conspiracy theories that knew were false, such as Dominion equipment was used
to rig the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Teter
wrote. “But fear of losing viewers by telling them the truth is not a defense
to defamation and false light.”
None of the mainstream media outlets have reported on the background of Michael Teter.
His Linkedin
Page revealed that he is an alumnus of Perkins Coie LLC.
Perkins
Coie is the law firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National
Committee.
Perkins
Coie, as part of its representation of the Clinton campaign and the DNC,
retained services of the intelligence firm Fusion GPS for opposition research services that began in April 2016 and concluded before the election in
early November.”
Fusion
GPS hired former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Steele authored
the dodgy Steele Dossier which was replete with conspiracy theories and hearsay.
The
Steele dossier was passed on to politicized government agencies which used it
as one of the reasons to spur the Mueller probe.
Last
March, the Federal
Election Commission fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000 and
the Democratic National Committee $105,000 for 'mislabeling' the expense on
Perkins Coe as legal services
Teter is currently an Executive Director for Facts First USA which was founded by disgraced Democrat operative David Brock.
Fact
First USA, which is a Democrat outfit claims its mission is to “proactively
engage and respond to the MAGA-Majority’s abuse of the congressional oversight
process by defending and counterpunching – sometimes surgically, sometimes
broadly, but always methodically.”
Who is
Brock?
David
Brock is the founder of the far-left organization Media Matters.
Brock
was an integral part of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016.
Brock
attacked Bernie Sanders during the primary, implying he was a racist.
Brock
gave
$200,000 to ‘feminist’ lawyer Lisa Bloom in the final stretch of the
2016 presidential race hoping she could publicize sexual misconduct allegations
against Donald Trump. Brock even
claimed that 'Trump is the last stand of the angry white man.
Michael Teter is also Managing Director of The 65 Project, another Democrat organization that claims to be a “bi-partisan effort to protect democracy and preserve the rule of law by deterring future attacks on our electoral system.” Whom do they name as the threat to Democrats? President Trump. Brock is part of this enterprise as well.
Cleary
Teter stands vehemently against Trump, like most Democrats are, and is a top player
in the Democrat party.
Yet he is defending Epps, whom they all insist is a Trump supporter.
It seems obvious that Ray Epps is merely the shoulder that these Democrat operatives are using to rest their rifle that is directed against Tucker Carlson and Fox News.
The Democrats seem to have smelled blood with the Dominion
lawsuit and are now ganging up on Fox News.
They hope that if Fox News loses the case and is compelled to pay some of the heavy fines to the
likes of Dominion and Epps, it may collapse and a major contrarian voice will
be silenced.
