January 6th protesters shouted in unison "Fed, fed, fed" when Epps kept urging them to break into the Capital

Top federal law enforcement officials have declined to answer numerous questions about Ray Epps, the Arizona resident captured on video encouraging Jan. 6 protestors to breach Capitol Hill. Controversy has surrounded Epps in recent months due to questions about his possible connection to law enforcement. Despite video evidence of him making repeated calls for action, Epps has not been charged in relation to Jan. 6, and his photo has been removed from the government's list of most wanted people from that event. The Democratic-led House committee investigating Jan. 6 reportedly said Jan. 11 that it has interviewed Epps, and that Epps denied any connection to law enforcement. But at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier that day, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) were unsuccessful in obtaining answers about Epps. Cruz asked the FBI's assistant director for national security, Jill Sanborn, 10 questions about Epps and other potential undercover feds, none of which received substantial answers.

When Cruz asked whether Epps worked with the FBI, Sanborn declined to answer—likewise for when Cruz asked about whether federal informants participated in the riots, encouraged the riots, or removed barriers. "I cannot answer that," Sanborn said to each query. Cruz pressed further. "Five seconds after Mr. Epps whispered to a person, that same person began forcibly tearing down the barricades.

Did Mr. Epps urge them to tear down the barricades?" Cruz asked."Similar to the other answers, I cannot answer that," Sanborn replied. Cotton asked a similar line of questions, this time directed towards Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, the head of DOJ's national security branch. Olsen said he wasn't aware of any plain-clothes officers among the Jan. 6 crowd, and that he didn't know whether any undercover agents entered the Capitol.

"Your answers are all, 'I don't know,'" Cotton said... Olsen also said he didn't have any information about Epps. "This was a man on the most-wanted page for six months. Do you really expect us to believe that you don't know anything about him?" Cotton asked. "I simply don't have any information at all," Olsen responded. When pressed further, Olsen said he couldn't say how many rioters were arrested for crimes related to violence, or even name a single person from the government's list of most wanted Capitol Hill rioters. "This is a hearing to mark the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6, and you can't even tell us how many people have been charged with crimes of violence. Would you go into a briefing with the attorney general and not be able to answer such basic questions?"...

Epps ... reportedly said of his comments caught on video: "The only thing that meant is we would go in the doors like everyone else. Following the hearing, right-wing pundits took to Twitter to congratulate Cruz and Cotton for their questions. Cruz had been dragged through the coals by Fox News host Tucker Carlson a week earlier for referring to the Capitol Hill riots as "domestic terrorism." The Jan. 6 Committee reportedly issued the following statement shortly after the hearing: "Committee is aware of unsupported claims that Ray Epps was an FBI informant based on the fact that he was on the FBI Wanted list and then was removed from that list without being charged.

Some may ask why this is still being discussed, but the fact is we might be on to something - but only if 'Ray Epps' is not laid to rest, and this matter not forgotten about. The FBI must be exposed. Is that a homemade Trump cap Epps is wearing?
