‘Apparently He Broke No Laws’ Adam Kinzinger Attempts to Resolve Ray Epps Mystery, Thomas Massie Not Convinced

U.S. House Rep Adam Kinzinger (IL), who serves on the House Jan. 6 Select Committee after being appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), attempted today to resolve the mystery of Ray Epps.

Epps was removed from the FBI’s most-wanted list yet was seen in videos encouraging Trump supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol, including one who showed him right at the barriers when they were first broken down.

In a seven-part thread that also included an additional reply, Kinzinger claimed of Epps that he didn’t enter the Capitol and was removed from the list because “Apparently he broke no laws.”

U.S. House Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY), however, was not convinced by Kinzinger’s explanation of the situation and let him know in a quote tweet.

Massie wondered, “So now the @January6thCmte thinks it’s fine to encourage, organize, and direct people to go into the Capitol?”

“Hmmm, Thanks for clearing that up @RepKinzinger,” Massie told him.

Kinzinger’s RAY EPPS THREAD:

1) I know this will break some hearts. For a few months, people like Tucker Carlson, MTG, Gaetz, and now Cruz have been “just asking questions” about a man named Ray Epps.

2) He was on video the day before Jan 6 saying “we’re going INTO the capitol!” The some in the crowd chanted “fed fed fed.” Why? Who knows, maybe they knew he was videoed talking about breaking into the Capitol the day before it was to happen and wanted to create distance?

3) Regardless, he was put on the FBI wanted list, then removed. Because of all of that, the conspiracy that he was an FBI agent has been gospel on the blogs and shows. -side note- this is why we have to address conspiracies not ignore them.

4) He didn’t enter the Capitol on Jan 6, and was removed from the most wanted list because apparently he broke no laws. I’m pretty sure the FBI wouldn’t be dumb enough to put their own agent on a wanted list. Ray Epps has cooperated with the Jan 6 committee and we thank him

5) on the broader issue. Let’s say Ray was an agent (HE IS NOT), the premise is that one agent can gin up a crowd to insurrection. That isn’t saying much about the intelligence of your voters is it Ted? The rioters had formal education, owned businesses etc. they knew.

6) An FBI informant is someone that is paid by or turned by law enforcement as they build broader cases. Informants are usually criminals that turn to save their own butt. An informant is not an agent. But Ted wants you to think it is. RAY is NO informant either.

7) The narrative on Jan 6 has been that it’s first antifa, or patriots who love their country, maybe crisis actors, def false flag operatives, or now FBI agents. Take your pick. Truth is they were rioters incited by lies. And RAY is no fed. Just another misled man.

“While it may break hearts, it’s true. So many are misled by so few. Just look up,” Kinzinger concluded.
