NY Times Just Wants You to Know That It's 'Been Hell' for Ray Epps

2022-07-14

[Red State] Add one more question to the curious story about Ray Epps.

The NY Times just wrote a story about him, and they want us to know that it’s "been hell" for Epps. Indeed, here’s the title of their story: "’It’s Just Been Hell’: Life as the Victim of a Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theory."

Here’s what one of their other reporters tweeted about the story.

BLUF:
But he said that he had managed to avoid arrest because he reached out to the F.B.I. within minutes of discovering that agents wanted to speak with him.
"Reached out" aka contact plan (use the wire, not your phone).
On Jan. 8, 2021, just two days after the Capitol was attacked, Mr. Epps learned from a family member that the F.B.I. had issued a be-on-the-lookout alert in his name. He said he immediately called the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center, and his phone records show that he spoke to agents there for nearly an hour.
Great 'brief-back' Ray. Now, calm down. Yes, we know things got a little out of control, but that's our problem. Let things cool off for 30 days and meet us for the duel-session FACECOM in March as planned.
The F.B.I. has repeatedly declined to comment on Mr. Epps, but his account of calling the operations center — and of sitting down for a formal discussion with federal agents in March 2021 — is backed by transcripts of those interviews reviewed by The New York Times.

"If you know the identities or whereabouts of these two persons of interest. Contact the Boston office of the FBI Special Agent In Charge at the number on your television screen."

#10 The J6 flapdoodle is reaching a crecendo now because it goes away as soon as the dems lose the House.

#9 Article was geared to give the left a fig leaf to self-censor because they know the Ray Epps story is gaining traction and they need their people to not read about it and judge for themselves.

#8 His excuse for no charges didn't pass the smell test after so many that did far less spent over a year incommunicado awaiting trial.

#7 the F.B.I. had issued a be-on-the-lookout alert in his name.

That's inconsistent with #6 not having a name until his photo disappeared off the 'wanted list'.

#6 If the assassin is still living, it's a botched assassination.

#4 I'm surprised that he hasn't had the crap beat out of him by now.

#3 /\ No one. Simple cover story reinforcement. Ray is now the victim. If he loses it and shoots himself in the chest while hanging from a Maple tree, it can be attributed to mental stress, PTSD, and victim harassment.

#2 And NYT does no story on the incarceration conditions of the people Ray Epps entrapped on Jan 6.

Who exactly is asking about how Ray Epps is doing?

#1 ....and of sitting down for a formal discussion with federal agents in March 2021 — is backed by transcripts of those interviews reviewed by The New York Times.

Formal Project termination, legal briefings, non-disclosure session, and final payments.
