Tucker Carlson dares Jan. 6 committee to affirm Ray Epps wasn't working with any government agency

[Washington Examiner] Fox News host Tucker Carlson challenged the House committee investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, to declare that Ray Epps was not working with any government agency.

He raised the question Tuesday in response to the select panel issuing a statement that said it interviewed Epps, an Arizona resident and a former president of the Arizona Oath Keepers militia group seen on video urging people to march to the U.S. Capitol in the hours leading up to the riot, and Epps claimed he was not an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.

"Would the committee be willing to broaden that statement and affirm in writing that Ray Epps wasn't working with any government agency, law enforcement or otherwise? That would be a very simple change to make. Let's see if they make it. Let's see if Republicans will force them to make it," Carlson said.

Epps had been on the FBI's Capitol Violence most wanted list before he was removed without explanation after nearly six months. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republican members on the Jan. 6 committee, tweeted that Epps was taken off the list "because apparently he broke no laws." He also said Epps "has cooperated and is nothing but a Jan 6 protest attendee, in his own words."

Would love to see Carlson dare the gov't to affirm Jeffrey Epstein wasn't working with any government agency.

#2 because apparently he broke no laws.

If the Congressman knew that, how strange the FBI person (yesterday) didn't.

#3 The intro says it all: "Apparently, there was no law against that..."

#4 Kinzinger is a Dem, masquerading as a RINO. He's unemployed after this term

#5 Sen. Cruz asked the same thing and the answer was essentially 'I can't say.' Apparently Epps was well-enough briefed to know to just incite and urge forward others but to stay outside himself.

My bet is that there's a cushy spot waiting for him at some liberal media outfit, where he gets to play the fake Republican whose shtick is taking shots at the GOP.
