Flotsam and Jetsam - Epps Charged with Disorderly Conduct, Hunter Pleads Not Guilty

Ace

The Democrat's favorite J6 rioter, Ray Epps, well known for being caught on video exhorting a crowd to enter the Capitol on J5, and actually being on site at J6 urging people to push through the barriers and entering the restricted grounds himself, has apparently reached a sweetheart deal with the DOJ, whereby he will likely plead guilty to a single misdemeanor count of "disorderly conduct" and will probably receive no jail time, which doesn't sit well with those who think he may have been an agent provocateur. At Da Caller,  Ray Epps Charged With A Misdemeanor For His Alleged Role In January 6th Riot. At Town Hall,  Spencer Brown, Here's What Ray Epps Was Just Charged With for His Role in January 6.
