There is a preponderance of evidence, you just casually act like it doesn't matter. You would if you held a coherent world view. 2. Of course it is. I am telling you that I suspect things are not what they appear to be. I am giving you a fairly comprehensive list of things that seem to at least project doubt, but the only thing you will allow is the word of the authority in question. 3. Irrelevant. Whether it would have happened or not has nothing to do with the very real and clear evidence he was inciting a breach of the Capitol building for the purpose of stopping the peaceful transition of power. That's what you hate, right? Why aren't you pissed he's not in jail? 4. Conceded, but the point is that there was an elderly woman (69, recovering from breast cancer, and no prior criminal record) who received 2 months in jail for going into the Capitol Building as a citizen journalist. Seems excessive when we can see Epps contribution to the ordeal. You would like her... she's anti-Trump now. That's all that matters, right? 5. No. I mean this guy: Lawyer concedes Jan. 6 defendant's partial guilt in closing arguments - POLITICO. He was convicted off a text message he sent to his son saying he had a firearm on his possession, even though he and his lawyer denied it. What about his FACTS? Here's what we know. He was there. He texted his son that he was carrying, and he wanted to remove Pelosi. Sure. Crime. But the gun charge, on which he was convicted, there's zero real evidence. It's a case built solely on one text, even though he says he was just making tough talk. True or untrue, less burden of proof than you're asking of me for my suspicion that Epps was not a genuine protester. I dare you to find an article that doesn't explicitly claim he had a gun or even say he denied having one. Seriously, Google it. Try to find one. This is why your opinions are so warped. 6. Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner. Yes. This is my charge. You have a guy who, on video, did much worse than MANY of the people who have been charged. He was on the Most Wanted List. I mean, that's high level stuff. Now he's just free and never got prosecuted. What excuse could he possibly have that would exempt him from arrest? Considering the other evidence, that the FBI and Capitol Police had informants and agents in plain clothes on J6 in the crowd, Epps committed crimes observable on tape, that he was on the FBI's most wanted list for weeks after J6, and that he was largely rejected by other protesters and called a FED, it's at least plausible. It's not this crazy jump to make this assumption. You and everyone who want to disregard this question are the ones with inconsistent world views. Not me. 7. The power to question is the basis of all human progress. -Indira Gandhi. The moderates in this country, who don't ask the questions, are the reason this country is going to [BLEEP]. None of you. Not one, should be ok with the FBI looking at a congressperson and saying, "I can neither confirm nor deny if Epps was working with the federal government." What a load of [BLEEP], either way. Either they did it and aren't admitting it, or they didn't, and they aren't prosecuting a key agitator of the event. 8. Don't care. That's not the debate.
