Got my copy of the report. It doesn't include recently released transcripts so I will need to download from committee site.

What did they fucking expect? Man some people are too fucking stupid.

They chose to be with Trump. No one held a gun to their heads. Karma.

General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified to be committee that Trump wanted to reinstate retired military officers to active duty so that he could court martial them, for criticizing him.

Cadet Bone Spurs wants a purple heart for his wounded ego.

Should Ray Epps be charged also?

View attachment 47982
I thought the Ray Epps red herring was utterly debunked months ago. Pushing a Ted Cruz narrative not only isn't a good look, it's pushing something that is virtually certain to be a lie.

He may or may not have any link to the FBI, there’s no proof. But why is the most documented individual and the one seen on video for two days demanding people go into the capitol not charged with anything? Seems weird. It’s also weird that the FBI squirms when asked about it under oath. They refuse to simply say ‘no’ when asked if he has any connection to the bureau. I just don’t think it’s that far fetched after the entire Whitmer kidnapping scheme that was almost entirely orchestrated by the FBI. It wouldn’t give a pass to anyone who committed crimes that day but it’d certainly be interesting to know more about it, or at least get a definitive answer from the FBI.

Utterly debunked is a stretch. The FBI won’t even flatly deny it. I may have missed out on a statement by them or testimony under oath where they did deny it, but so far I haven’t seen it. You might be able to pull up something I haven’t seen?

And to be fair, this entire thread so far is speculative and fueled by theories that have yet to be proven. I think the point of these hearings is to bring some of these theories to light and put others to bed. Maybe we’ll all know a little more by the time it’s over. Probably not, but maybe.

Well........below is the most up to date on the Ray Epps thing I can find. No idea what The Daily Dot is, or to which side it leans. But it's pretty much par with everything else I have read about Epps to this point. I think the bigger news outlets have moved one from that individual.

Thanks for taking the time to post this.
The problem I have with these articles is they are completely based around one nugget of truth that is more or less inconsequential and they build their case around it. They take one fact or quote (Epps’ lawyer stating he’s not FBI in this case) then expound on it, requote it and surround it with fluff like “misinformation experts say…”. Next thing you know this one article is taken and parroted by ten other outlets under the proclamation of “it’s being reported that so and so…” which morphs into “debunked”. The news skirts the truth until a story takes on a life of its own and an entire premise is built. And it’s not just the left or liberal outlets. Almost all mainstream news stories seem to be built this way.
