  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

“Ok, folks spread the word! As soon as the president is done speaking, we go to the Capitol. The Capitol is this direction,” he said on the video.

He was also seen on video the night of Jan. 5, 2021, asking other people to “go into the Capitol” the next day before others began chanting “Fed, Fed, Fed” at him.

The theory that Mr. Epps was an undercover agent has been fueled by the fact that he is not among the hundreds facing criminal charges stemming from the attack. Proponents of this theory say that’s because the Justice Department is protecting him.



Look at Wray's eyes as he gives his testimony. He's not looking into the camera. He's reading a script.

"Mr. Epps has denied the allegations and insists he never worked for law enforcement."

Any of the Congresscritters could have asked Wray, "Was Ray Epps an FBI employee or informant on Jan 6?"

None of them bothered to do so, as far as I can recall.

There’s a law maxim that states (roughly) “never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to”.
This works in politics too, case in point.

Now they've asked, but they don't like the answer.

AG Garland testified to Congress today that Epps “was not an employee or informant of the FBI.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) ... said that no one believes that.


I believe it.
