Why did the committee never interview the Capitol Police Officer that radioed for help multiple times when hundreds of people were coming in to the capitol? There was zero response from his supervisor, who was later promoted by Nancy Pelosi. Then this guy gets fired.
And what about this Ray Epps character? Whos payroll is he on? Why is he being protected? Surely he was trying to instigate a riot.
Epps story has been debunked by Epps. He is/was a Trump supporter who went to th Capitol in support of Trump claims.
New Evidence Undercuts Jan. 6 Instigator Conspiracy Theory

Epps debunked accusations against himself? Ok
Tarik Johnson
The theories surrounding Mr. Epps have been debunked before, most notably after he spoke last year to investigators working with the House select committee examining the Jan. 6 attack. During the interview, committee officials said, Mr. Epps said that he was not an F.B.I. informant and denied reports that he had urged protesters to go into the Capitol at the behest of federal law enforcement agencies.
Still, the rumors about him have persisted, becoming regular fodder for right-wing politicians and media figures.
Right-wing chatter about Mr. Epps, who is 60 and runs a wedding and event venue in Queen Creek, Ariz., began last spring after videos of him at a pro-Trump rally in Washington started to circulate online. Aside from the clip with Mr. Samsel, Mr. Epps was caught on video standing in a crowd of Trump supporters on the night of Jan. 5, 2021, urging his compatriots to "go into the Capitol" the next day.
Do you think Epps is a government agent?
Is he a contractor working for FBI? Probably not.
Is he a contact FBI officers developed a relationship with in order to maintain contacts within MAGA?
Pretty obvious he was the latter, an FBI reporting source.
How could a guy be on multiple videos all day long all over the mall exhorting people to storm Congress and NOT get arrested? (when so many others who were not even at the riot were getting FBI visits in their home cities.)
Dude was was by any reasonable estimation a greater threat to constitutional order the the Bison-man. Latter is a nutjob. Epps, on the other hand, was an organizer.
So being escorted around on a guided tour is a crime and inciting a riot isn't?
Got it.
