(Jon Dougherty) Former President Donald Trump held his first rally of the year in Florence, Ariz., Saturday evening, vowing that Republicans would “take back” the White House in 2024 while vowing that a “red wave” would begin in the state leading to GOP congressional majorities following the 2022 midterms.

But at one point during the rally, which was attended by thousands of people, Trump made reference to recent reports regarding a man named Ray Epps, who has been seen in video clips posted to social media encouraging people to storm the U.S. Capitol Building before the Jan. 6, 2020 assault.

Some of those reports have suggested that Epps is a government provocateur, perhaps for the FBI, after first appearing — and then disappearing — from the agency’s ‘wanted’ list in connection with the riot.

“Exactly how many of those present at the Capitol Complex on Jan. 6 were FBI confidential informants, agents, or otherwise working directly or indirectly with an agency of the United States government?” Trump asked in a video clip posted to Twitter by the Columbia Bugle account.

“Did any of these individuals play any role whatsoever in improving or facilitating the events at the Capitol, that’s what we wanna know,” Trump added.

Last week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) grilled a senior FBI official about Epps as well as whether or not other FBI informants were present at the Capitol riot.

Per Fox News:

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, grilled a senior FBI official on whether or not FBI agents or confidential informants played a role in the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021, but she would not confirm nor deny anything.

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled, “The Domestic Terrorism Threat One Year After January 6,” Cruz asked Jill Sanborn, executive assistant director for the FBI’s national security branch, about suspicions held by some that government officials encouraged lawless behavior during the protest.

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Cruz asked.

Sanborn responded that she could not discuss “the specifics of sources and methods” of the FBI.

The Texas Republican went on to broaden his question by asking if any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the riot.

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” she said.

Cruz then inquired if any agents or confidential informants committed crimes of violence on Jan. 6, and after he received the same answer, he asked if any agents or confidential informants “actively encouraged” crimes of violence on Jan. 6.

“Sir, I can’t answer that.”

Cruz then brought up Ray Epps, who was seen on video the day before the riot, telling a crowd, “Tomorrow, we need to get into the Capitol! Into the Capitol!” The crowd responded by shouting, “Fed! Fed! Fed!” at him.

Epps, later claimed that he was not encouraging wrongdoing.

“The only thing that meant is we would go in the doors like everyone else. It was totally, totally wrong the way they went in,” he told the Arizona Republic.

“Miss Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?” Cruz asked.

“Sir, I cannot answer that question,” Sanborn replied.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson last week dared the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 to affirm, on the record, that Epps was not working for the government in any capacity.

“He raised the question Tuesday in response to the select panel issuing a statement that said it interviewed Epps, an Arizona resident and a former president of the Arizona Oath Keepers militia group seen on video urging people to march to the U.S. Capitol in the hours leading up to the riot, and Epps claimed he was not an informant for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency,” the Washington Examiner reported.

“Would the committee be willing to broaden that statement and affirm in writing that Ray Epps wasn’t working with any government agency, law enforcement or otherwise? That would be a very simple change to make. Let’s see if they make it. Let’s see if Republicans will force them to make it,” Carlson said.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
