On Tuesday, Ray Epps, the man who encouraged protestors to storm the Capitol on January 6th and admitted to having “orchestrated” the violence that day, was sentenced to just one year of probation for his actions.
The ruling was made by Chief Judge James Boasberg during a remote hearing held in Washington, DC. Epps, who previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, will also perform 100 hours of community service as part of his sentence and was fined $500 by the court. Epps’s probation comes without any travel restrictions.
Prior to the events of January 6th, Epps was filmed saying, “We need to go into the Capitol,” and later texted his nephew confessing that he had “orchestrated it,” referring to the riots.
Epps is suspected by many observers of being an undercover agent working on behalf of the authorities, but federal prosecutors have denied the accusations, stating that aside from “his four years in the Marines, Epps has never been a federal agent.”
Over 1,200 individuals who took part in demonstrations on January 6th have faced legal repercussions. The Biden regime’s Justice Department has handed down nearly 850 years of combined prison time to approximately 450 defendants so far. Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, was charged with seditious conspiracy despite not being physically present at the Capitol on January 6th. He received the lengthiest sentence of 22 years.
