Many commentators, mostly those on the right, have questioned whether or not Epps was a federal agent. The answer would determine if the January 6 Riot/Protest was infiltrated or escalated by agent provocateurs.</p><p><strong>The Gist:</strong></p><p>&#183;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ray Epps has sued Fox News for defamation claiming that he was the &#8220;smoking gun of the Fed-surection&#8221;.</p><ul><li><p>Epps was also informed that he would be criminally charged in his role in the January 6 Capitol Riot/Protest.</p><p></p></li><li><p>Multiple newspapers have strangely changed their characterisation of the January 6 Incident from &#8220;insurrection&#8221; and &#8220;riot&#8221; to &#8220;protest&#8221; and &#8220;rally&#8221;.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Quotes From the Establishment:</strong></p><ul><li><p> &#8220;Ray Epps attended the pro-Trump <strong>rallies</strong>&#8230;&#8221; ~ The Washington Post</p></li><li><p> &#8220;&#8230; Ray Epps- is that he took part in <strong>demonstrations</strong> in Washington that day&#8230;&#8221; ~ The New York Times</p></li><li><p>&#8220;A former marine who voted for Trump and joined the Jan. 6, 2021, <strong>protests </strong>sued&#8230;&#8221; ~ Bloomberg</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Ray Epps, who was a Trump supporter that participated in the <strong>protests</strong> on January 6<sup>th</sup>&#8230;&#8221; ~ Rolling Stone</p></li></ul><h4><strong>Pundit Perspectives:</strong></h4><p><strong>Charlie Kirk </strong>of Turning Point USA and <strong>Saagar Enjeti</strong> of Breaking Points believe that the lawsuit from Epps is meritless:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;It is one of the weakest, strangest lawsuits that I have ever seen. I believe it is composed with the intent to try to scare Fox into settling into another Dominion style settlement.&#8221; (1:38:16) ~ Charlie Kirk</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;I personally think this is spurious and ridiculous. [&#8230;] Because number one, [&#8230;] Epps made himself a public figure, he's on video and the FBI also made him one so in terms of the private citizen defense, I think is completely thrown out the window; and second, as long as you say &#8216;alleged&#8217; and you ask a question instead of a direct accusation you're good.&#8221; (2:33) ~ Saagar Enjeti</p></li></ul><p><strong>Darren Beattie</strong>, guest on The Charlie Kirk Show and journalist at Revolver News, and <strong>Krystal Ball </strong>of Breaking Points believe that Fox News will settle the lawsuit out of convenience:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;I think it is overwhelmingly likely that Fox News will settle.&#8221; (1:39:31) ~ Darren Beattie</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;What I ultimately think is going to happen is they're probably going to settle, they just settled with the Tucker former producer [&#8230;].

[&#8230;] That&#8217;s not like calling someone a Nazi or a rapist.&#8221; (1:44:18) ~ Charlie Kirk</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;Is it reputationally worse for Epps to be what it seems from the video that he is an active participant in what the regime calls an insurrection and one of the worst [&#8230;] domestic terrorist attacks in American history. Is that reputationally worse for him than saying, &#8216;Oh, he was actually working on behalf of the government in some capacity?&#8217;&#8221; (1:46:17) ~ Darren Beattie</p></li></ul><p><strong>Krystal Ball </strong>believes that the lawsuit makes it unlikely that Epps was a federal agent:</p><ul><li><p> &#8220;If he was like, fed, false flag instigator, then I don't think he would be suing Fox News and opening himself up to Discovery.&#8221; (3:14) ~ Krystal Ball</p></li></ul><p><strong>Tim Pool</strong> of Timcast and <strong>Ana Kasparian </strong>of The Young Turks believes that Epps simply turned witness and was not a federal agent:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;Now while many people who watch Tucker Carlson believe that he may be a federal agent, I think there's actually a simpler explanation for this: Ray Epps is a cooperating witness and informant.&#8221; (2:19) ~ Tim Pool</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;So, he might be cooperating with authorities here and maybe that has led to the ire that some of these right-wing hosts are directing toward him.&#8221; (3:42) ~ Ana Kasparian</p></li></ul><p><strong>Tim Pool</strong>, <strong>Dan Bongino </strong>and <strong>Charlie Kirk</strong> point to media manipulation where multiple media outlets change their description of the January 6<sup>th</sup> Incident from &#8220;insurrection&#8221; and &#8220;riot&#8221; to &#8220;protest&#8221; and &#8220;rally&#8221;:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;Now I understand why people think this guy is a Fed: Because even when they expect him to be charged, the media all of a sudden wipes out the narrative of &#8216;insurrection&#8217; and will say whatever to make sure this guy is not viewed negatively. Why? If there is anything to be said of Ray Epps, it is that he is the principal figure in the incitement of January 6.&#8221; (16:12) ~ Tim Pool</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;Remember the anti-anti-communist theory: We&#8217;re the anti-communists, the liberals are the anti-anti-communists.

Neither outcomes are positive news.</p><p><strong>The Gist: </strong>A small plastic bag used to contain the drugs was discovered in the White House earlier this month. The Secret Service has since closed its investigation and said that they were unable to determine a suspect through fingerprints, DNA traces and video evidence.</p><h4><strong>Pundit Perspectives:</strong></h4><p><strong>Tim Pool</strong> of Timcast and <strong>Ben Shapiro</strong> of The Daily Wire, and <strong>Dan Bongino </strong>of The Dan Bongino Show believe that Hunter Biden has the highest probability of being the culprit:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;You know who is not a member of the white house staff?

You can't just bring whatever you want in there.&#8221; (1:40) ~ Saagar Enjeti</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino calls bullsh*t on claims Secret Service has no leads in the White House cocaine case.&#8221; (13:31) ~ Dan Bongino</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Let's be real about getting drugs into the White House: It's not going to be a journalist or a tourist because these people have to go through security. I know, I've been to the White House, I had to go through security. You're not bringing anything in.&#8221; (1:27) ~ Tim Pool</p></li><li><p>&#8220;This is the most protected building on planet Earth. I've been there multiple times, their cameras pretty much everywhere.&#8221; (0:11) ~ Ben Shapiro</p></li></ul><p><strong>Dan Bongino</strong> and <strong>Saagar Enjeti</strong> base their argument on their understanding of the capabilities of the Secret Service&#8217;s advanced fingerprinting lab:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;I once again completely find it impossible frankly, you were able to just walk onto the White House complex, leave his cocaine there and they were unable to find it, especially with the allegations of the FBI crime lab and all that.

This may change following these revelations.</p><p><strong>The Gist:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Justice Clarence Thomas, former Justice Antonin Scalia and former Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg have been exposed to have taken many subsidized trips to vacation locations and have resided at expensive locations at the cost of billionaires and rich benefactors.</p><p></p></li><li><p>Justice Sonia Sotomayor has been exposed to having her staff members convince colleges and libraries to buy her books. Such books earned her at least $3.7 million since she joined the court in 2009.</p><p></p></li><li><p>Lawyers with supreme court business have been exposed to have paid Justice Clarence Thomas&#8217; aide via Venmo.</p></li></ul><h4><strong>Pundit Perspectives:</strong></h4><p><strong>Saagar Enjeti</strong> of Breaking Points does not seem happy with the news regarding Justice Sonia Sotomayor and her staff:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;The worst part is that these people are federal employees who are pushing private books. This is the most basic ethics violation.&#8221; (3:49)</p></li></ul><p>Both hosts of Breaking Points believe that Justices have an unearned sense of entitlement towards luxury:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;I think that's exactly right, and they're in this high position of power, there is no accountability, they have no actual set ethics rules that they have to abide by, and they feel themselves to be a part of this extremely wealthy elite set. And so to them it's only fitting that they be treated and vetted to these trips and vacations and goodies and perks and whatever, because they do feel this sense of like- [&#8230;] they feel that they deserve this lifestyle.&#8221; (5:46) ~ Krystal Ball</p></li></ul><p><strong>Ana Kasparian </strong>of The Young Turks believes that The Guardian broke the Venmo story too prematurely:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;As the story is right now, with the details we have right now, it was premature.

The indictment will have huge implications for the 2024 election.</p><p><strong>The Gist: </strong>In the <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000188-a12f-db74-ab98-b3ff4de50000">49-page indictment</a>, there were numerous damning statements made by Trump, many of which would seemingly undermine his previously made legal arguments.</p><p>For example, in one exchange, Trump was quoted to have said the following about a pile of Top-Secret documents in Mar-a-Lago:</p><p>&#8220;See, as President I could have declassified it. Now, I can&#8217;t, you know, but this is still a secret.&#8221;</p><p>To which his staffer replied, &#8220;Yeah. Now we have a problem.&#8221;</p><h4><strong>Pundit Perspectives:</strong></h4><p>Multiple commentators have pointed out that on the legal merits alone, the indictment seemed to have sufficient evidence to be a huge problem for Trump. These commentators include <strong>Saagar Enjeti</strong> and <strong>Krystal Ball</strong> of Breaking Points, <strong>Jonathan Turley</strong> of Fox News, <strong>Ben Shapiro</strong> of The Daily Wire, <strong>Vaush</strong>, and more:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;On the merits itself, it&#8217;s a huge problem for Trump.&#8221; (7:05) ~ Saagar Enjeti</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s on tape, admitting to the crime, and undercutting the only defence that I ever heard them muster for the details of the case. [&#8230;] If anyone should be prosecuted for willful retention of classified documents obstruction in attempts to retrieve those classified documents, it would be [Trump].&#8221; (8:22) ~ Krystal Ball</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s overwhelming in detail.&#8221; (3:05) ~ Jonathan Turley, Fox News Legal Analyst, clipped on Breaking Points</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;It is also true that Trump is going to have a very tough time in a courtroom explaining his behaviour.&#8221; (4:42) ~ Ben Shapiro</p></li></ul><p><strong>Charlie Kirk</strong> of Turning Point USA seems to disagree:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;&#8216;Read the indictment, it&#8217;s very serious! It&#8217;s a very serious indictment!&#8217; So I&#8217;ve read the indictment. This is paperwork stuff.&#8221; (9:41) ~ Charlie Kirk</p></li></ul><p>Multiple commentators, including <strong>Krystal Ball</strong> of Breaking Points, <strong>Ben Shapiro</strong> of The Daily Wire, and <strong>Kyle Kulinski</strong> of Secular Talk, believe that Trump&#8217;s predicament is self-inflicted:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;Put yourself in Jack Smith's Shoes let's say he didn't really want to prosecute Trump. Trump gave him no choice. When you have this amount of evidence and you know this wasn't an oopsie.&#8221; (4:30) ~ Krystal Ball</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;I mean this is just- I'm sorry this is a self-inflicted wound. It's a gaping hole.&#8221; (27:54) ~ Ben Shapiro, On Trump hiding documents from his own attorney</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;The political arguments that he is making are fine. [&#8230;] However did Donald Trump create this wound for himself? He did. All he had to do was give the documents back, that's literally all he had to do.&#8221; (35:05) ~ Ben Shapiro</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;His own hubris brought him into this position.&#8221; (8:26) ~ Kyle Kulinski</p></li></ul><p>Almost all conservative commentators believe that despite the legal arguments, the indictment was politically motivated in nature:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;No one can credibly deny: That they are going after him for political reasons.&#8221; (19:08) ~ Matt Walsh</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;The reason that Hillary Clinton for example should have been charged, should have been arrested, is because she actually irrefutably broke the law several times, and they admit it so, whereas with Donald Trump that&#8217;s not the case. [&#8230;] It&#8217;s not a double standard, it is a far more harmful standard on one side.&#8221; (47:59) ~ Steven Crowder</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;Why is he the first? Well because the same people who selectively use the IRS to target conservatives decided to break the law and protocol and indict the President for something that is completely legal.&#8221; (52:35) ~ Steven Crowder</p><p></p></li><li><p>&#8220;Donald Trump is the first former president to be charged by the DOJ with much less evidence of wrongdoing that we have irrefutably than non-presidents Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden. This is unprecedented. And it just so happens to come down at a time when new evidence emerges of actual criminal activity of the former Vice President.&#8221; (1:17:42) ~ Steven Crowder</p><p></p></li></ul><blockquote></blockquote><ul><li><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to hear the bloviation or the lecturing of a paperwork stuff, while our country is being invaded, we are running trillion dollar deficits, we have a hundred ten thousand people drug overdosing, and I have to worry about the criminalisation of paperwork. The criminalisation of paperwork in boxes. While Hillary Clinton deletes emails, and Bill Clinton is on Lolita Express with children, Hillary Clinton is laundering money from foreign countries. We have an outright crook as President of the United States, but I have to go get angry about paperwork. [&#8230;] These are serious charges if you hate a man.&#8221; (55:43) ~ Charlie Kirk</p></li></ul><p><strong>Kyle Kulinski </strong>and <strong>Vaush </strong>believe that Trump may be selling the classified documents to foreign countries:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;This is a man who at best is just a hoarder and is opening the door for foreign spies to go in there and steal our most classified top secret information that should actually be top secret classified. That's best case scenario. Worst case scenario he's corrupt and cutting a deal with the Saudis and whoever the hell else wants to be, probably Israel and others, and giving them top secret classified information because he wants to get paid.&#8221; (16:22) ~ Kyle Kulinski</p></li></ul><p>Former Secret Service agent <strong>Dan Bongino </strong>of the Dan Bongino Show believes that Trump&#8217;s life is in danger:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;Trump&#8217;s life is in real danger ladies and gentlemen. He does not have a presidential package level of security, but he has a presidential package level of threat. [&#8230;] I have a really bad feeling right now, that there is political pressure being put on the administration to make sure Trump doesn&#8217;t get the security he needs.&#8221; &nbsp;(9:30) ~ Dan Bongino</p></li></ul><p><strong>Krystal Ball</strong> of Breaking Points points out the danger of storing documents in Mar-a-Lago:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;Mar-A-Lago was like a nest of spies. I mean, Chinese spies have been caught trying to obtain access to the property, there's probably no foreign government with a significant spy agency on the planet that hasn't tried to infiltrate this place and the boxes were casually stored all around in easily accessible areas.&#8221; (4:59) ~ Krystal Ball</p></li></ul><p>Trump will appear in Miami today for arraignment. More news and commentary on the indictment will be published tomorrow.</p><p><strong>Go Deeper: </strong>Read the full indictment <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000188-a12f-db74-ab98-b3ff4de50000">here</a>.</p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>2.

Flag remains controversial among many conservatives, many of whom are arguing that this violates the US Flag Code.</p><h4><strong>Pundit Perspectives:</strong></h4><p><strong>Tim Pool</strong> of Timcast wonders why an ideological flag is being flown.</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;I honestly don't care all that much about the placement of the flag, I care about the placing of the flag in its entirety, the ideological capture of a nation. Why is a flag that represents a political ideology being flown?&#8221; (6:07) ~ Tim Pool</p></li></ul><p><strong>Gerald Morgan Jr.</strong>, co-host of Louder with Crowder believes that the flag symbolises conquest, <strong>Steven Crowder </strong>agrees:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;You know what flags typically get to fly at the White House? None. And when they do it&#8217;s typically because it&#8217;s a conqueror. Conquerors run their flags up and hang them out.&#8221; (31:33) ~ Gerald Morgan Jr. on Louder with Crowder</p></li></ul><p><strong>Matt Walsh </strong>of the Daily Wire believes that the flag is a &#8220;grotesque display&#8221; and that, alongside the toppling of a historic statue that happened recently, this symbolises an erasure of history:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;The White House is also properly representing its own nation, which is not our nation. We are two nations in one, there is the old United States that the conservatives still cling to and cherish; and there is a new country with its own flag, its own tradition, its own heroes and foundational myth etc. That&#8217;s the nation of the Biden regime, the media, academia, Hollywood all speak to and represent.
