Sentencing memorandum says Epps cooperated, appears remorseful and was victim of conspiracy theories
The Biden Department of Justice is recommending suspected January 6th provocateur Ray Epps be handed a six-month prison sentence for his involvement in the debacle.
Filed on Tuesday, the DOJ sentencing memorandum claims Epps receiving a six-month sentence would be the “high end” of sentencing guidelines under the plea deal he reached with the feds.
BREAKING: The DOJ is recommending just six months in jail for Ray Epps, the only J6 defendant caught on camera telling people to go into the Capitol building.

The document explains Epps turned himself in to the FBI within two days of learning he was on their “watch list,” and that he cooperated with the Bureau and Congress by sitting down for interviews.
Epps also allegedly “engaged in at least five efforts on January 6 to de-escalate conflict and avoid violence between rioters and police officers.”
Of course, Epps was documented telling individuals “we need to go into the Capitol” on Jan. 5th and, “We’re here to storm the capitol,” on Jan. 6th.
The suspected government informant or asset also texted his nephew about the events at the Capitol, writing, “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.”
Continuing its bizarre list of why it took it easy on Epps, the DOJ states, “He also expressed what appears to be sincere remorse” and “Epps has been the target of a false and widespread conspiracy theory that he was an undercover government agent on January 6.”
It’s worth noting the document is basically declaring Epps was not a government asset despite the fact the FBI refused to say as much in 2022 when asked point-blank by GOP Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Meanwhile, loads of prominent J6ers were hit with insanely long prison sentences, such as Purple Heart recipient Joe Biggs getting 17 years, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes’ 18-year punishment and Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio 22 year sentence despite him never setting foot in D.C. that day.
Biggs called into The Alex Jones Show from prison back in September to provide an update on his case and his time in jail:
