WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI's Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.
Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, which suggests that he plans to enter a plea deal.
Epps is not charged with entering the Capitol; he is only known to have been on the grounds on Jan. 6. NBC News reached out to lawyers representing Epps, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, this could work in Epps's favor, if he gets more than a slap on the wrist, it would/could remove the target off his back by Carlson and others. ****slapping
More likely, it will just fuel more conjecture.

Charging Ray Epps now for "disorderly conduct" is not going to make the Feds' credibility problem go away
It's too late for them. This is just making them look desperate

this is absolutely bleep insane
he’s dead to rights on conspiracy w/ “When We Go In”
There was agreement (“When We Go In”) + act in furtherance (they went in)
That’s 10 years on a felony in a heartbeat if DOJ wanted it
instead lightest misdemeanor possible w/ a Day 1 deal

People who just milled around the Capitol building that day are being sent away for a decade or two in prison. This jagoff actually incited a riot and ... bupkes.
