Moderating: > [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > [Ray Epps, a victim of Tucker Carlson’s Jan 6th theories, has been charged by the DOJ.](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/ray-epps-subject-tucker-carlsons-jan-6-conspiracy-theories-charged-doj-rcna99836) He’s been claimed by Tucker and others to have been an FBI agent or plant on the day of the insurrection, stories which allegedly disrupted his life. If he gets a short sentence or something else that seems “suspicious”, I’m sure the screams of “Deep State” will be earsplitting. There is some suggestion that he might be working on a plea deal. This is an understandable mix-up, but this post and those following warrant a separate thread. It’s not related to the Smith investigation into Trump except in the most tangential way. Since this is a narrow thread, let’s put any further discussion into the existing more general thread: > [@7 Jan 2021 and beyond - the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/7-jan-2021-and-beyond-the-aftermath-of-the-storming-of-the-capitol/930020): > > Since the [6 Jan 2021 thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/6-january-2021-a-day-worth-a-thread/929770/1614) was closed at the request of the OP, I’ve been looking for a place to post about all the things that have been happening in the aftermath but only finding pieces scattered here and there, so I’m starting a thread to hopefully consolidate the events. The White House and cabinet resignations, the Hawley book deal that got canceled, the talks about the 25th amendment, the talks about impeachment, the fate of the rioters, the discussion of Trump’s suspensions from Facebo… Or start a new thread if you want more narrow discussion on this topic only. If you want a narrow thread, I’ll move these posts to it.
