Biden DOJ Turns Heads with Sentence It is Recommending for J6 'Mystery Man' Ray Epps

"This is a unique case in the context of January 6 defendants."

The Department of Justice is recommending just six months in jail for Ray Epps, the infamous January 6 defendant who was captured on video prior to the riot urging protesters to storm the capitol.

According to the DOJ, the prosecution recommends the following punishment should Epps be convicted of

"For the reasons set forth herein, the government requests that this Court sentence Defendant James Ray Epps, Sr. to six months’ incarceration, which is the high end of the applicable Sentencing Guidelines range of zero to six months. The government also requests that this Court impose, consistent with the plea agreement in this case, $500 in restitution, as well as one year of supervised release," the memo stated.

The DOJ memo waxed prosaic about Epps' participation in the so-called unarmed "insurrection." Thus, its retelling of what happened in January 6 will be provided with bracketed commentary.

"Defendant James Ray Epps, Sr. ('Epps')—a 62 year-old former Marine, roofer, handyman, farmer, and venue operator, now retired—participated in the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, a violent attack that forced an interruption of Congress’s certification [read: election challenges] of the 2020 Electoral College vote count, threatened the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 Presidential election [without firearms and without killing anyone], injured more than one hundred police officers [fewer than the BLM riots the previous summer at the White House], and resulted in more than 2.9 million dollars in losses [while the BLM riots caused billions in damages]."

Matthew Graves, the Department of Justice's prosecutor, then contrived an excuse for giving Epps a slap on the wrist, despite his multiple documented felony infractions committed during the Capitol Riots.
