Fox News wants a federal court to put an end to an Arizona man’s lawsuit over comments made by Tucker Carlson about his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
James Ray Epps, in a series of increasingly escalating legal maneuvers, accused the network’s now-former talking head of painting him as an agent provocateur who “helped stage-manage” the abortive insurrection on behalf of the federal government as protests devolved into chaos. The plaintiff claims Carlson essentially promoted a conspiracy theory that bad-jacketed him as a government plant. Such allegations are often referred to using the sub-term “fed-jacketing” in various online political discussion spaces.

This would mean the court gets to do discovery. My, what an interesting feeding frenzy that would make.
ReplyDeleteYou acted like a cop. Now you want to be a criminal?
ReplyDeleteLet's wait to see what Kash digs up on Epps. Maybe Fox will have reason to file a counter suit.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear jan 6 referred to as an insurrection, my blood pressure spikes and kills a few more brain cells. Hell it wasn't anything special even as a riot except for Ashlee Babbitt being murdered by that sack of shit Byrd.
ReplyDeleteAt most, J6 was an rowdy, unauthorized tour of the Capitol building.
DeleteIt was undercover FBI, Capitol Police, Antifa types that did the law breaking.
DeleteFind out who is bankrolling Epp's efforts and you'll learn some things. Last I heard, he was pleading poverty because of all the attention.
ReplyDeleteHang his bitch ass.
ReplyDeleteNot until the truth is water boarded out of him. Treason is punished with death, this was beyond that, it was terrorism.
DeleteEpps actions, as filmed, are very suggestive. He might want to keep a low profile.
ReplyDeleteEventually, insiders are going to lose their fear of telling the truth. One conspirator, facing prosecution, is going to turn on Epps. Epps might want to act first and consider turning on those who hired him.
ReplyDeleteIt's a constant source of amazement to me that no one has whacked this guy.
