Exactly opposite of what Epps was telling the crowd about going into the 
Capital Building in other video.

Very carefully worded denial... and probably means that he isn't FBI but 
is from some other alphabet agency and was on loan to the FBI or the FBI 
was coordinating the operations.  I know of people who did this kind of 
work for the FBI/DOD CIA and didn't wear their uniform or show 
identification when they went under cover to spy on Americans.

TRUMP wasn't even there... and you accuse him... but Epps was there.

Odd that Epps who was there at the barricades is written a clean bill of 
health by Democrats when it comes to insurrection but TRUMP who didn't 
ever say "attack the police" or say "we need to enter the Capital", but 
Democrats send a letter asking the DOJ to indict TRUMP rather than Epps 
who did say it in the crowd on site?

And TWITTER and the FBI lied about working together as a part of the 
SHADOW GOVERNMENT to limit free speech.

They became the *Ministry of TRUTH* that was run by the *SHADOW* 
*GOVERNMENT* .

For those out there that said *the SHADOW GOVERNMENT is tinfoil hat* 
*territory*  ...you better stock up on tinfoil.
