Investigative reporter Lara Logan has produced a special report on notorious January 6 rioter Ray Epps and his strange past.
A big bombshell coming out of the report is the finding that Epps, just before the January 6 riot, told another protester that they were there “to storm the Capitol.”
“We are here to storm the Capitol,” he said specifically.

The fellow protester Epps spoke to in the clip above was Anthime Joseph “Tim” Gionet, aka the popular streamer and content producer known as Baked Alaska.
“No one cared about the Ray Epps story for the first year after January 6,” Gionet told Logan in an interview. “It was a nothing burger for everybody for some reason. I thought it was an important story, but I got banned from Twitter, from YouTube, from all social media, so I couldn’t post the story. I couldn’t get in into the mainstream.”
“I was probably arrested a week after January 6. And when I came out, my followers and my fans, we all started looking at Ray Epps, and somebody, like, used to be an Oath Keeper, and used to be military intelligence, and so on. And we just started finding these crazy things about Ray Epps,” he added.
This prompted Logan to ask him how he knew Epps had a background in military intelligence. Gionet responded by admitting that he was only speculating.
“I say that’s supposedly, that’s what I believe. I don’t have, like, a smoking gun. I know he was an Oath Keeper. I know he was in the military because there was an old picture of him on Facebook that I’ve seen on his actual Facebook. And so even when I say he’s a fed, I say allegedly. That’s what I believe based on the evidence I saw,” he said.

The good news is that Logan’s team has confirmed that Epps was indeed involved with the Oath Keepers. That’s a big, big, big problem because “this is the organization that, according to the DOJ, led the so-called ‘insurgency,'” Logan noted.
Also, Logan’s team has obtained old video footage of Epps marching alongside the Oath Keepers, and more specifically alongside their founder at some event.
“Next to Epps, the man who led them, Stewart Rhodes, founder of the group, and one of the few convicted of seditious conspiracy. He is currently serving 18 years, one of the longest sentences of any defendant on January 6,” Logan explained.
His team has also found one of the other people who attended the event.
“Kate Hilton says she was at that event with Rhodes and Epps. A memorial the Oath Keepers made for a young Navy combat veteran [who] died tragically at his home in Tucson, killed by police when a raiding party stormed his home and riddled his body with bullets,” Logan reported.
“Police provided conflicting accounts, but in the end he paid his family $3.4 million without admitting fault. At the time, Kate said, Epps was president of the Arizona Oath Keepers, where he had been a member since of early 2010,” he added.
According to Hilton, Epps left the Arizona Oath Keepers in late 2011 to focus on his work with the Mormon Church and the family business he was building. The problem, however, is that he told the commission on January 6 something completely different.

“According to the transcript, he said it was when Antifa had first come out in Portland, and they were burning things and doing different things on the news. Stewart Rhodes wanted to go over there and try to lead them, according to Epps, and he wasn’t ‘agree with that, so he split. adding that they were too radical for his tastes,’ Logan reported.
The problem is, according to Hilton, Rhodes never suggested anything of the sort. Also, Epps had apparently left on good terms.
“No one saw him again. No contact. Until we saw the images of January 6”, he recalled.
“What did you think?” Logan asked.
“I thought he had changed. I mean, he’s yelling come into the Capitol. That’s not something I saw him say. That’s the complete opposite of the image he had presented previously. He was a sailor, very disciplined. They don’t cross those lines . Yet here he was yelling at strangers to cross that line. And it was so out of character from what I knew of him,” Hilton responded.
