Ray Epps, an alleged federal asset who was caught on video telling people to go into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, has received no jail time and will only have to serve probation for his role in the rioting.

Epps pleaded guilty to disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds and could have served up to a year in jail. Prosecutors called for him to receive six months behind bars as a result of his guilty plea. But ultimately, the presiding judge decided to not give Epps any jail time.

“This is not an easy sentencing,” Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. district court in Washington stated. Boasberg was originally appointed to the U.S. District Court by Barack Hussein Obama in 2011.

Big League Politics reported on the fake news suspiciously going to bat for Epps and defending his character as suspicion began to mount against him after Epps was caught on video stoking the flames in the lead-up to violence on Jan. 6:

“The fake news is running cover for Jan. 6 provocateur Ray Epps even after Epps admitted saying he helped to “orchestrate” the riot that happened at the Capitol that day…

While any other Jan. 6 protester would be crucified by the media for this admission, Ray Epps – for some peculiar reason – is getting a free pass and being cast as a victim of conspiracy theories in news stories.

NBC News painted Epps in a sympathetic light in their recent coverage of his Jan. 6 commission interview.
