Epps is suspected of being an undercover federal agent. He urged protestors to take over the Capitol on both the eve- and day before the riot.

We can&#8217;t say,&#8221; Carlson also added. &#8220;But we do know that he lied to investigators. The January 6th Committee likely knew this too. Democrats had access to the same tape, yet they defended Ray Epps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The Select Committee was dishonest throughout the two-year investigation. It featured performances. <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/06\/07\/former-abc-news-president-producing-primetime-j6-show-trial-hearings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">produced<\/a> Television executives. <\/p>\n<p>Carlson also highlighted another conspiracy that was conceived by the committee. It is alleged that Barry Loudermilk, a Georgia Republican Rep., gave reconnaissance tours to the Capitol in the period leading up Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson stated that Democrats are the best. &#8220;claimed their Republican colleagues had helped to plan the breach of the Capitol building.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was never any evidence this was true, not at all, yet it was widely repeated,&#8221; Carlson. <\/p>\n<p>Surveillance tapes reveal that Democrats were lying to Loudermilk about giving tours. &#8220;insurrectionists&#8221; Around the Capitol building before the riot. &#8220;and the Democrats knew it was a lie when they told it,&#8221; Carlson. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The so-called reconnaissance mission Democrats alleged was nothing more than Congressman Loudermilk giving a guided tour to his constituents from Georgia, none of whom were \u2018insurrectionists,'&#8221; Carlson explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The FBI totally cleared them,&#8221; Loudermilk spoke to Carlson. &#8220;The committee knew this before they actually made their accusations against me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carlson ended Monday night&#8217;s initial release of Jan.6 tapes with an expose on how Democrats deceptively edited video to portray Missouri Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley (a coward) as running away from Capitol Rioters. You can see full footage of Hawley being joined by other lawmakers, who were forced out of the building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/22\/jan-6-committees-footage-of-sen-josh-hawley-is-exceedingly-dishonest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jan. 6 Committee&#8217;s Footage Of Sen.
