This is a most interesting development regarding the January 6 riots that Nancy Pelosi's J6 Committee completely ignored because it did not fit their preconceived and criminally biased conclusion that Donald Trump was responsible for inciting an armed insurrection against the United States and must be indicted, arrested and tried for treason. That was Nancy Pelosi's false but dreamed for outcome. Who was she protecting with her partisan witch hunt? Maybe it was the mysterious and infamous Ray Epps...a left wing operative...known to the FBI but never aggressively pursued... See details here...
Quote: "Now Ray Epps Admits He ‘Orchestrated’ Jan. 6 ‘Insurrection’. Ray Epps is the fellow who was caught on video multiple times telling pro-Trump protesters that they were going to have to storm the Capitol. Yet despite this clear evidence that he was a singular ringleader and instigator of what Democrats insist was an “insurrection” that threatened the very survival of our free republic, Epps has never been charged with insurrection or anything else, or even been arrested. Meanwhile, people who never told anyone to storm the Capitol have languished in prison without trial for nearly two years now, in shocking conditions. All this has given rise to the widespread and lingering suspicion that Ray Epps is a fed, a suspicion that Epps himself has just reinforced by telling his nephew that he “orchestrated” the events of that fateful day. Of course he did.
A transcript of a deposition of Epps with the House Jan. 6 Committee, dated Jan. 21, 2022 but just released on Thursday, reveals that at 2:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, Ray Epps sent a text to his 28-year-old nephew, Dalin Epps: “I was in the front with a few others. I also orchestrated it.” In the deposition, Ray Epps does his best to back away from this thunderous assertion. He is asked: “Help us understand this text. What did you mean by ‘orchestrate’? What did you orchestrate?” Epps responds first by deflecting to his relationship with his nephew, which no one in the room had asked him anything about: “I just meant that I got — you have to understand our relationship, uncle-nephew. We hunt together. We fun with each other. We do that kind of stuff.” After that, he got to the point: “What I meant by ‘orchestrate,’ I helped get people there.”
Now, Ray Epps is on video saying on Jan. 5, 2021, saying, “I’m gonna put it out there. I’m probably gonna go to jail for it, okay?” He didn’t. “Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol. Into the Capitol.” The people around him in the video aren’t buying it and start chanting, “Fed! Fed! Fed!” At another point, Epps says, “Tomorrow — I don’t even like to say it ‘cause I’ll be arrested…” (he wasn’t). Someone in the crowd responds, “So let’s not say it.” “We need to go —” Epps continues, and looking at the man who told him not to say it, insists, “I’ll say it. We need to go in to the Capitol.” Once again his exhortation is received with derision.
In yet another instance, Epps is caught on video saying, “We are going to the Capitol, where our problems are.” Pointing, he helpfully tells protesters, “It’s that direction. Please spread the word.” He tells some protesters, “When we go in, leave this here,” but it’s unclear to what he is referring. Epps is also in video whispering something to those who pushed down the barriers between the protesters and the Capitol just before they began breaking down the barriers; then he is seen running with them toward the Capitol.
Viewing all this, and knowing that Epps has never even been arrested, it’s extremely hard to escape the suspicion that he was an agent provocateur trying to ensure that protesters breached the Capitol so as to establish the Left’s bogus and hole-ridden “insurrection” narrative. If this were not true, Epps would be languishing in prison in Washington today along with the others who did far less than he did.
Everyone knows that Democrats are unethical tyrant wannabes. Kathy Hochul, governor of NY State is a prime example. She is just as dirty a politician as was her predecessor Andrew Cuomo who was forced to resign in disgrace. This is what she has been up to.
After the state Department of Health advertised for bids to purchase COVID-19 test kits and then invoked an executive order when Digital Gadgets objected to the rejection of its bid, the company filed a lawsuit in Albany County Supreme Court alleging violations of state law by the agency, according to The Washington Examiner.
“Digital Gadgets brought this lawsuit to ensure the state complies with the rules they established along with the bid process,” Digital Gadgets spokesman John Gallagher told NPR affiliate WSKG, which reported the complaint.
“The DOH is blocking Digital Gadgets’ ability to demonstrate that the winning bidders do not meet the specifications issued by the department.”
52 million…
Between December 2021 and March 2022, the state hired Digital Gadgets to acquire approximately 52 million test kits as part of its efforts to stave off a resurgent wave of the virus.
The contracts, which cost the Empire State close to $637 million, were purchased by the New York Division of Homeland Security and Situation Services Commissioner Jackie Bray pursuant to an executive order that overrode standard procurement procedures owing to the emergency at hand.
The Albany Times Union reported in July that Hochul received $300,000 in election campaign contributions from the company’s owner, Charlie Tebele, and his family, around the time the state was negotiating those contracts.
Hochul has stated that she is unaware of any specific purchase order with Digital Gadgets and that she is unaware of the Tebele family.
Background
According to the lawsuit, state representatives, including Bray, were allegedly negotiating another order with the company between the months of April and June. In the interim, Tebele and his spouse contributed an additional $40,000 to Hochul’s campaign.
However, the Department of Health published an invitation for bids (IFB) on July 12 that was “virtually identical” to the terms being discussed between Digital Gadgets and the state just one month earlier, according to the firm’s complaint.
“Indeed, the [IFB] specifications were virtually identical to the June Order: it sought a vendor who could supply a minimum of 2 million tests per month and precisely the same specifications as the proprietary Surge Program proposed by Digital,” Digital Gadgets’s counsel wrote.
The Department of Health’s invitation from July 12 “did not specify the more expensive, US-made AccessBio tests, thereby allowing bidders to propose supplying cheaper, lower quality tests made overseas, including tests made in China.” According to the attorneys. This is the “key distinction” from that invitation, they claim.
Ultimately, during the summer, Digital Gadgets and more than 100 other businesses submitted proposals, but news of the Tebele family’s contributions to Hochul persisted.
Digital Gadgets was informed in August that its bid had been rejected, and it then asked Department of Health representatives to provide a briefing on the reasons why. In court documents, a lawyer for the company included a letter in which a department official involved stated that any disagreements over the selection of the winning offer should be brought to the attention of the state comptroller."
