Of course Ray Epps was a paid informant. It came out in court how many at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge standoff were paid informants.

"In the newly released transcript of January 6th provocateur Ray Epps being questioned by the House Select Committee, the suspected undercover government operative confessed that he “orchestrated” the riot."--- https://www.infowars.com/posts/ray-...mittee-he-orchestrated-attack-on-capitol

The militia/patriot movement is full of paid informants, snitches trying to get criminal charges reduced or dismissed, and Soros/leftists backed agent provocateurs. It's like the old joke who are the only ones at KKK meetings who are not FBI - answer DEA, Homeland Insecurity, and BATFaggots. They have tried to set up our militia several times with offers of drop in autosears, Sten gun parts kits, and they tried to get us to agree with crazy specific plans so we kicked them out immediately. If you as much as laugh at their idiotic specific plans like you take them seriously instead of voicing disagreement with their plans and kicking them out then you can be arrested and charged with conspiracy.

Don't forget the un-dead dead guy snitch besides the FBI agent who infiltrated and brought down the Hutaree Militia in Michigan in an attempt to get to also get Mark Koernke.
