I guess this is the new Con: Charge your paid federal actors/informant is with some weak shit and suspended sentences to cover up your involvement in the false flag.

I just wonder if it could be brought into evidence that they were paid by DOJ/FBI…

That would certainly put a damper on their ability to recuit fed bois and informants (if they knew they may end up being charged).

BREAKING UPDATE: Ray Epps' lawsuit against Fox News reveals he's being criminally charged by DOJ, 2.5 years after Jan 6 riot

"Finally, in May 2023, the Department of Justice notified Epps that it would seek to charge him criminally for events on January 6, 2021—two-and-a-half years later. The relentless attacks by Fox and Mr. Carlson and the resulting political pressure likely resulted in the criminal charges" the complaint reads.
