One of the biggest remaining mysteries surrounding the riot is the identity of the person who placed two pipe bombs outside the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees the day before the Capitol attack. Last year, authorities increased the reward to up to $500,000 for information leading to the person's arrest. It remains unclear whether there was a connection between the pipe bombs and the riot.
Can't find the pipe bomber....even though they have clear pictures from a few locations But, they also had very clear pictures of Ray Epps, directing / telling people where to go, telling them to enter the capitol. They didn't bring charges against him until the public called them out on it so loud, I guess they figured they had to investigate him in order to appear UNBIASED.
So they arrested Epps and.....Under federal sentencing guidelines, he'll face between zero and six months in prison. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 19. As part of the plea deal, Epps acknowledged moving through downed police barriers on Jan. 6 and admitted to placing his hands on a sign that was later pushed into police officers by the mob.

There's been no evidence to suggest the conspiracy theory claiming Epps was some sort of plant working for the government who was used as part of a plot to turn the Jan. 6 protests violent is accurate. The FBI in April responded to repeated "60 Minutes" inquiries on the issue with a statement, saying: "Ray Epps has never been an FBI source or an FBI employee."
Under federal sentencing guidelines, Ray Epps will face between zero and six months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of disorderly conduct.
He was seen on a livestream that day saying "I'm gonna put it out there, I'm probably gonna go to jail for this. Tomorrow, we need to go into the Capitol! Into the Capitol! Peacefully! Peacefully."
Epps will also have to pay $500 in restitution.
