Hey dipshit you do know he died at home to natural causes not protecting anything right? But just keep telling the lies like you always have...
"The Washington medical examiner ruled that Sicknick died of natural causes the day after the Jan. 6 riot after having suffered two strokes. He told The Washington Post that “all that transpired” on Jan. 6 “played a role” in Sicknick’s condition."

When even Ann Coulter agrees this is a stupid narrative, that oughta tell you something about yourself.
Why are yall defending Ray Epps?When even Ann Coulter agrees this is a stupid narrative, that oughta tell you something about yourself.
Who said we're defending him? We're blowing up your brain-dead narrative that he was an FBI agent responsible for the attack on the Capitol. He was a damn MAGA through and through and they gave him a lighter sentence because he didn't commit any violence, he immediately turned himself in and fully cooperated. Why can't you accept that?
And that explains why you are a Republican - you've decided that facts don't matter when there's a more entertaining conspiracy theory that helps your narrative.
Keep blowing that "peacefully" smoke, so you can feel better about the one man crime wave you support. Non-magas aren't stupid enough to buy it. Why are you dismissing the testimony of EVERYBODY who was a first-hand witness that day??

"Sources said Scavino told Smith's investigators that as the violence began to escalate that day, Trump "was just not interested" in doing more to stop it.
Sources also said former Trump aide Nick Luna told federal investigators that when Trump was informed that then-Vice President Mike Pence had to be rushed to a secure location, Trump responded, "So what?" -- which sources said Luna saw as an unexpected willingness by Trump to let potential harm come to a longtime loyalist."
"According to sources, when speaking with Smith's team, Scavino recalled telling Trump in a phone call the night of Jan. 6: "This is all your legacy here, and there's smoke coming out of the Capitol."
Scavino hoped Trump would finally help facilitate a peaceful transfer of power, sources said."
'Very angry'
"As the House investigation established, after Trump finished his remarks at the "Save America" rally early on Jan. 6, as protesters began making their way to the Capitol, Trump returned to the White House, where he and Meadows settled into chairs around a table in the Oval Office dining room to watch TV coverage of the event.
But, as also previously recounted in public reports, when Scavino and other White House officials learned that rioters had violently stormed the Capitol, they rushed into the dining room to urge Trump to help calm the situation.
Still, Trump didn't do anything.
According to what sources said Scavino told Smith's team, Trump was "very angry" that day -- not angry at what his supporters were doing to a pillar of American democracy, but steaming that the election was allegedly stolen from him and his supporters, who were "angry on his behalf." Scavino described it all as "very unsettling," sources said.
At times, Trump just sat silently at the head of the table, with his arms folded and his eyes locked on the TV, Scavino recounted, sources said.
After unsuccessfully trying for up to 20 minutes to persuade Trump to release some sort of calming statement, Scavino and others walked out of the dining room, leaving Trump alone, sources said. That's when, according to sources, Trump posted a message on his Twitter account saying that Pence "didn't have the courage to do what should have been done."
Trump's aides told investigators they were shocked by the post. Aside from Trump, Scavino was the only other person with access to Trump's Twitter account, and he was often the one actually posting messages to it, so when the message about Pence popped up, Cipollone and another White House attorney raced to find Scavino, demanding to know why he would post that in the midst of such a precarious situation, sources said.
Scavino said he was as blindsided by the post as they were, insisting to them, "I didn't do it," according to the sources.
Some of Trump's aides then returned to the dining room to explain to Trump that a public attack on Pence was "not what we need," as Scavino put it to Smith's team. "But it's true," Trump responded, sources told ABC News. Trump has publicly echoed that sentiment since then.
At about the same time Trump's aides were again pushing him to do more, a White House security official heard reports over police radio that indicated Pence's security detail believed "this was about to get very ugly," according to the House committee's report.
As Trump aide Luna recalled, according to sources, Trump didn't seem to care that Pence had to be moved to a secure location. Trump showed he was "capable of allowing harm to come to one of his closest allies" at the time, Luna told investigators, the sources said.
With the chaos inside the Capitol continuing, Trump's aides believed Trump still needed to do more. Sources said Cipollone recalled telling Trump that he needed to explicitly instruct rioters to leave the Capitol.
Scavino printed out proposed messages to post on Twitter, hoping that Trump would approve them despite his reluctance to write such posts himself, sources said. The congressional probe found that even Trump's daughter, Ivanka, "rushed down to the Oval Office dining room" to convince her father that issuing a public message could "discourage violence," as the congressional report put it.
More than a half-hour after Trump was first pressed to take some sort of action, Trump finally let Scavino post a message on Trump's Twitter account telling supporters to support law enforcement and "stay peaceful." It was 2:38 p.m.
Minutes later, Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot when she tried to break through a barricaded entrance near the House chamber.
And the violence at the Capitol continued to escalate.
At least six of Trump's closest aides continued to push Trump to do something more forceful than posting what they saw as a weak message on Twitter, sources said.
Trump listened to the pleas, "but he was just not interested at that moment to put anything out," Scavino told Smith's team, according to the sources. Instead, Trump was focused on watching TV and taking in the chaotic scenes, Scavino said, the sources added.
Testifying before the House committee, an aide to Meadows similarly said she heard Meadows say of Trump that day, "He doesn't want to do anything."
As recounted in public reports, then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, other members of Congress, members of Trump's family, and even Fox News personalities also tried to push Trump to take further action. But in response, Trump repeated to many of them that his supporters were simply angry about the election being stolen, sources said.
In his own closed-door interviews with federal investigators, Meadows confirmed previous media reports saying that when a desperate McCarthy called Trump, the then-president told him, "Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are."
Instead of taking action at that point, Trump allegedly continued to watch Fox News on TV.
"During this time, law enforcement agents were attacked and seriously injured, the Capitol was invaded, the electoral count was halted and the lives of those in the Capitol were put at risk," the House committee said in its report.
'It doesn't justify this'
Sources said that eventually, at the urging of Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner, Trump agreed to record a video for release. The video, more than a minute long, was posted to Twitter at about 4:15 p.m.
"This was a fraudulent election," Trump said. "[But] we have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special."

TWO-TIERED JUSTICE IS NO JUSTICE!
Actions speak louder than words:
Beat them "Peacefully and Patriotically" with a Trump flag!
A political protest based on a LIE promoted by a President is unprecedented in our history. You always seem to conveniently leave out that there was no legitimate reason to protest MY VOTE and therefore there was no reason to be there at all. He enraged them for 2 months on Twitter, invited them there and spun them up at the Ellipse. He knew what he was doing and you know it too. You just don't care because you want him to get away with his crimes. You are not a good citizen and far from a patriot.
