Adrian, your “answer” and the one the article suggested is that Epps wasn’t arrested because he contacted the FBI and… what?  Apologized?  For… a felony?

 

>…Not just that.  As posted, he was also attempting damage control at the event once he realized his mistake, and there is video evidence of this too…

 

Hmmm, if he was attempting damage control at the police line, it would seem he would not have crossed the torn-down barricade but would have instead used that big voice to urge people: we must stay OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL, OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL, and while you are at it stay BEHIND THIS BARRICADE.

 

But that isn’t what he did.  He followed the rioters past that barricade, as seen on the video.

 

No worries however, for the FBI can resurrect its credibility on this by handing over the recording of the Epps phone call, or perhaps just a verified transcript of it would be good enough, with the verification coming from congress or three or four judges.  We really want to know how he walked back having been recorded on multiple occasions inciting a riot in which two died.  That’s serious stuff.

 

Adrian sorry to hear about your accident, but glad it didn’t spin out of control.  I would call that a perfectly legitimate accident too.

Cool excellent I made xkcd!  I am a huge fan of Randall Munroe.  But I still haven’t found out, nor have today’s other 9,999 how this guy talked his way out of inciting a riot in which two died, nor how he talked his way out of crossing the torn down barricade in what looks like the second wave.  That doesn’t look a bit like minimizing damage.

 

All they need to do is release the audio recording of that phone call, or even a transcript, to slake our curiosity.  It wouldn’t be hard and is not partisan, for the FBI has no political party.  But again, no worries, for the FBI will likely be esplainin itself soon.
