Last week on the The Gateway Pundit and Blessed.News’ Inside J6 Podcast, former J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel sat down to tell his side of the story from January 6th. highlighting his thoughts and opinions on corruption, coercion, and outright abuse in the Bureau of Prisons.
Before we get into the interview, it is important to point out that 3 1/2 weeks after President Trump’s broad pardon of all J6ers (including 14 J6ers who were commuted but not yet pardoned), there are still J6ers being held in federal prisons or entangled in the DOJ’s web. As mentioned by The Prisoner’s Record on Telegram the following people are still being held hostage:
In last week’s episode, Ryan Samsel discussed the abuses that he suffered, including a broken jaw and an acute tear in his kidney, for what he believes to be retaliation for speaking out and refusing to ‘play nice’ with federal agents regarding his interactions with Ray Epps. Samsel was the man wearing the backwards red MAGA hat on January 6th that had Epps whisper in his ear seconds before pushing the bike racks out of the way before walking up to the west terrace.
The New York Times reportedly obtained a recorded interview between the FBI and Samsel. In that interview, they claimed Samsel confessed to Epps telling him, “Relax, the cops are doing their job.” The Gateway Pundit revealed that James Grant, Samsel’s co-defendant, recalled something else as being said. Grant recalled Epps saying “We need more people.” Upon reviewing footage of the interaction publicly available on YouTube, Grant seems correct. You can hear Epps saying something that sounds much closer to “we need more people” than “relax, the cops are doing their job,” as reported by the New York Times.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the New York Times author but did not receive a response at the time of publication. We will update the story if a response is given.
Samsel added that Epps told him “and we push through this mother f’er,” although this is not audible in the video. Samsel also claimed that Epps turned to the police officer and told him that “he was a Marine for 20 years and you’re going to move this…” Samsel also said that the female police officer, who testified during the Hollywood-produced J6 hearings and was granted a preemptive pardon, was not in front of him but rather off to the side and, more importantly, that the man who pushed the bike rack into her and knocked her over was never arrested “to the best of [his] knowledge].” Samsel can be seen in the video immediately coming to the aid of the fallen female officer.
Samsel claims the officer asked him not to leave, so he stayed with her until two other officers arrived. When they asked what happened, she told them “he helped me,” referring to Samsel.
Samsel claims that during a preliminary interview with the FBI, the agents seemed to try and coach him into saying that Epps was “the voice of reason.” Samsel told the Inside J6 Podcast that agents asked him, “this guy was the voice of reason, right?” Samsel said “I don’t know…I guess.” He claims they pressed him then on what he said to which Samsel responded “I guess he was the voice of reason…is that what you’re saying?” When they asked him for an official statement, Samsel said he needed a lawyer at that point.
Samsel was kept in solitary confinement for an unusually large portion of his time in prison, similar to Jake Lang, found of Blessed.News, who spent over 1400 days in prison without trial himself.
Samsel revealed some other information about Epps from that day. For example, Samsel said as they approached the barricade, Epps was shouting, “Everyone to the front!” and “Where’s my Marines at??” Epps himself is a Marine. At the first barricade, Samsel points out that the bike rack barricades were not “hooked” together, as they’re designed to be, nor did they have any other binds holding them together with each other. Samsel said that he approached one of the police officers at the barricade and said he wanted to go up to the front because Donald Trump was going to speak. President Trump had originally stated he was going to walk with the crowd to the Capitol but later was advised against it by US Secret Service.
Samsel is providing The Gateway Pundit with more evidence from that day and from his time in prison that will likely be included in a follow-up series on his story from that day.
