That's pretty obvious why they weren't identified and probably never will, isn't it?
How could anybody identify them? I don't see eyes, hands, any part of the face of the two the video focuses on.
Not saying it is impossible there were undercover agents at the scene there probably were.
But it's not exactly great journalism if you pick stories where you know you'll never get any results.
And that's what the right-wing propaganda machine is always doing: pick whatever can't be definitively proven or disproven, because the goal is nothing other but to create uncertainty and further distrust.
For everybody not already swallowed by the opinion-creation machinery, this is an obvious cheap shot.
The sad thing is, at this point I really don't even believe anymore the right-wing public figures believe their own crap, it's ideological capitalism.
Because nobody can be so stupid to always bet on the horse that got no chance of winning.
It's just to keep the donations flowing. They don't want to uncover 'the truth', they don't want to win, they just want your money.
And Mr. Epps:
On Jan. 8, 2021, just two days after the Capitol was attacked, Mr. Epps learned from a family member that the F.B.I. had issued a be-on-the-lookout alert in his name. He said he immediately called the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center, and his phone records show that he spoke to agents there for nearly an hour.

1. never entered the Capitol
2. was cooperative
That's why he wasn't charged.

Not himself comitting any crime as he didn't enter the Capitol himself and cooperative, that's more than 'nice'.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has encouraged people to avoid downtown on Tuesday and Wednesday as law enforcement braces for the possibility of violent confrontations between pro-Trump demonstrators and counterprotesters.
“Make no mistake: many of these individuals have stated that they are coming to the District to provoke residents and wreak havoc," D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said.
The Metropolitan Police Department is expecting a crowd larger than at two pro-Trump events in D.C. last year. The D.C. National Guard will assist with crowd management and traffic control, officials said Monday.
“Some of our intelligence certainly suggests there will be increased crowd sizes,” said Acting Police Chief Robert Contee, adding, "There are people intent on coming to our city armed.”

Now. there had been one day of protesting already. This article came out the day before 1/6 on Tuesday. There had been 6 arrests. No property damage. No police attacked.
The 1/6 Protest, not insurrection, was a created and planned event by those who opposed Donald Trump. The DC Mayor, as well as General Milley and the Capitol Police are complicit.
US Capital Police denied assistance and days after people stepped down and moved around.
There was no insurrection...and why if they can find a MAGA redneck in a crowd of thousands and match to a social media account can they NOT know who planted bombs at BOTH HQ's.

A good viewing is compiled by ProPublica. It's over 500 videos that Parler users uploaded to Parler that day. They are by time, or area on the 6th. No spin, no commentary. Just Parler users who uploaded their own videos that day.
