Sean McHugh

Both Sean and his mother both went to the rally on January 6.  The DOJ has maintained that Sean became violent that day.  There is footage recorded on the Capitol’s lower West Terrace finding Sean saying to the police, “you’re protecting communists!  There is a second amendment behind us, what are you going to do then!  You ain’t holding the line.”  Sean is accused of helping to push a “large metal sign into a line of uniformed police officers.”  Sean had brought a megaphone and yelled “put it up there!  Put it up there!”  Everyone involved with that sign was arrested and put in the DC gulag, most of them in solitary confinement.  The one individual who avoided indictment for three years and then only got probation was Ray Epps.  There are also photos of Sean using bear spray.  Many left-wing commentators have noted the irony of Sean’s yelling “you guys like protecting pedophiles?”  Ray Epps pushed the sign into Sean’s Mother, causing her to fall.  Ray Epps wasn’t indicted for three years, allowed to attend his “trial” over zoom, and received no time.  Most observers believe he was FBI.  The FBI has never denied it.

Sean was arrested at his home by an FBI swat team on May 27 on eight charges.  His lawyer argued that he should not be thrown in the gulag while awaiting trial.  “He came back and re­turned to nor­mal life. Agents searched his home and found noth­ing. There’s no in­di­ca­tion of any on­go­ing com­mit­ment to any­thing,” lawyer Lexi Ne­gin told The News on Fri­day. “They didn’t find any firearms. There was no ev­i­dence found in his home of con­cern.”  Her plea was denied, and Sean was extradited and thrown into the Gulag.

In a previous interview by Kelly Wilde for The Gateway Pundit, Sean McHugh said that there is more video of law enforcement pushing innocent women and elderly people down, shooting rubber bullets that left holes in people’s faces, and bloody scenes from officers’ point-blank violence.

Sean told The Gateway Pundit he wants the CCTV footage of Ray Epps to be made public.

In sealed footage, Sean has seen Ray Epps forcefully hurled a large metal sign into a line of police officers—an activity prosecutors have labeled a felony assault of an officer with a deadly weapon.

“I know it’s kind of explicit, but these are the things that people need to have access to,” Sean said,

He would wait 28 months before his trial where he was convicted on September 6, 2023, of two felonies; assaulting, impeding or interfering with police and the infamous 1512 statute meant for financial crimes applied to J6ers only to make their sentences much longer.

Judge Bates added that the bear spray McHugh used is “hazardous” as it is “capable of causing irreversible eye damage” and pointed out that McHugh “took pride in what he did” and bragged on social media about his actions, McFarlane reported.

The Judge handed down a sentence of 6 ½ years.

Sean wrote this to Gateway Pundit:

I’m a January 6th political prisoner being held in the DC-Gulag. My name is Sean McHugh. I’m being held in very inhumane conditions in the DOJ’s effort to try and make me plead guilty under duress. I believe they are trying to do this because I had direct contact as seen on video with Ray Epps, an individual who has been reported by multiple media sources to possibly have FBI connections and involvement for incitement. At the very least he appears to be a government cutout protected by a lawyer who was formally known as an employee of the FBI. In fact, the FBI has covered for him by scrubbing his name from the most wanted list for January 6th after real journalism exposed his identity.  

I encountered Ray Epps, the real de facto leader of January 6th 2021, multiple times while in D.C. I had coincidental contact with Ray Epps throughout the day and people who appeared to be working in concert with Ray Epps. Other than Capitol Police attacking peaceful protesters without provocation or warning, Ray Epps was more responsible for the for initiating the events that happened at the Capitol than anyone else. He is seen on video January 5th encouraging other patriots to go inside the Capitol which is the very inception of the whole idea to actually go inside. However, he is still not indicted or spent one day in jail. I’m actually the one labeled as the de facto leader of January 6th by the government and Chief Judge Howell of the DC Circuit.   

Here is a brief account of the morning of January 6th 2021. Some details are left out as I still face trial.  

On the morning of January 6th my mother, friend, and I were walking down Constitution Avenue toward Ellipse Park. I was talking into my megaphone something about Joe Biden when I was waived down by who I now know as Ray Epps. We walked over to Ray Epps and associates who were wearing military colors. He was yelling, “We are marching over to the Capitol at 1:00pm whether Trump is done speaking or not and we are going inside.”   

When we were close to Ray Epps he put his hand on my shoulder and said to me, “You have a bullhorn! You have a loud voice to get the word out!” Trying to place responsibility on me Ray Epps said, “You need to tell people the plans. At 1:00pm we are going inside the Capitol whether Trump is done speaking or not.” Ray Epps said, “We are leaving from here and we will walk that way to the Capitol and through the front door.” That was near the corner of what I believe is Constitution Avenue and Ellipse Park.  

We continued on with our day at the Trump rally and as Trump was speaking, sure enough, a crowd was on its way down Constitution Avenue towards our nation’s Capitol Building. This was the beginning of a peaceful protest, or so I thought. At the Capitol Ray Epps was whispering in Ryan Samsel’s ear egging him on to take down the barricade as seen on video. I can tell you Ray Epps was inciting the crowd all day. Ray Epps was yelling to the crowd “Push forward” on the West Terrace. I heard Ray Epps on multiple occasions saying “We are going inside”, even after peaceful protesters were met with police force on the West Terrace.   

Not once did my mother, my friend, or I pass the police line or continue into the Capitol Building that day. However I was attacked multiple times with rubber bullets and sprayed repeatedly directly in the face with various chemicals for speaking on my megaphone. My mother was also sprayed with multiple different chemicals in her face and shot with rubber bullets and pepper balls in her head for no reason. Capitol police were aiming for faces leaving multiple people’s faces riddled with holes bleeding profusely.   

My friend was hit in the head with a concussion grenade and it went off severely injuring him and cracking one of his teeth without warning or any provocation. It was clear they wanted to severely injure people without any announced reason or any apparent provocation. I watched as Capitol Police beat unarmed women with batons. I watched a very petite woman pushed over by Capitol police onto a sharp leg of a barricade that was on its side purposely and unwarranted. They wanted to hurt the vulnerable and elderly. Everyone was asking “Why are you doing this?” They were out for blood!  

I remember walking back into the crowd to find my mother and hearing Ray Epps yelling “keep going, push forward” and still pushing the idea that we were “going inside”. He even said, “We knew this would happen, this is why we showed up.” He was pushing the same metal sign in the same way that the DOJ has used to charge me with felony assault. (We were trying to push it upright, not to harm anyone.) Never did I expect the events to unfold as they did that day. Yet cool, calm, and collected Ray Epps was still there directing others to “remember the plan”. The plan that he and his corrupt cronies had in place on a very specific timeline, seemingly in order to stop the truth from coming out on the house floor as representatives started to contest the election. Imagine if our representatives had time to present the evidence in a constitutional debate on the house floor in front of millions on national television. I knew something was off. It was an ominous feeling I know shared by many patriots that day.   

***Sean McHugh desperately needs an attorney who will push for discovery video of RAY EPPS released to the public. Please help him HERE.

I decided to leave early on, well before any breach in the police line actually occurred. Little did I know that the Capitol police were already waiving people inside the building on the east side.  

Now I am facing decades in prison. I’m up against the full weight of the DOJ, the DC-Gulag, a very bias court circuit and the mainstream media lies with nothing but a court appointed lawyer who seems to be working against me.  

I wish to put Ray Epps on the stand to answer the tough questions. Why is Ray Epps not in jail for inciting the crowd or obstruction of congress or seditious conspiracy? Where is equal application of the law? Who was he there with? What were his motives and who does he work for? Why did he keep repeating that we need to go inside not only a day before January 6th but even after being met with police force outside the Capitol?  

Why am I being treated harshly and Ray Epps is free to go when he was clearly more involved in the events of January 6th? God bless America. Pray for justice pray for truth.  

Thank you for supporting my family and I during these hard times.
