Federal prosecutors have charged nine members of the Oath Keepers — an extremist militia that allegedly played a leading role in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol — with conspiring to delay the certification of the presidential election.the Justice Department accused the nine militia members of coordinating efforts to storm Congress and noted that they openly discussed maintaining a cache of “heavy” weaponry just outside of D.C. limits.
And when then-Vice President Mike Pence rejected calls to unilaterally block Biden’s win, one of the leaders of the group, Thomas Caldwell, 65, told his collaborators they were “screwed.” Members of the alleged conspiracy agreed to “interfere with the official Congressional proceeding to certify the vote of the Electoral College of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election,” prosecutors said. The defendants also trained and taught each other military tactics, recruited other participants in the attacks and stormed past the Capitol Police barricades at the onset of the insurrection, Justice Department lawyers said.
One unidentified participant told Ohio-based Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins, 38, one of the nine alleged conspirators, that she should be prepared to carry out citizens’ arrests. Watkins allegedly replied, “We are in the mezzanine. We are in the main dome right now. We are rocking it.”
Why don't they charge all those Antifa and BLM members who burned this country for months? Matter of fact, where was Politico when these terrorists were acting out? Leftism is a cancer to any free society.
The 17 Republican AGs, including Ashley Moody (the daughter of a federal judge), who backed Trump in the far-fetched election lawsuit should be held accountable. ResignMoody

What's their 'oath'....? *To be called 'boys' for their whole lives.
These arrests are nothing. Merely a hope that we forget about the members of Congress who helped. Why arent they being arrested?

Haul them all in!
I'm waiting on criminal charges to be filed for Ted 'Cancun' Cruz, Lauren Bobbitt, Marj Simpson Greene and Josh ( Traitor ) Hawley! Their party can't protect them in a criminal court!
OK. Now we need to prosecute all those who didn't Keep their Oath, to serve and protect the Constitution and America. Beginning from the top: Donald J. Trump, and following with Cruz, Hawley and all the Capitol Trumpers who tried to disenfranchise more than 80 million of voters.
Put them in jail!
And their new cellmates and the general population will just 'love' them. In fact, they need to stock up on Preparation H suppositories in order to reduce inflammation from the larger suppository that their cellmates will be loving them with!

The FBI must continue to find and apprehend every single Capitol insurrectionist. Violence against the United States and its democracy will not be tolerated.

Yawn.............................. I am more worried at the path Biden is already has taken this country.
That's a good start.
Good work. I hope they continue to work on this case until they get all those involved. They should be looking at trump too. It wouldn't surprise me if he was The Ring Leader. I hope they all go to Prison for a long long time.
So does that mean Lauren Boebert is in jail? 🤭🤨🧐
Hope they spill info on the trump's in a plea.
I hope they throw the book at them!
What oath are they keeping? Did they make an oath to be disgusting and vile traitors and general scumbags? If so, mission accomplished!
If you are in OathKeepers explain yourselves. Why did 5 people have to die?
