It’s been a long road to the upcoming Capitol riot trial of the the leader of the extremist group Oath Keepers.

FILE - Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, center, speaks during a rally outside the White House in Washington, June 25, 2017. Hundreds of pages of court documents in the case against Rhodes and four co-defendants, whose trial opens with jury selection Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, in Washington's federal court, paint a picture of a group so determined to overturn Biden's election that some members were prepared to lose their lives to do so.

Court documents in the case against Rhodes and four co-defendants — whose trial opens Tuesday with jury selection in Washington's federal court — paint a picture of a group so determined to overturn Biden's victory that some members were prepared to lose their lives to do so. Rhodes' lawyers have signaled their defense will focus on his belief that Trump would take that action. But Trump never did, so Rhodes went home, his lawyers have said.On Nov. 9, 2020, less than a week after the election, Rhodes held a conference call and rallied the Oath Keepers to go to Washington and fight. He expressed hope that antifa activists would start clashes because that would give Trump the “reason and rationale for dropping the Insurrection Act.

As 2021 approached, Rhodes spent $7,000 on two night-vision devices and a weapon sight and sent them to someone outside Washington, authorities say. Over several days in early January, he would spend an additional $15,500 on guns, magazines, mounts, sights and other equipment, according to court documents.

'Fighting fit': Trial to show Oath Keepers' road to Jan. 6In the trial against the Oath Keepers’ leader and four associates, prosecutors will try to show that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was not a spur-of-the-moment protest for the extremist group but part of a weeks-long plot to stop the transfer of power. The Fash Keepers have been planning it since we had a black president. Lol Maybe if Parler wasn't ripped offline by the tyrant in charge, people could see that the majority of Conservatives who went had no idea anything other than a rally was going to happen. Convenient how that info disappeared, no?
