Stewart Rhodes, founder of the citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers, center, speaks during a rally outside the White House in Washington, on June 25, 2017. The seditious conspiracy case filed this week against members and associates of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group marked the boldest attempt so far by the government to prosecute those who attacked the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot.
But the documents also show how quickly Trump’s most fervent and dangerous supporters mobilized to subvert the election results through force and violence, even though there was no widespread election fraud and Trump’s Cabinet and local election officials said the vote had been free and fair.Alaska Rep.
He has said there were about 40,000 Oath Keepers at its peak; one extremism expert estimates the group’s membership stands at about 3,000 nationally. Before long, Rhodes was neglecting his law practice to work on the Oath Keepers. He was disbarred in 2015. The Oath Keepers worked as if they were going to war, discussing weapons and training. Days before the attack on the Capitol, one defendant suggested in a text message getting a boat to ferry weapons across the Potomac River to their “waiting arms,” prosecutors say.
The indictment against Rhodes alleges Oath Keepers formed two teams, or “stacks,” a military term. The first stack split up inside the building to separately go after the House and Senate. The second stack confronted officers inside the Capitol Rotunda, the indictment said.The building was breached. The congressional certification had stopped. Rumors circulated that the left-wing antifa had breached the seat of American democracy. “Nope.
Court documents show discord among the group as early as the night of the attack. Someone identified in the records only as “Person Eleven” blasted the group “a huge f—n joke” and called Rhodes “the dumba— I heard you were,” court documents say. That’s in part because such charges are rarely used and hard to win. The last time U.S. prosecutors brought a seditious conspiracy case was in 2010 in an alleged Michigan plot by members of the Hutaree militia to incite an uprising against the government. But a judge ordered acquittals on the sedition conspiracy charges at a 2012 trial.
pdougherty The ADN will print articles about the Oathkeepers treasonous acts, ...but it protects Alaska Congressional reps who aid and abet the treason. All three Alaska Congressional reps Lisa, Dan and Don voted to deny you your right to vote. The ADN refuses to inform it's readers.
Yet nothing has been done, or charges filed, for the left’s destruction throughout 2020! Go figure…one-sided politics with only one objective…silence the real Americans. How’s FJB working out for y’all?
In contrast, cities were boarded up on election night because had Trump won, the Left wouldn't have bothered with the legal process.
(After exhausting the legal process; taking it all the way to SCOTUS.)

Alaska Rep. Eastman, a ‘life member’ of Oath Keepers, blasts ‘politically driven indictments’ of group’s leadersAlaska legislative leaders say they have no plans for immediate action against the Wasilla Republican who was at a rally that preceded the Jan. 6 attack and is listed as a “life member” of the extremist group whose leaders was charged with seditious conspiracy this week. Boohoo. Play shitty games, win shitty prizes. 'Alleged' is a weak term for 'livestreamed it and shouted it from the mountaintops.' I recommend that AK vote that man out. People that advocate overthrowing the government, certainly do not belong in a government job.
