He returned to the scene next morning for 'recon' as Congress was completing its delayed election certification, according to court documents

at the Capitol said he returned to the scene the next morning for “recon” as Congress was completing its delayed election certification, according to court documents. Edward Vallejo, who prosecutors say told others he was “waiting for orders from [Oath Keeper founder] Stewart Rhodes,” is accused of playing a central role in the far-right paramilitary group’s attempt to thwart the transfer of power to Joe Biden.

In alate Tuesday calling for Vallejo to be detained ahead of trial, prosecutors say he continued to plot against the federal government even after the violence of Jan. 6 ended.

We’ll see.” He and other members of a “quick reaction force” he led were apparently also prepared to wage battle in the city for weeks. Ahead of the Jan.

For Oath Keepers and founder, Jan. 6 was weeks in the makingHundreds of people have been charged in the Capitol riot, and many were animated by Donald Trump’s call to “fight like hell” just before the insurrection unfolded. But for the leader of the far-right militia group Oath Keepers and for others, there was no need for Trump’s words of encouragement. Action was already planned (After exhausting the legal process; taking it all the way to SCOTUS.) In contrast, cities were boarded up on election night because had Trump won, the Left wouldn't have bothered with the legal process. 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?

Four days later, when The Associated Press and other news outlets declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner, the documents say Rhodes told Oath Keepers to “refuse to accept it and march en-masse on the nation's Capitol.” Gi joe wannabes

The estranged wife of indicted leader of Oath Keepers tells CNN he is a 'dangerous man' and 'complete sociopath''He is very dangerous. He lives very much in his own head.

Cultist Prosecute Donald Trump for planning the 1/6 attempted coup and white supremacist/pro-Trump terrorist attack with Republican Congress members and others including Jordan, Meadows, Brooks, Gosar, Biggs, Gohmert and Boebert.
