The verdict in Rhodes’s case likely will be taken as a bellwether for two remaining Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy trials set for December against five other Oath Keepers and leaders of the Proud Boys, including the longtime chairman
. Both Rhodes and Tarrio are highly visible leaders of the alt-right or far-right anti-government movements, and were highlighted at hearings probing the attack earlier this year by the House Jan. 6 committee.and Tarrio in June after an internal debate over whether the magnitude and organization behind the Capitol attack merited bringing rarely used seditious conspiracy charges.
Released videos show Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meeting Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes the day before the attack on the Capitol. The Justice Department has argued in related cases that a conviction on either charge should carry the same seven to nine-year sentence under advisory federal guidelines. But the department calculated it was worth the risk to try to send a public message by charging the defendants with one of the most serious political crimes in a wider attack on democracy.Rhodes, who was at the Capitol but did not enter on Jan.
Though prosecutors sought to prove only that Rhodes plotted with co-defendants to obstruct the presidential transition, both sides acknowledged that he was in contact with Stone, Alexander and Flynn during the post-election period. Oath Keepers provided them with bodyguards and communicated in a “Friends of Stone” encrypted chat group ahead of Jan. 6.emphasized in testimony that there was no plan to enter the Capitol and that their participation was spur-of-the-moment.
byaaroncdavis Can you look into what the CIA know about the RNC hack? They were hacked at the same time as the DNC when Hillary’s emails were released. Ever since the RNC hack, the entire GOP has been in lock step with Donald Trump. What is Putin blackmailing the GOP with? Please find out.
Good. Lock this guy up. He’s a disgrace.
Don't forget the 147 feckless politicians who voted “NO” on the certification of the 2020 election Should they be charged with seditious conspiracy like Elmer (Stewart) Rhodes This is a valid question that all of their constituents should ask
yep 👍 And don't forget, the OathKeepers and Proud Boys were very much involved in the burning/fighting the summer of 2020 as BLM were grieving 💔 They had Trumps pre-election AGENDA, LawAndOrder ! Desperately wicked Right MrAndyNgo TuckerCarlson ?
Someone needs to right this wrong. Someone needs to put Nancy Pelosi on trial.

When is Trump going to face the consequences of inciting this mobs of followers to even attack in the first place? He could have stopped from encouraging them in 1st place. Then did nothing /ZERO to stop them once they were there and coaxed them to attack. We have video proof!!
RGVabogada Yay!
Lol, he has an eye patch
DoorDash lays off 1,250 employees
Is he going for that pirate look on purpose?
As far as I'm concerned, send 'em all to Pelican Bay!
God i hope they make him walk a plank....
You know, this is way more important than gas prices.
He runs a campaign rally? So the past 20 years of glee club flash mobs are oDin's fault? Do we have an official count on how many congresspersons died, or is it still all 'cops and robbers?' Because most of this 'government' is illegal. Sir Isaac Newton is THE law, not 'A law.'
So Government knew weeks before all this was going down and refused to post National Guard?!! Yep..sounds right Nancy
To bad DCs best prison is closed.
Hope Stuart likes group showers and 'close' friends. Cause the big boys are going to love a loud mouth like him.
Cool. So he'll get 3 years in prison. That's seems to be the price for being traitor to the nation.
What a bleep bleep bleep. Ok let’s move on from dark days when madmen roamed and decorum was dead. USA is better than this thug schenannwaggans! Ha ha. Peace!
His families escape from his tyrannical clutches of this clearly clinically insane man was heart rending to read..
EyesOnTheRight where is your fluff peice on him?
So why is the FBI operative, Ray Epps let go instead of being sentenced?
👏👏👏👏👏
America wins!
Wahhh wahhh...maybe trump will save him!!!
Jail him and throw the key in the ocean.
Each time a jan6 insurrectionist is found guilty and sentenced, Democracywins. OathKeepers
Watch he’s gonna get 6 months or some dumb azz sentence.
Punishment should be equally big
Fuck
fucking seditious traitor
Oh, so terrible for you. I have no words for you and your kind other than to say, good riddance. You have no place in my free USA! We as a free country will end you and your rodents.
If Rhodes goes to prison for 20+ years and Mike Flynn walks free, we have a major problem on our hands. But we already knew we have a major problem

Lock him up! Lock them all up! And their Orange haired ring leader too. If they aren't for free and fair elections, and just want an authoritarian Republic, why don't they move to Russia North Korea Saudi Arabia or China?
Is he trying to be lipid snake?

EyesOnTheRight Now do his commander in chief
Lock that traitor up.
Pelosi’s political prisoners
Why groups like Oath Keepers, proud boys… aren’t designated as terrorist group in the US?
POS should be locked up for a long time
Of course. Pervert the justice system to carry your water. Time to start playing cowboys and democRATS.
And yet antifa and blacks are released with no conviction after destroying cities and attacking people. We need more kyle R out there
But not laurenboebert giving out tours days before?
I Won't until Trump, 147 republicans, Ginni Thomas, trumps kids and the rest of these ass hats are behind bars! There's more of them just not enough room to post them all

government cannot exist without a subjugated and compliant people.
'The rarely used charge of seditious conspiracy carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 yrs. TD the longest sentence anyone has gotten for participating in the attack on the Capitol was 10 yrs behind bars....' (Sara Boboltz/HuffPost )

LockHimUp
You can't be a fascist socialist country without a few political prisoners. 🤷♀️
People seem to forget - all those who entered on Jan 6th - They were entering their house - if they paid taxes - that is their property! Those who burned down city blocks - that was not their property! A window broken! Pay to fix, community service!
“He is the highest-profile figure to face trial in connection with rioting by angry Trump supporters …” D’y’all catch that? It says “Trump supporters.” Trump. Trump. Trump, trumpety Trump. He’s next. TrumpIsGoingToPrison
See ya patch
ArchieReginald Is it true he shot out his own eye?
dailygoonerraf Lock this 🤡 up
An eye for an eye…so to speak
Bet he didn't see that coming. Unless it came from his right.
EyesOnTheRight Enjoy prison, Neckbeard!
'The peaceful transfer of power' - When I studied American History those words were a given, a yawn! Today's kids can no longer yawn; those words are asterisked: *In Jan 2021 conspirators attacked the US Capitol to prevent the constitutional transfer of presidential power. ☹️
EyesOnTheRight Meanwhile, the guy who planned and implemented the attack plays golf daily as he prepares to run again.
Momus looks like shit
realDonaldTrump HawleyMO Jim_Jordan there was no conspiracy. Stewart Rhodes was so angry since government&DOJ ignored his anger toward the fraud election&he took the matter on his own hands to show his anger but corrupt media keep making against Trump.
Bet he didn’t see this coming
david_darmofal
Let the Traitor rot in Jail.
No trial. Just found guilty.
The only reason the insurrectionist s didn’t storm the Capitol after the 2016 election is because they already worked there.
Now there's legal precedent that J6 was, in fact, an act of seditious conspiracy. Trump should take note!
This is huge for democracy and hopefully will deter future traitors from trying overthrow the government.

The justice system finally works for a change

Now it’s time to pay the price for all his big talk and poor decisions.
jaredlholt Has elon verified his account yet
Is this like a kid calling in a bomb threat to a high school level of conspiracy or is this an FBI encouraged bear trap level of conspiracy? Cause whatever they were doing a boy scout troop could stop....hardly a national threat.
Good
20 years in the hole.
Lock this fucker up for life.
Where can I donate to his cause?
Free all January 6 political prisoners
ADX Florence?
Ooh this is the “find out” part.
That’s a big win for Democracy
Meanwhile, Ray Epps is erased off the FBI wanted list and the media plays defense for him. You're transparent even in clown makeup 🤡
And who was he working closely with again ?
This is a relief.
Someone tell him that the person not going to prison is the one who didn't do something criminal that day.
So these people were proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, to have engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the US government?
daveweigel Lock his ass all the way up!!!!!!!
Was his FBI handler found guilty also? Asking for a friend.
Arrrrrrr.
If he had used his good eye, he would have seen this coming.
Meggs also found guilty of seditious conspiracy; other three not guilty. All found guilty of obstruction of official proceeding charges! Remand them all until sentencing!
Does this mean he goes to Old Bailey with the other pirates?
