This is the tale of Kenneth Harrelson, a member of the Titusville Oath Keepers. Harrelson narrowly escaped a major legal hit in federal court when he was acquitted of the rare charge of “seditious conspiracy” related to his role in the January 6 Capitol melee. While he managed to dodge the most severe accusation, he wasn’t off the hook. A jury found him, along with Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers, guilty of obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, among other lesser charges. Though Harrelson avoided the harshest penalties, he still faced a hefty sentence behind bars—a situation made possible...

In September of 2022, a Gun Owners of America (GOA) lawyer provided documents to AmmoLand News showing the FBI targeting so-called “militant violent extremists” (MVEs) by referencing symbols such as the Betsy Ross flag and a symbol of a minute man. This leak led GOA to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents. The FBI initially refused to turn over any documents to the gun rights group, leading GOA to file a lawsuit against the FBI demanding that the Bureau turn over the documents. Instead of the court issuing an order compelling the government to release the...

In July, 2023, The Gateway Pundit and Cowboy Logic offered proof that the DOJ edited video to incriminate the Oath Keepers during their trial. The DOJ’s star witness in the Oath Keepers trial, Special Agent David Lazarus. lied under oath and was not present during an alleged confrontation as he testified in court.

According to...

Just-released U.S. Capitol closed-circuit TV video clips from Jan. 6, 2021, show Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus gave false testimony in the Oath Keepers trial, Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker reported. What's the background? Baker penned an analysis in October calling into question Lazarus' testimony — which helped convict the Oath Keepers — noting that time-stamped CCTV videos Blaze News observed show Lazarus in other parts of the Capitol complex at the time he said he witnessed now-former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn interacting with Oath Keepers on Jan. 6. Baker and others could view the Jan. 6...

With every passing year, we learn more horrific details about J6 supporting the claim that the violence that erupted was plotted by people within the highest level of government. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) and his office have investigated the incident extensively, and he believes the chaos was the result of a 10-month conspiracy designed to destroy the MAGA movement. In this episode, TNA senior editor Rebecca Terrell discusses her interview with J6’er Kelly Meggs, whom she visited in federal prison.

Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who testified before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, announced Friday that he’s running for Congress. Dunn is running for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, which is being vacated by retiring Rep. John Sarbanes (D) — a move that comes several months after suggesting on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that he might run for the district. Dunn became a household name in 2021 when he testified before lawmakers about the Capitol riot, recounting how he had seen Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers being attacked...

Earlier this week, the Department of Justice published a sentencing memo recommending that Ray Epps serve six months in prison on misdemeanor charges related to his behavior on January 6th. Back in September, we reported on the bizarre situation in which Ray Epps, nearly three years after January 6th, is hit with a misdemeanor charge for which the DOJ notifies him in advance and to which he pleads guilty.For a sense of perspective regarding the DOJ’s 6-month prison recommendation for Ray Epps, consider that Enrique Tarrio, who wasn’t even in DC on January 6th, was sentenced to 22 years in...

On Wednesday Stewart Rhodes, the founder and president of the Oath Keepers reached out to The Gateway Pundit. This was the first time we have heard from Stewart in months since his Washington DC show trial. Stewart was on a 90 day phone restriction at the federal prison he is held at in Maryland. When I asked Stewart how he was doing and if he had any allies in prison he told me, “Almost every prisoner that I talk to here is a Trump supporter and is aware of the nonsense. And I get a lot of fist bumps, actually.”...

U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) has released video images from Jan. 6, 2021, showing the movements of a Capitol Police officer who Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said appears to have given false testimony regarding his whereabouts that day during a key encounter with members of the Oath Keepers.

The Capitol Police officer assigned to the protective detail of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on January 6, 2021, appears to have given false testimony about his whereabouts during a key encounter with members of the Oath Keepers, according to an examination of Capitol closed-circuit TV video obtained by Blaze Media. One of the most important federal trials in America in 2022 was barely a blip on the average U.S. citizen’s radar. The first of three January 6 trials bringing seditious conspiracy charges against members of a quasi-militia group known as the Oath Keepers began in late September and concluded...

Last week Ray Epps filed a defamation suit against Fox News for coverage of Epps’ involvement in the January 6. The allegedly defamatory content in question concerned reporting from Tucker Carlson and Revolver News’ Darren Beattie that appeared on Fox News that suggested Ray Epps may directly or indirectly have been acting an asset of the U.S. government — in colloquial terms, that Ray Epps may be a “fed.” [snip] The U.S. Government has a long and storied history of using agents provocateur in similar contexts. Epps’ behavior on January 5 and 6th was considered so egregious that he was...

I do not know all the details of her case, trial and subsequent conviction; however, I do know Jessica Watkins and other Oath Keeper members were entrapped by a federal agent organizing activity under the username “1% Watchdog.” I am certain of this element because the J6 committee falsely accused me of being that user. {GO DEEP} The Gateway Pundit ran an article today which includes an interview from prison with Ms. Watkins, who continues to claim her innocence. Ms. Watkins gave an interview to Flip the Switch with Jenn {Direct Rumble Link} video and audio below: Jessica Watkins -...

Starting at 22 minutes 33 seconds is the account of the statement made by Rhodes followed by the statement of the "judge".

The founder of the Oath Keepers extremist group was sentenced Thursday to 18 years in prison for orchestrating a weekslong plot that culminated in his followers attacking the US Capitol in a bid to keep President-elect Joe Biden out of the White House after the 2020 election. Stewart Rhodes is the first person charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy, and his sentence is the longest that has been handed down so far in the hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
