Third Oath Keepers defendant pleads guilty to sedition in Capitol riot case

WASHINGTON — A North Carolina member of the Oath Keepers on Wednesday pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

William Todd Wilson, the 44-year-old former leader of the Sampson County chapter of the far-right militia group, pleaded guilty to the charges during a hearing before U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta of D.C. As part of a plea deal, he has agreed to cooperate with the government's ongoing investigation, according to the Justice Department.

Wilson conspired with Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes to "oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power," according to a court filing.

He also joined others in amassing firearms "on the outskirts of Washington D.C. — some distributed across hotels and ‘quick reaction force’ (‘QRF‘) teams — and planned to use them in support of their plot to halt the lawful transfer of power," the filing said.

Two other members of the Oath Keepers, Joshua James and Brian Ulrich, pleaded guilty earlier this year to seditious conspiracy charges and agreed to cooperate with the government.

I wonder how much torture he endured until they forced him to plea guilty and turn states witness against others?

Did he make the plea by himself, or was his FIB handler there with him, holding hands?

They probably threatened to destroy his family.

It’s what all tyrannies do to get the “convictions” they want.

I wonder if our esteemed billionaire former POTUS has given any money for legal bills for any January 6th political prisoners?

If you mean PDJT I am sure that while he could afford it I also believe that his legal beagles are advising that he stay far, far away from any physical or verbal (especially verbal) involvement is any J6 process.

If they are FBI informants or agents, in reality, I fully expect them to be driving out of sight and told to go home.

“quick reaction force’ (‘QRF‘) teams”

Now I thought I read a while back that those teams were if Antifa materilized. Why hasn’t that point been made?

Have any elected esteemed millionaire (some of them might billionaire) Republicans in Washington offer any legal assistance to the political prisoners?

Most likely not. I am voting for the Democrats who run against my two Republican Senators. I see no difference; they are all corrupt.

What BS. Only the FBI could cook up a pot of BS this big.

Why would any of these people plead “sedition”? Who the hell is representing this dummy? Go to court and fight!
