Oath Keeper wanted to load boat with weapons for Potomac

A member of the right-wing paramilitary group the Oath Keepers in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot proposed a plan to transport “heavy weapons” in a boat across the Potomac River, prosecutors said in a Thursday court filing.

Federal prosecutors made the allegation in a memo opposing a motion for release from the attorneys of Thomas Edward Caldwell, who along with fellow Oath Keeper members Jessica Marie Watkins and Donovan Crowl faces conspiracy charges in connection with alleged plans to lead a coup ahead of the deadly pro-Trump mob attack.

Days before the attack, prosecutors in the court filing say Caldwell reached out to a member of the Three Percenters, an extremist gun rights militia, saying with “someone standing by at a dock ramp (one near the Pentagon for sure) we could have our Quick Response Team with the heavy weapons standing by, quickly load them and ferry them across the river to our waiting arms.”

The demonization of the entire RIGHT. They are creating an environment that would accept harsher and harsher treatment. Of us.

IT WAS A COUP.

If any of the garbage that the media or the FBI says about right wingers was true, there would have been riots in the weeks following the election when politicians from both parties were refusing to allow full forensic audits. There also would have been a ton of protesters that showed up on January 6th with weapons.

This is more BS like the supposed riots that were gonna take place on inauguration day at state capitals all over the country.

...and by the way, the typical M.O. is that the FBI guy plays the right-wing extremist guy and roams around trying to pull-in otherwise honest people with promises of fighting the Deep State.

Once he’s able to get enough ‘evidence’ from a recruit, they drop the hammer and destroy his life.

It is clearly all lies.

I don’t know Stewart Rhodes, but I know about him. He would not do what is said. (Remember, George Washington led an assault in the Middle of Winter in an impossible night and won Big.)

The Department of Justice has been run by LIARS since Obozo weaponized the Fed Gov.

Yes, our timing was off. That was the time to make waves.

Yes it smells of that... or they find some mentally disturbed kid and rope him in... and the scheme becomes ever more outlandish especially when a prosecutor gets hold of it and goes public (media then write a load of BS)

something isn’t right.

Yet, the FBI isn’t even trying to find who supplied the bricks to the George Floyd rioters or who used lasers to blind Federal police officers in Portland.

Yeah, sure. Miami Vice speedboats across the Potomac to get heavy weapons into DC.

Because bridges and trunks of cars are passe’.

Consider this: What would have happened 100 years ago if the political bosses told people they had a magic machine to count the ballots, so people couldn't watch the ballots be counted? What would the people have done about it?

Right from the beginning this is BS, because there is no Three Percent militia. Never was.

This is just another attempt to portray those who maintain their Oath as terrorists, simply because the left has never valued any oath they’ve ever sworn.

100 years ago the average life expectancy was 50, so people weren’t willing to put up with any crap, because they knew they probably weren’t gonna live that long anyway.

I never thought about how living longer and more comfortably makes people value safety and comfort over freedom and principles, until 2020. It’s enough to make me tell people I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YER GRANDMA!

These stories always turn out to be disinformation.

Always.

Remember the supposed plot by MAGAs to kidnap Whitmer? Lol.
