The indictment does not indicate how they came to the conclusion that this group was engaged in actual seditious activity and the allegations are vague to say the least. There is no actual description of the weapons that were supposedly in their possession that were illegal, nor is there any specific indication that they had actually done any specific act in furtherance of any specific intent conspiracy.

I agree. When reading the indictment, it seemed real touchy-feely to me....real short on actual crimes committed.

The crimes are of the "by-interpretation" variety. No instance of any hurt person or damaged property whatsoever

The MSM won't let the facts get in their way.

I started to compose a comment in the same vein. The indictment is short on descriptive observation. I could tell from the Libby indictment that the government had a good case, because the indictment recited specific evidence (to be proven, sure, but a summary of the evidence was provided.)

There are no quotes of what was said by the defendants. Not ONE quote.

I may fish up other indictments that ring of conspiracy, for comparison. Meanwhile, these guys are going to get bail denied, and likely 18 months or more of incarceration before a trial. Heck, that 16 year old kid who made hoax bomb threats has been held w/o bail for about a year (and 900 miles from home!), no trial yet.
