The Justice Department has unsealed a major indictment charging the leader of the Oath Keepers militia group along with multiple other members with seditious conspiracy related to their alleged coordination in advance of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. This marks the Justice Department's first Jan. 6 indictment using the seditious conspiracy charge, which accuses Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and other members of the group of conspiring to "to oppose by force the execution of the laws governing the transfer of presidential power" from former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden.

But they had the evidence months ago; there was enough in the Revolver article to indict, and that was last summer. Rhodes clearly thought something big was in the works, and he thought he was part of it. Now the question is, why did he think that, and who led him to think that?
To: Scott from the Left Coast
If they were a "militia," what evidence is there of holding military training or exercises? The "cache of weapons" in Virginia is also bull: the Oath Keepers group knew carrying them in DC would be illegal, so they left their personal arms in Virginia.
This is a bucket of Binger-like fraudulent charges.

I think the Oath Keepers is largely composed of former members of the military and law enforcement, so they would have had training at some point. Were those men who scaled the wall with military precision on January 6th Oath Keepers, other people who have been charged, or persons unknown?

Only because the DOJ was pressured did this happen. Now the
DOJ will do nothing to act on the indictments.

That may have something to do with it. I'll be interested to hear what Revolver News has to say about these developments.
As I said in another post, the Revolver story focusing on Rhodes - months ago - quoted many of his telephone communications and other social media posts. He clearly believed that he was part of a major operation, and that the military and even the president were in on it. He spoke of stored weapons, of a boat with extra supplies, of reinforcements - like it was a big military operation, and he was a key player. My question, again, is, why did he think that and who made him think it?

Anyone remember 2016 after the election, all the riots, threats, even the electors getting death threats? Funny how nobody was charged with sedition then.

"Well now, what about the pallets of bricks that were dropped off at strategic locations in Portland, Seattle, Chicago and other cities for the riots during the summer of love? Will they be charged with seditious conspiracy?"
Or the CHAZ fiasco in Seattle where BLM supporters took over several city blocks and declared themselves an "autonomous zone" independent of all existing authority. Isn't that the actual definition of "sedition"? Was anyone charged with sedition? Not to my knowledge.

Per an ABC report between segments of the Bongino show, this case involves plans by people in O.K. to get and smuggle guns into positions FOR an armed insurrection. Now I get why the index finger and thumb together in what we used to call A-okay, is racist and white supremacist. Oath Keepers initials are OK..... I have been so wrong for so long. The Libtards are always correct, they have always been and will always be correct.

A lot of FR folks thought so, too. I think Q told them.
