WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Two days after the presidential election on Nov. 2, 2020, the Oath Keepers were already convinced that victory had been stolen from President Donald Trump and members of the far-right militia group were making plans to march on the U.S. Capitol.
“We aren’t getting through this without a civil war,” the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, wrote fellow members, according to court documents. “Too late for that. Prepare your mind. body. spirit.”
Five days after the election, when The Associated Press and other news outlets declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner, the documents say Rhodes told Oath Keepers to “refuse to accept it and march en-masse on the nation’s Capitol.”
The indictment last week of Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, and 10 other members or associates was stunning in part because federal prosecutors, after a year of investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, charged them with seditious conspiracy, a rarely-used Civil War-era statute reserved for only the most serious of political criminals.

Why did it take a year to charge Rhodes? He is a fed.
If it’s AP, it’s lies from Eff Eye Bee and See Hay Eye.
So, marching on the nation's Capitol is now worthy of a life sentence, or is the death penalty on the table as well?
Aren’t all the oath keepers feds?
The indictment last week of Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, and 10 other members or associates was stunning in part because federal prosecutors, after a year of investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, charged them with seditious conspiracy, a rarely-used Civil War-era statute reserved for only the most serious of political criminals.
Its a Bullsh!t charge to keep him from being really questioned on his role with the feds. By charging him with this, it takes him off the table to be questioned. The charge is rarely enforced. Watch, they will do the same thing with Ray Epps in a couple of weeks.
For BLM, Antifa, and the FBI instigators it was weeks, if not months, in the making.
I wish Trump would sue Hillary et all for seditious conspiracy.
“He’s a fed”
.
I was thinking that as well
.
Perhaps “they” had a Falling out?
Once a Cop,
Always a cop.
Darren Beatty of revolver.news has been investigating this for a year.
In a nutshell, he showed that the lower level oath keepers were rotting in prison largely because they were caught on video with Rhodes, or caught texting with him, yet Rhodes himself was not even being questioned. Obvious conclusion: Rhodes is a fed and is being protected.
But Beatty has been pushing this so hard that finally last week it came to a head and several US senators - Cruz, Cotten and others - began asking the Feds if Start Rhodes and Ray Epps were feds - if Jan 6 was an FBI operation - and if not, then why are these two not being investigated.
The very next day they indict Rhodes - obviously Beatty and these Senators forced their hand - they had to indict Rhodes to try and debunk Beatty’s narrative - but it will be interesting to see if Rhodes ever sees the inside of a jail cell.
I doubt it.

Hey, don't worry about some little fish like Epps because we just snagged the big fish on seditious conspiracy!
Expect the charges to be dropped later with little fanfare.
He should have called it a “Million Man March” ... now that I think of it, there was that women’s march on Washington that was led by a bunch of extremists, one an actual Palestinian bomber of a grocery store.
