In the passage quoted here, I see no evidence of criminality.

[montag813]

“Conspiracy” to trespass? They didn’t even go inside! This is the most ridiculous charge I have seen in over half a century.

[BiglyCommentary]

“charged them with seditious conspiracy,”

Thought Rodes was the only one. Does anyone know if he self identifies as a them?

[TimSkalaBim]

seditious conspiracy, a rarely-used Civil War-era statute reserved for only the most serious of political criminals.

AP using term "political criminals."

Meanwhile, out in Portland, US Attorney Billy Williams dropped all charges with prejudice against the ANTIFA trash who literally fought federal officers to try to break in and burn the Federal courthouse.

But it’s cool cuz they did it at night, so no one home to take the calls. Case closed.

[Steve_Seattle]

In the summer of 2020, a group of BLM supporters occupied several square blocks in central Seattle and declared it an "autonomous zone" (known as "CHAZ"), independent of all established authority, virtually a nation of its own. To me, that very much fits the definition of "sedition."

Nonetheless, they were allowed to remain there for several weeks. No FBI SWAT teams raided it. No federal charges were filed against the organizers. And they wonder why we get mad!

[Georgia Girl 2]

How about charging him with righteous indignation.

[Skywise]

I see Pravda has their talking points for destroying the GOP and ensconcing one party rule.

[jdsteel]

“Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, 56, founded the Oath Keepers in 2009. He and some friends decided they would form an organization around the perception of “imminent tyranny,” concerned about federal overreach and a series of unrecognized threats, like the government was planning to attack its own citizens.”

Convince me he’s wrong about that.

[kiryandil]

Which is why it took a year for the Department of Jesters to go after him.

I'm thinking NOT.

[ronnie raygun]

We are in a fight with our government, period

[Candor7]

The left is convening the Kangaroo Court.

They will never be convicted.

If convicted, they will be pardoned by President Trump.

[Kid Shelleen]

Those Oath Keepers are very crafty. They disguised the insurrection by sending thousands of unarmed revolutionaries to DC and then had a crew dressed like extras from Animal House reboot occupy The Capitol. If the Japanese had thought of that on December 7th, 1941 we would all be speaking Japanese now.

[enumerated]

Why did it take a year to charge Rhodes? He is a fed.

[FlyingEagle]

If it’s AP, it’s lies from Eff Eye Bee and See Hay Eye.

[libertylover]

“refuse to accept it and march en-masse on the nation’s Capitol.”

So, marching on the nation's Capitol is now worthy of a life sentence, or is the death penalty on the table as well?

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

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.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

For BLM, Antifa, and the FBI instigators it was weeks, if not months, in the making.

[JustaTech]

My guess is the charges against Rhodes are a red herring to divert attention from Epps.

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.
