Former Oath Keeper says group had contact with Secret Service before Jan. 6
The Hill ^ | 10/07/2022 | Chloe Folmar

Posted on 10/07/2022 8:13:18 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A former member of the far-right Oath Keepers organization testified on Thursday that the founder of the group was in contact with the Trump administration’s Secret Service in the months leading up to the November 2020 presidential election.

John Zimmerman, who appeared before a jury at the seditious conspiracy trial of five members of the Oath Keepers, including the organization’s founder, Stewart Rhodes, said he witnessed a phone call between the group’s leader and someone he thought belonged to the Secret Service in September 2020. Zimmerman also said that Rhodes told him he had been in contact with the agency.

Had contact? Since the majority of “Oath Keepers” are undercover Federal Agents wouldn’t most have contact with the Secret Service to get their job assignments?

“...the Trump administration’s Secret Service...”

Yes, we know how well the Trump administrations FBI, CIA, NSA, was under his control.

The Secret Service is undoubtedly as politicized and corrupt as the FBI, DoJ, etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was revealed that the SS, FBI, DoJ, and CIA were all involved up to their dirty necks in the Capitol mostly peaceful riot.

Unreadable pant-load of bias, I never got past the excerpt.
I once took a college class in interpersonal communications.
One of the hand outs was a list of pejorative words and phrases.
Seems this author is trying to use them all.

And the Oath Keepers are NOT “Far Right”.
That is just the slant against anyone who is not a far-left lap-dog!

"I am not buying into this BS. I bet he was forced to say that."

How is this a bad thing? Subpoena the Secret Service in the 118th GOP Congress and ask, "What were your communications leading up to and on the day of January 6, with the person who is actually in charge of the USCP, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi? What were her instructions to the USCP?"

Then haul her in front of the same Committee in chains. "This Agent has testified under oath that you directly told the USCP to quote, "Stand down!", on the afternoon of January 6, and that Agent also says you communicated this to Majority Leader Schumer as well as certain members of the press and your own staff. Is this TRUE?"

The Dims “october surprise” is an attempt at political assassination by a thousand “stab wounds” from slanderous charges against individuals, to totally fraudulent claims in ads, to the slow drip, drip, dirp of “leaks” from the deep state to their fellow traveler media venues.
