The ex-wife and son of the founder of the Oath Keepers are expressing concern that their safety could be compromised if former President Trump pardons Stewart Rhodes in a potential second term.

Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol. The Oath Keepers are seen as one of the main groups involved in the attack. Trump has said he would pardon rioters from that day should he win the White House.

In an interview with USA Today, Rhodes’s ex-wife, Tasha Adams, said she fears the safety of herself and her six children might be at risk should Stewart be free from behind bars.

“He is somebody that had a kill list — always,” she said. “And obviously, now I’m on this list, and so are some of my kids, I’m sure.”

True statement. But what also is despicably true is that many of them were not even remotely engaged in rioting. Their “crime” was setting foot on the grounds or halls within Congress, the very halls and grounds that their taxes pay for. It was cruel and unusual punishment, a repugnant travesty of “justice.”

I noticed that too.

Bullshit. This case against him was ridiculous from the start. He did nothing wrong. Pardon him immediately. He also needs to receive a healthy chunk of the massive damage award Trump forces the DOJ to pay the Jan 6 political prisoners.

she wasn’t worried about his ‘kill list’ when she testified against him.

Convicted of Sidious Conspiracy and yet Democrat pols walk around free.
