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.

Since no one in the supposed conspiracy was armed, it seems rather dubious. This era reminds me a bit of the Alien and Sedition acts of 1798, that led to the demise of the Federalist Party. Hopefully the Democrats will meet a similar political fate.

Doubt it, most likely have possession of his phone which would give them access to everything including but Signal itself compromised, not likely. Anything is possible though, but I doubt this is the case. Possession of the hardware is the most likely explanation.

And they still won’t charge Pelosi and the Democrats for kneeling in fealty to a Marxist anti-American organization and not only applauding but actively supporting the destruction of cities throughout 2020.

This will not stand.

Thousands, not hundreds. The Capitol Police has over 2,000 officers.

Otherwise, I agree with your points.

Smells of relentless entrapment just as in the Whitmer case. Can’t believe anything from the feds.

Signal may not be compromised, but if a phone is confiscated and signal messages were not deleted, then they are right there for anyone to see. Signal only encrypts the message in transit. At least thats been my understanding.

They need to replace the inflation headline with something... It’s killing them.

I thought “sedition” was gone as a legal concept as a First Amendment violation.

I suspect there is no evidence for these charges, but the prosecution knows a Washington DC jury is going to hear all of the non-evidence, and they know they’ll have a democrat judge so even with no evidence any DC jury is going to convict any Trump supporter for anything.

“Signal is compromised. Act accordingly.”

Roger that. Heard about 6 months ago that there was a theoretically exploitable vulnerability in it.

“This is surprising - what took them so long?”

pressuring other oath keepers to flip and provide grand jury testimony.

why did they wait until now to charge him?

Biden's Justice Dept. finally buckled to Twitter bleucheques who have been screaming to charge someone with anything other than misdemeanor trespassing for this "Greatest attack on American soil since 9/11!"

The Deep State has a particular fear of Oath Keepers because of their emphasis that the security forces, both police and military, actually think about their oath of office and remain true to it.

Any such organization is a daily reminder to the DOJ and FBI that they, in fact, are the seditious conspiracy and have failed to honor their oaths.

They would like Cheney to run for VP instead of Kamala but that would offend the black voters.
