Oath Keepers leader and 10 others charged with 'seditious conspiracy' related to US Capitol attack​

(CNN)The Justice Department escalated its January 6 investigation by bringing seditious conspiracy charges against 11 defendants, including the leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes.
The latest accusations -- with a charge that had not previously been brought in the department's US Capitol attack prosecutions -- remove any sense that prosecutors believe the riot emerged from just a group of overzealous protestors, with new details about the planning and logistics alleged to have predated the Capitol breach.
The Justice Department until now had been careful not to push the idea of sedition, instead charging defendants affiliated with right-wing groups with conspiracy to obstruct the congressional proceeding on January 6. The seditious conspiracy charge carries the same possible consequence as an obstruction charge, but is rarely used, politically loaded and has been difficult for the Justice Department to use successfully against defendants in the past.

Given what's happened in this country over the last 5-7 years....

 

[livingston]

This is a charge that could be used against Democrats that tried to take out Trump...

 

[96coal449]

I find this to be good news.

Now the Oath Keepers have been attacked.

Let it be known, who drew first blood.

 

[Saltwater60]

Well if it only took them a year to figure out how to do this I’m guessing it won’t be that. They would have had all the conversations with in a few days at most.
Also the leader of the path keepers says he has to do what they call sedition and prevent the peaceful transfer of power between Trump and Biden that he had to act, so now does this mean Trump and his administration are off the hook? I mean if this guy says he has to act because pence and trump won’t doesn’t that absolve Trump of said action?

Its a political maneuver to be able to paint GOP members as participating in "sedition" to disqualify them for office per the Constitution

War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

When this country and world no longer making
sense, to where down is up and up is down, we are living this duplicitous doublespeak every day where it seems more fitting to a dystopian science fiction novel, maybe the plot twist is we actually are living in one.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Completely ignore the actual real seditious conspiracy to remove and chronically undermine an actual duly elected president by the deep state.

Such bullshit

Whatever the DemonRats are accusing others of doing, is exactly what they have, are and continue to do.

The fUSA is dead meat, now there's just fighting over the carcass by hyenas and vultures.

Why the indictment of Oath Keeper Stewart Rhodes should scare a lot of people

Merrick Garland and the DOJ have charged Rhodes and 10 other Oath Keepers with “seditious conspiracy.” That crime is, in effect, treason’s sibling.

www.nbcnews.com

As to the first pivotal marker, the indictment establishes for the first time the Justice Department's confidence that it can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the violence was meant to intimidate Congress to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election. “The purpose of the conspiracy,” the grand jury has charged, “was to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force, by preventing, hindering, or delaying by force the execution of the laws governing the transfer of power.”
Prosecutors say lead defendant Rhodes himself sent this message to other Oath Keepers on Christmas Day 2020: “I think Congress will screw [President Trump] over. The only chance we/he has is if we scare the s--- out of them and convince them it will be torches and pitchforks time if they don’t do the right thing.”

Second, in complex cases of organized criminal activity, early conspiracy charges are generally preliminary steps in determining who else was leading the scheme. Beyond the 11 named Oath Keepers, the indictment specifically states that the seditious conspiracy involved “others, known and unknown.” In a conspiracy, those “others” need only have been involved in a single “overt act” and have shared its unlawful purpose to be criminally liable.
The indictment alleges that as early as Nov. 22, 2020, a Florida branch of the Oath Keepers conducted a training in “unconventional warfare.” In December, the North Carolina chapter “held a training session that... focused on ‘vehicle operations, roadblocks, vehicle recovery, convoy operations... setting up hasty ambushes, and reacting to ambushes,” and how to “fall into formation when we assemble.”

Projection, they have mastered it, and with the help of big media, big tech and billionaires like bloomberg, soros, etc... they have been on the warpath.

I didnt read the article, but my question is.... What are the oathkeepers going to do about it.

No convictions will occur on these charges. Bet?

The entire truth will come out. Arresting and charging these men was not a good thing for the opposition.

 

[tirwin1]

Prediction: the press reaction to the initial charges will dwarf the press reaction to the final resolution.

I agree, This is the Rittenhouse prosecution in bulk.

The left *had* to charge *someone* with sedition in order to keep their insurrection narrative alive. These guys are the victims.

I would expect that organizations like OK have FBI plants or informants. There is no way that any large group of people that are right of center politically will not have under cover agents.

Watched part of it. I laughed when in the first few minutes Trump referred to the election as "Bullshit" and it came across loud and clear on Newsmax without a bleep.

Apparently one charged with sedition is a local(ish) guy to us Hudson Valley folks.
Might even be someone here has had a tattoo done by him. (it's possible)

Newburgh tattoo artist charged with sedition in new Capitol riot case with militia leader

Roberto Minuta, a Newburgh tattoo shop owner already facing Capitol riot charges, was indicted on seditious conspiracy with the Oath Keepers leader.

www.recordonline.com

It also says there, "Minuta is one of 13 current and former Hudson Valley residents charged in connection with the Capitol riot".
I hadn't before heard there were so many close to home.
