Oath Keepers Leader Bought Arsenal of Weapons Ahead of Jan. 6
The prosecution in the seditious conspiracy trial of Stewart Rhodes and other members of the militia introduced evidence that he spent as much as $20,000 on rifles, ammunition and other equipment.
In the days before a pro-Trump mob including members of his own organization broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia, went on a cross-country weapon-buying spree.
Setting out for Washington from Texas, his home state, Mr. Rhodes stopped at least six times, bank records show, purchasing items like assault-style rifles, ammunition and scopes. Sometimes he dropped into gun shops and sometimes he conducted the transactions in parking lots with private sellers he met online.
By the time he reached his destination, prosecutors said on Monday at the trial of Mr. Rhodes and four of his subordinates on seditious conspiracy charges, the Oath Keepers leader had spent as much as $20,000 on what amounted to a small arsenal that included at least three rifles and an Israeli-made semiautomatic shotgun.
Prosecutors have not yet told the jury precisely what Mr. Rhodes did with the weapons he amassed as he and a lawyer for the Oath Keepers, Kellye SoRelle, made their way from Texas, through Mississippi and Tennessee, to the Hilton Garden Inn in Vienna, Va., where they stayed on Jan. 6.

So he bought a bunch of firearms he didn't use or even attempt to use?

Huh.

---

Weren't you saying they weren't armed?

---

Maybe I read your article wrong. Are you saying they brought these with them to January 6th, and had it on their person? Must have missed that in your article. Can you point out where it says they were armed?

---

What are you, crazy? The guns were right there in the next state across the border! Lol

---

It is a very interesting definition of "armed," that's for sure.

I didn't realize I was considered "armed" even when I leave my guns at home.

---

If you travel 1,000 miles buying weapons along the way, you stash your weapons aa couple of miles away in a hotel, a confederate is in the hotel in constant communication with you, and he offers to bring them to you when you need them ....
Rhodes had the weapons on call and said he was sorry he had not sent for them.
The above is from Rhodes phone & sworn testimony

---

So the weapons stayed in a neighboring state and were never brought to the capitol. Got it.

---

Perhaps he believes they should be prosecuted for their thoughts. Scary stuff.

---

The point is that it's an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.

---

That may be your point, but Oso's point, to which I was responding, was they were armed. Do you agree?

---

I would only call them armed if they carried weapons (not necessarily guns) at the time. Many rioters did. I don't know about any of the Oath Keepers.

---

So, I think we can agree that obviously, storing weapons a few miles away instead of carrying on your person does not make you armed, correct?

Based on my research, about 3 dozen people were accused of carrying weapons that day. Most of these "weapons" weren't guns, but instead either stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats or flagpoles. It's interesting how few people actually carried weapons, and especially deadly weapons, for this purported insurrection. It almost seems more like a rowdy protest than an insurrection.

---

The Coup of 18 Brumaire almost seemed like a lively legislative debate, complete with procedural maneuvers, double-crosses behind the scenes, and a dash of theatrics from Napoleon's brother. Almost, until the coup was accomplished without a shot being fired.

Son of Confederate flag-toting man in Capitol on Jan. 6 sentenced
Hunter Seefried, 22, was sentenced to two years in prison after leading charge through broken window, chasing police officer

A Delaware man who helped lead the initial break-in and mob pursuit of a police officer in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol was sentenced to 24 months in prison Monday after delivering what a federal judge called "probably the most sincere and most effective" statement of apology by anyone he has sentenced in the attack.

Hunter Seefried said he was deeply sorry for and ashamed of his actions, asking himself every day how he came to participate "in a day that will forever represent a stain on the character of our country."

"I offer my sincerest apology to the country, its schoolchildren, and everyone who saw the worst of me and everyone on January 6," Seefried said. He also apologized to the courts, government and his parents, "who my criminal behavior has placed in the spotlight."

convicted of "obstructing a government proceeding" by entering a government building thru a broken window to engage in protest.

Sounds fitting.

Now. If we hold the left accountable for the same, we will have restored proper balance to social contract. And it is important to do that, lest insurrection break out. Thankfully, we haven't gotten there yet.

They are on trial for sedition - "any means necessary"

According to prosecutors, members of the Oath Keepers entered the Capitol as a team in "stack formation," a single-file military tactic, and some of them later clashed with law enforcement. Prosecutors also accused the members of stationing equipment and weapons just outside Washington that day and planning to ferry them into the city to support the group's operations, though they didn't ultimately do so.
Jason Dolan, a former Oath Keepers member now cooperating with prosecutors, testified last week that the group was prepared to stop Congress from confirming the 2020 election result "by any means necessary," including armed combat.

totally prepared to stop election by leaving weapons in another state..

Thats a good one..

They are on trial in a venue where the Jury is 95% 'Progressive', killing any real chance at a fair trial.

We now know why the demonstration on J6 got out of hand. Look closely.

violent protest, sounds a lot like a riot..

Lol and violent rebellion, what rebellion? There hasn't been a rebellion in this country in decades

Rebellion- Open, armed, and organized resistance to a constituted government.

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes guilty of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

A federal jury on Tuesday convicted Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes of seditious conspiracy for leading a months-long plot to unleash political violence to prevent the inauguration of President Biden, culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The panel of seven men and five women deliberated for three days before finding Rhodes and a co-defendant guilty of conspiring to oppose by force the lawful transition of presidential power. Rhodes and all four co-defendants on trial were also convicted of obstructing Congress as it met to confirm the results of the 2020 election. Both offenses are punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Rhodes, in a dark suit and black eye-patch from an old gun accident, stood at the defense table, watching impassively as verdicts were read for the defendants facing a 13-count indictment.
The indictment brought against Rhodes, 56, and other Oath Keepers associates in January was the first time the U.S. government leveled thehistorically rare charge of seditious conspiracy in the massive Jan. 6 investigation. He is the highest-profile figure to face trial in connection with rioting by angry Trump supporters who injured scores of officers and ransacked offices, forcing the evacuation of lawmakers.
Rhodes and followers, dressed in combat-style gear, converged on the Capitol after staging an "arsenal" of weapons at nearby hotels, ready to take up arms at Rhodes's direction, the government charged. Rhodes's defense said he and co-defendants came to Washington as bodyguards and peacekeepers, bringing firearms only in case Trump met their demand to mobilize private militia to stop Biden from becoming president.

This is the Jan Congressional committee

"The committee has determined that referrals to outside entities should be considered as a final part of its work," a committee spokeswoman said Tuesday. Mr. Trump has said he did nothing wrong and has accused the Jan. 6 committee of being a partisan witch hunt.
