Four Oath Keepers found guilty of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

Four Oath Keepers found guilty of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

Source: Washington Post

Four members of the far-right Oath Keepers group were convicted of seditious conspiracy Monday, joining founder Stewart Rhodes in being found guilty by a jury of plotting to keep President Donald Trump in power by force. 

Seditious conspiracy charges are rarely used and even more rarely successful. At Rhodes’s trial only he and Florida Oath Keepers leader Kelly Meggs were found guilty of the crime, while three associates were convicted of less politically-loaded charges. 

Joseph Hackett, 52, ; Roberto Minuta, 38; David Moerschel, 45 and Edward Vallejo, 64, were described by federal prosecutors as armed and dangerous traitors, and by their attorneys as hapless has-beens who stumbled into chaos. 

“They claimed to wrap themselves in the Constitution, but they trampled it,” prosecutor Jeffrey Nestler said in closing arguments. “They ignored the will of the people,” he said, but “had the audacity to claim to be oath-keepers.”

So of the thousands and thousands of participants in the rioting that went on we have

300 federal cases brought forward.

with 120 guilty pleas and maybe more than 70 people so far most getting sentenced to 27 months and just 10 got prison sentences of five years or more.     does that sound fair and evenly applied law???   

 

how many from jan 6th have been locked up since then or close to that date??            and for what, some were just walking through the doors that were opened by capitol police.       shits lop sided and to deny that is ignorant/

Only Trumpers are dumb enough to commit crimes with their faces in plain view and broadcast it to the world. There’s your answer.

But can they change a fuse? 

Most likely. But that just means their dad taught them to change a fuse but he also was too stupid to know when he was being played by a con man. :lol:
