"The QRF teams guarded an arsenal of firearms and related equipment and were prepared to speed those weapons into the hands of co-conspirators on the ground in Washington when directed by Rhodes or other conspiracy leaders," prosecutors wrote in a court filing.
During a hearing Wednesday, the judge asked a prosecutor why authorities believe the Oath Keepers didn't activate a QRF team. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Rakoczy said they didn't need to because group members had breached the Capitol without it. Rhodes spent over $15,000 on firearms and related equipment in the week before the Capitol riot and bought more than $17,000 in additional firearms-related equipment between Jan. 6 and Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021, according to prosecutors. Mehta said the quantity and timing of those gun purchases isn't consistent with somebody buying them for self-defense.
"When that did not happen, Rhodes and others took no action. They left the Capitol grounds and went to dinner," the defense attorneys wrote.
