BREAKING: Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far-right Oath Keepers, is found guilty of seditious conspiracy in a major Jan. 6 trial.

All five defendants on trial in this case were charged with seditious conspiracy but only one in addition to Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, was found guilty. The three other defendants — Jessica Watkins, Kenneth Harrelson and Thomas Caldwell — were acquitted on that central charge. Prosecutors accused the five of plotting to prevent, by any means necessary including force, the peaceful transfer of presidential power to Joe Biden.

In the weeks that followed, the defendants began taking steps to coordinate their activities. Rhodes, meanwhile, kept urging his followers to resist a potential Biden presidency, which he said would be an illegitimate puppet regime of Communist China.

NPR. , Isn’t that an arm of the Rothschild family and their grandson Klaus Schwab

I hope he dies in prison

And just like that, the Left is now “tough on crime” and all about “law & order”

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

everyone knows he’s a rino friend of fraudulent Flynn

Did you ever study the trials the nazis held After the attempt on hitlers life? I do. How about the Salem witch trials? Or the Spanish Inquisition? The Russian GULAGS? How about a million OUIGHERS Imprisoned In China slave camps? See commonalitiesBetween theseAnd democrats today?

Gets overturned on appeal.

Not a real crime

From what I'd heard he squealed like a stuck-pig, and caved to the Fascist/Lefties, stating what THEY wanted him to say. There are some noble and patriotic Oath Keepers who are resisting the Stalinists. Only Democrats are capable of denying the obvious political prisoners.

This is awesome reality!

Meanwhile, Apple turned off Air Drop in China during their protests so protesters could not get their stories out. Apple is complicit in the corruption and persecution by the Chinese Communist regime.

Let's never hear about him again.

When cosplay goes wrong

He never entered the building and the big plan was to have 3 guys go in? The guy sounds crazy but no master general

MikeORourkenews Bye Felicia

elonmusk was just about to reinstate his twitter account. or maybe he did already, kinda how he promotes fascism in all aspects but then couches it with HIS free speech bs

“Two more seditious conspiracy trials — one involving more Oath Keepers & the other a group of Proud Boys — are set to start in the coming weeks.” Let’s hope there’s more GREAT NEWS like this to come!!! 🤞

Eeeeellllllmmmmmeeeeeerrrrrrr

what a glorious headline to eclipse the truth about the Q shooter in Colorado or the WalMart shooter in VA. Something you can gloat over for a few weeks. We all know how fair and honest the Jan 6 proceedings have been. Just look how all the people being held are being treated.

When will the ‘Party of Lincoln’ learn he didn’t work to preserve ‘…government of the armed mob, by the armed mob and for the armed mob?’

I expect Ray Epps will be next. NPR should cover that guy too.

Amateur

Less than 0.01% of the entire population of the USA follow this far right group....not super popular even amongst conservatives. Nothing more than a blip.

Interesting. Testimony that said there was never a verbal statement to obstruct passage of the presidency nor to enter the capitol was ignored by the jury and testimony that said these things were 'implied' was accepted! WHAT? So glad they can read minds and prosecute on it.

This country has become a complete joke. We have no judicial system and no American founding ideals anymore.

Now put him at the end of a rope

Traitors used to be treated w a short drop and quick stop.

Potential sentence length?

Lock that thing up.

Texts and emails oh my! How seditious. I bet he was also overheard at Starbucks saying Let’s Go Bran….. Wait. If I finish typing that will I be put in jail too? Everybody needs to think before you speak.

Heyyyy you guyyyyyssss

You have to keep an eye on this one.

He looks the part.

Sam_Wunderle Great news for our country.

Oath Keepers, along with the Proud Boys, should be labelled domestic terrorist organizations.

Dear Former Occupant realDonaldTrump You worried? Sedition...that sounds serious

Get that other eye

Took them long enough.

Now do the rest of them🤣🤣

Remember when defenders of these losers kept saying 'no one's been charged with sedition' as a defense? Ahh, good times.

So what does he get, 25 to life?

I suppose any group of people who sware to uphold their oaths to the constitution would he considered seditious by tyrants. The guilt of association.

Rhodes is out 👋🏻

Guy curates his outward appearance as a middle finger to society can't figure out why he doesn't fit into society and I guess now that won't be a problem for him.

FAFO

Great, now do Roger Stone & TrVmp

Good. Put him away. Traitors belong in prison or on the gallows.

YES!!! Let justice be swift, harsh, and merciless.

Dalocoengineer

Show trail BS! All is theatre!

Why don't you tell everyone why he is wearing an eye patch?

A win for law and order but in all honesty, swifter judgements would do our society better justice

I love this for him! May he have the day he deserves!

I guess you could say he didn’t have an eye for making good decisions

Meanwhile

Who cares but the left. Why didn't you report on the mostly peaceful riots that did 1000 times more damage than 3 hours. National Puff Riots

Lock him up!!

One scumbag down.

Rhodes must have skipped class at Yale Law the day they discussed sedition. He got his degree anyway.

Treason is treason!! Justice served!

If he’s not locked up and stays in prison for 5 years. All this was worthless

cue the RepMTG meltdown

14000hours releasethefootage

lol

Don’t both sides this. You have been very disappointing in your reporting in recent years. Long time yearly donor who is frequently aghast.

This is a good start.

He should have used my lawyer

Justice was served.

...his parting comment was, 'ARRRRrrrrrgh!'...

He was literally working for Donald trump.
