at trial in decades and are significant because the legally complex charge can be difficult for juries to grasp and for prosecutors to prove, especially in an ultimately unsuccessful plot. The sprawling Capitol riot probe has already led to the arrest of more than 900 people across the U.S. and could result in hundreds of more charges, but Rhodes and his associates were the first to stand trial on the Civil War-era offense.
“If I am a defense attorney for any of those defendants, today I am reaching out to my client to say: ‘We need to have a conversation about whether you still want to go to trial,’” said Barbara McQuade, who served as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.Rhodes never went into the Capitol, but prosecutors spent weeks making the case that he rallied his followers, amassed weapons and prepared armed teams outside Washington with the goal of stopping Biden from becoming president.
Ultimately, it appeared that Rhodes’ testimony was outweighed by the vast volume of his own writings, text messages and a recorded conversation. The Justice Department also has issued a wave of subpoenas related to a scheme to elevate alternate, or fake, electors in battleground states who would invalidate Biden’s win. It has scrutinized the fundraising practices of Trump’s political action committee, with subpoenas seeking records of communications with Trump-allied lawyers who supported efforts to overturn the election results.
Jan. 6th the same version of Russia, Russia, Russia. Nothing there! Complete Left BS!!
Not sure if you can charge one person with sedition and think your case is bolstered. 🤷🏻♂️
It shows jurors are willing to to hold accountable instigators, Masterminds failed Coup D'etat traitors as well. The sooner the better.
wokeness kills supremacy
R they gonna do the same to ex Twitter execs that willfully influenced the election?
No, it shows conservatives can't get a fair trial in the far-left DC judicial system.
I don’t recall Pence bailing out people attacking federal buildings
LOL. Mr Army Man shot himself in the eye. With his own gun. It’s true. That’s why he wears an eye patch.
shows nothing and a mistrial is needed
So what did they do? BLM burned buildings down, destroyed police vehicles, looted many stores and destroyed their businesses! Why haven’t they been arrested and jailed
DC juries are somewhat predictable.
What about Ray Epps?
is
A DC jury.
Lesson: Have faith in the rule of law.
OMG!! Who cares?
They're 'willing' because that's where the evidence points.
Not sure it shows that; but it shows the strong power the media and politicians have over regular people.
What did speakerpelosi know and when ?
NOT RIOTERS!! Seditious conspirators who started their planning in November 2020
They bagged the criminal mastermind.
Still no trial of Ray Epps.
But remember kids, you can burn police stations, run the cops out, create an autonomous zone with its own title, (FOR THREE WEEKS) murder people, including 14 year old kids, etc…And not be charged with sedition..murder-rioting, yes, but not sedition.
That was the point.
“This document—together with a photograph of the moment inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6—proves that the prosecution is lying to the jury” Release ALL video!
Doesn’t that suggest that the jury are already biased and if you have a biased jury, you’re rigging the outcome?
How many fbi agents were undercover and among the protesters on Jan 6th?
But the rioters who burned and looted countless US cities still roam free.
Like a DC court wasn’t going to find them guilty after the manufactured fedsurrection.
Lets dust off the ol' guillotine and makes some MAGA chud salad (the salad that has a lower IQ than all other salads).
It should be noted DC is 92% Democrat.
