Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the right-wing militia group the Oath Keepers, was arrested Thursday and charged with seditious conspiracy as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.
FBI agents arrested Mr. Rhodes, 56 years old, at his home in Granbury, Texas, his attorney said.
Rhodes had put out a call on the group’s website in the days before the attack for “all patriots who can be in DC” to travel to Washington for a “security mission” to “stand tall in support of President Trump’s fight,” NBC and CNBC report.
Seditious conspiracy is a conspiracy to commit sedition. It is a federal crime in the United States per 18 U.S.C. § 2384…

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
They probably tweeted something stupid. The J6 committee probably referred some of these people. I don’t believe he tried to overturn the government.
I’m starting to be concerned with the tactics of the DOJ and their FBI gestapo. I have no problem if these or anyone has broken the law. They should be investigated and prosecuted. However when the Marxists and anarchists Burnes Looted and Murdered during the summer of love riots, the silence was deafening. In fact our now VP created a bail fund for these thugs. By the way, can someone tell me what exactly that it is that BLM has done for black lives? The only thing that I have seen is that the leaders of this organization have bought themselves million dollar mansions, and where are they getting their money besides the anti-American George Soros.
And lo and below, Ray Epps and Oath Keepers kingpin Stewart Rhodes are old pals in the organization. In fact, Stewart Rhodes was Ray Epps’s old boss. Back in 2011-2012, Epps was the Arizona state chapter leader of the Oath Keepers …..But Epps walks free….???????????
@ GG,
The radio was talking about fedboi Epps and asking how is that not sedition on late night AM.
Cruz talked about it with the whispering into an ear and then the barricades are moved.
The First Amendment protects the right of the to people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Sedition is conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch. See the Problem with Sedition laws in the US? What the Sedition Laws actually do as applied by the DoJ no makes it a crime to “rebel”, question, or petition the Government for a redress of grievances. We need to get to root of the problem with J6; Nancy Pelosi refusing to take common sense measure to secure the Capitol Building. J6 was not an armed rebellion, and the Government is refusing to come clean on the Government Actors inciting the crowd.
Some fam went there heavily masked and they still have the triggering Trump mural painted on the family room wall!
Remember all of those Patriot pages saying don’t go near this false flag kabuki?
Good times.
