Isn’t 20 kinda young to be an Oathkeeper?

As I remember, when Oathkeepers were formed during the TeaBagger days, the name came from the oath they took as military member & their assertion that the oath didn’t expire when they were discharged.
You can join any branch of the military at 17.
He didn’t though.

If he did, he would still be in, or if somehow he managed a 2 year term he would be in the Reserves for an additional 6 years.

Further confirmation of my hypothesis (first conceived during my time interning at the DOJ) that DEA agents are useless at literally everything. The guy can't even do a television segment on a show where the host and guests spew bullshit correctly.

Somehow I doubt the oath keepers require honorable discharge.

But since we have already seen examples of people who start training, wash out, and then claim they were whatever elite thing the training was for, so I would not be surprised if he showed up for basic training, failed the first week, and the oathkeepers still took him.

Some of the articles I read about Berry said he was “associated with” the oath keepers. He may have never entered the military.

Funny, yes, but the video was cut off pretty abruptly. I'd feel better about my reaction if I'd seen what happened immediately after the guy said he didn't see any evidence of the FBI interfering, if for nothing else than seeing Carlson's probably trademarked stupid face.

I'm off to the doc to see about this really bad "cold" but I'll see if I can find a longer clip while I'm waiting.

"Pre-emptive assault?" Dumb take, great clip :thumbsup:

In other news, being locked up after insurrecting sucks. Apparently. Should've thought ahead. (This is a Proud Boys leader BTW.)

When other folks (especially in the sociological meaning of "other") are locked up, these people are the first to say "Jail is supposed to be unpleasant!"

Hearing now underway for Matthew Loganbill, who admitted to the FBI he told a Capitol officer "we came peacefully this time,” but that “it would be different if we have to come again.”

He also commented sarcastically on Facebook: "I'm just a dumb ‘terrorist' I guess.”

Set a reminder to watch the first hearing by the House select committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot on Tuesday. CBSN’s coverage will begin at 9 a.m. ET. The panel will hear testimony from several Capitol and Metropolitan police officers who responded to the attack on January 6.
Broke the link, there's really nothing there yet.

Was wondering if anyone still has videos of TeaBagger events where the Oafkeepers were present or providing security?

I remember some with Chalice, wanting to try and correlate with the Capitol bunch.

Florida pastor facing U.S. Capitol riot charges has court hearing July 22, 2021, 3:59 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 72-year-old Florida pastor facing federal criminal charges arising from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump took part in a preliminary hearing on Thursday before a judge.

James Cusick Jr., pastor of the Global Outreach Ministries of Melbourne, Florida, faces four misdemeanor charges related to the riot, including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. His son Casey Cusick, 35, also a pastor at his father's church, faces similar charges but did not participate in Thursday's hearing.

One of the their parishioners, David Lesperance, 69, also faces similar charges. Lesperance did not take part in the hearing.

According to an FBI affidavit, Lesperance told investigators that his pastor had attended Trump's speech before the riot and then went to the Capitol building.

At Thursday's hearing, a prosecutor told U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss that consolidating the cases of Cusick, his son and Lesperance was under consideration. A further hearing for James Cusick was set for Sept. 28.

In fairness, he was an accredited DEA officer. He was actually supposed to be carrying his DEA issued weapon.

At least I believe that is so, I do not speak from direct experience so I can be corrected.
