TEXAS COMMISSION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT WHITEWASHES MILITIA PROMOTERS
On June 16th, an organization headed by a former Director of the Oath Keepers is scheduled to train law enforcement officers in Meridian, Texas.
Longtime militia-backer Richard Mack’s Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) is the headline training organization for a joint event with the Bosque County Sheriff’s Office. The event is billed as “A Summer Community Event & Texas TCOLE Training Course,” sponsored by the Bosque County Farm Bureau and hosted by Bosque County, Texas Sheriff Trace Hendricks.[1]
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) has not only given its stamp of approval to the far-right training, but law enforcement officers also receive credit for attending. The Meridian training will be the third time this year that TCOLE has awarded continuing education credits for officers attending these far-right training sessions. Moreover, certifying these training sessions appears to be antithetical to many of TCOLE’s statutory requirements.

Sequoia said she was incensed by the recent Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling overturning federal abortion rights. But not just because of her newfound feminism. Rather, it seemed to her like a betrayal of the libertarian-minded conservatism of the people she grew up with—a worldview that she understood to say everyone has the right to privacy from the government.
“And then those same people took it from me,” she said.
A defense attorney for the Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes said Wednesday that members of the group accused of seditious conspiracy will seek a postponement of their upcoming criminal trials amid the Jan. 6 committee's public hearings.
Committee member Rep Jamie Raskin confirmed to CBS News the July 12 committee hearing will focus on the roles and actions of domestic violent extremist groups, conspirators and far right organizations.
An attorney for Rhodes, Phillip Linder, cited the expected focus on the Oath Keepers in seeking a postponement of the Sept. and Nov. 2022 criminal trials.

His defense attorney says Rhodes specifically wants to respond to what Rep Liz Cheney (R-WY) has been saying about the OathKeepers at prior Jan 6 Committee hearings
Not only is Rhodes going to demand the testimony be held LIVE and unedited.. his lawyer says Rhodes will insist it be carried on network TV.. "and not just C-SPAN"
JUST IN: Prosecutors, in a court filing, outlined some of their trial evidence they plan to introduce against the Oath Keepers, including that “co-conspirator Jeremy Brown transported explosives to the Washington, D.C. area on Jan. 6, 2021.”
They may not rate Florence but the CMU at Terre Haute (or Marion) might be in their future. Say hi to flatcap.
