But what do the texts have to do with the price of tea?

Is he trying to say that the missing texts were the ones giving him permission to overthrow the government?

Accused OathKeeper conspiracy defendant Thomas Caldwell wants to argue his veterans' disability status at trial:

"Because his status made him ineligible to be called upon by the President under the Insurrection Act to act as a member of the militia"

the mob was not activated by the former impotus, so what? Explain please your presence at the Capitol.

Despite requests to delay trial.. or move trial outta DC... accused OathKeepers seditious conspiracy defendants are set to go on trial in DC federal court next month. (Judge and attorneys discussed pretrial motion schedule yesterday)

Highest-level case so far.

I will personally be disappointed with anything less than 20 years.

My expectation is the moment a Republican president is elected, they'll all be pardoned.

[Gregg]

My expectation is the moment a Republican president is elected, they'll all be pardoned.

I am hoping that in the next 18 months the Republican party implodes in a poof of hate and bad karma, and that we have seen our last Republican President. Remember the Whigs? They collapsed almost over lunch one day with one sect realizing Slavery was going to destroy the country leaving the Form the Republican Party and one sect going full bug nut crazy, God intended the black man to be a slave etc... which faded into oblivion in less than one cycle.

Trump's legacy will be that he was so vile he destroyed the GOP in less than 8 years, JUST LIKE LINDSEY GRAHAM SAID HE WOULD.

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

Justice Dept reveals it will call FBI agent to testify about significance of alleged "stack" formation .. and "The government also intends to introduce evidence regarding the military and/or law enforcement background of many of the defendants and their alleged co-conspirators.."

JUST IN: Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes has replaced his attorneys and says he wants to delay his trial at least 90 days.

His new attorney is Louisiana-based Edward Tarpley Jr., who said Rhodes had a breakdown in communications with his previous attorneys >>>

New from ADL: Leaked Oath Keepers’ Membership List Reveals Hundreds of Current & Former Law Enforcement Officers, Members of Military, and Elected Officials
ADL also unveils interactive map displaying number of Oath Keepers members by state and position held

New York, NY, September 7, 2022 … New analysis today from ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) Center on Extremism finds that the leaked membership list for the Oath Keepers, a right-wing anti-government extremist group, includes hundreds of elected officials, law enforcement officers, members of the military and first responders.

In September 2021, the non-profit journalist collective Distributed Denial of Secrets released the membership database for the Oath Keepers organization. The membership data, which includes more than 38,000 names, provides unique insight into the people who signed up for the organization over the years, and helps illuminate the extent to which the group’s anti-government ideology has permeated mainstream society.

Empty wheel has a long thread. Apparently Judge Mehta was not happy and ripped Rhodes apart

[Kendra]

NEW: Kellye SoRelle, general counsel for the Oath Keepers, tells me — now that she's been indicted — that she'd take the fifth if called to testify at Stewart Rhodes' trial later this month.

"You don't give the DOJ free shots at your ass," she said.
