Capital Riots – Oath Keepers’ leader pleads guilty to trying to overthrow the US government

In an article called “Capitol riots: Far-right leader pleads guilty to trying to overthrow government” by Isabel Keane of Metro, a first important shoe dropped on a more serious set of charges of seditious conspiracy for the January 6 insurrection.

“The leader of the Alabama chapter of the right-wing Oath Keepers militia group pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to charges of seditious conspiracy and obstruction related to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Joshua James, 34, pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from his role in leading the assault on the Capitol, the US Department of Justice announced in a news release on Wednesday.

He is the first person involved in the deadly assault on the US Capitol to be convicted of seditious conspiracy, a rarely used charge considered to be a serious but lesser form of treason.

James, a co-defendant in a criminal case involving Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, pleaded guilty Wednesday, which could potentially cause issues for the 10 others named in the criminal case accused of working to prevent the the transfer of presidential power to Joe Biden following his win against Trump.”

Also this week, a report put forth by the House Committee noted there is evidence the former president is guilty of criminal conspiracy. It will be up to the Justice Department to decide if they want to bring charges. This is not a witch hunt, nor was the insurrection a false flag operation as evidenced by this and other guilty pleas. We cannot allow people to try and overthrow our government to alter the outcome of a fair election, especially for someone who has failed to prove any wrong-doing after loads of money were poured into trying to do so and losing all but one court case out of 65 or so and every vote recount, audit and review.

If that were not enough, the people who funded the legal costs of the lawsuits for Trump want their money back as they felt they were misled. That, and the fact, Giuliani and other attorneys had their law licenses suspended for bringing frivolous cases. Today, the former president is lashing out at his Attorney General William Barr because he repeated the known story that he told the former president his election fraud claims were bulls**t.”

    • VJ, lashing out in retaliation has been his modus operandi long before he ran for office. He has thrown many a tantrum in his life. A friend of mine used an old line as a father, it is like a little girl getting so mad when she gets her dress stuck on her head when she fails to unbutton it. Donald Trump’s tantrums are like that.

  1. Note to Readers: It is sad to see people line up to serve the whims of a person with a fragile ego and untruthful bent not realizing he would not give them the time of day. One of the early stories about the insurrection was the former president was embarrassed by the costumes some of the insurrectionists wore and tried to distance himself from the trouble he instigated. He never would listen to the folks who told him he was wrong about the election fraud or overturning the election, instead listening to sycophants selling him pipe dreams. After giving him the chance to prove his allegations, he failed miserably to prove wrong doing. At that point, real GOP leaders would have publicly stated this election is over and Trump lost. Let’s move forward. And, not just once as he is known to have selective hearing.

    • Stewart Rhodes is a traitor to his own allies. He betrayed somebody in 2015, who was sued by Righthaven LLC in 2011. Rhodes is a sociopath. See the filed sentencing letter on Scribd.

      Search up: “Declaration in Support of Sentencing for Stewart Rhodes | PDF | Plea | Plea Bargain”; You will find it by searching up the title and the document can be found. Mail Room received the sentencing letter for the Stewart Rhodes case.

      I recommend that you put a blog entry about the sentencing letter.

  2. I’ve already said my piece on this fascist rabble who would be more correctly called the The Oath Breakers considering the Oath of Allegiance taken in the USA..
    As for that stain on the Whitehouse it is a shame a person who has been given the title of President cannot be stripped on said title.

  3. I think that if those who are found guilty of seditious conspiracy serve prison time (and they certainly SHOULD!), then Trump, as the instigator and motivator, should serve a sentence equal to the sum total of all the others. One way or another, he must NOT be eligible to run for public office ever again!
