If they decide to deal instead of twenty years in Federal prison, some higher ups might be getting a bit nervous. Hoo- friggin’-Ray!!! About time.

It be far too late for a "deal" methinks

Re: Oathkeepers trial - verdict being read now

They haven’t been sentenced yet. Can’t they deal for shorter time? I think Roger Stone and a few others are on the bubble.

#3: Civil War era.

I hope they throw the book at him, and everybody else. Drumpf threatening to pardon all Jan 6 paticipants is just another reason not to vote for any Republican, ever again.

"Drumpf threatening to pardon all Jan 6 paticipants"

King Donald again……..It's about time that immunity from criminal prosecution for Presidents was abolished.
That statement constitutes interference in the justice system, making the whole structure a mockery.

It is a good day.
My wife and I are very happy campers with this verdict.

Still not on fox news as of now...

Probably won’t be. They have no time left while investigating Hunter’s laptop.

This verdict is huge. Our system still works. And as much as I would like to see these people rot in prison forever, I think we now have a chance of convicting some higher up. I won’t hold my breath waiting for Trump to be convicted of sedition, but he was the one bringing this all together and is guilty as f***.

Re: Oathkeepers trial - verdict being read now

I never understood the argument "we weren't going to do anything unless Trump told us to." If he did or he didn't, it's a conspiracy.

Anyway, fat mouth Rhodes made clear that "if Trump doesn't do it, we will", disposing of the contingency of Trump giving the order.

Re: Oathkeepers trial - verdict being read now

It's interesting that this has set the precedents that Jan6 was seditious, and that there's enough evidence to convict, and that an organizer of such a conspiracy needn't be on site at the time, personally.

Remind me who Rhodes and Meggs conspired with, and to what objective? Whose idea was it anyway?

Re: Oathkeepers trial - verdict being read now

That they conspired with each other qualifies as a conspiracy.
