Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keeper Freak, Convicted of seditious conspiracy
Ouch. I guess trying to destroy Democracy has some consequences. He went from Yale to shooting himself in the face and losing an eye, to being a disbarred lawyer and is now facing the possibility of real jail time. Boo-Freaking-Hoo.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was convicted Tuesday of seditious conspiracy for a violent plot to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential win, handing the Justice Department a major victory in its massive prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
A Washington, D.C., jury found Rhodes guilty of sedition after three days of deliberations in the the nearly two-month-long trial that showcased the far-right extremist group’s efforts to keep Republican Donald Trump in the White House at all costs.
The rarely used, Civil War-era charge calls for up to 20 years behind bars.
