The Department of Justice is reportedly considering sedition charges against members of the Oath Keepers militia over the Capitol protest on January 6. They don’t have a case for sedition but that won’t stop them.
This is political persecution by a weaponized and soulless DoJ. Ironically, it is Nancy Pelosi who tried to arrange a military coup according to a Times report.
The department indicted several of the militia’s members last month but is now considering far more serious charges according to a report from the New York Times.
Oath Keepers Thomas E. Caldwell, Jessica M. Watkins, and Donovan Crowl, were indicted last month for “conspiring” to obstruct Congress’s ability to certify the election.
Even that is an exaggeration. Insofar as we know, the Oath Keepers were there as security, not as insurrectionists.
Merrick Garland, an autocrat hater of the right and BidenBama Toadie, probably makes the final decision about prosecution for sedition.
THE NYT WRITES:
“Justice Department officials have reviewed potential sedition charges against members of the Oath Keepers militia group who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, and they have been weighing whether to file them for weeks, according to law enforcement officials briefed on the deliberations,” the report begins.
“Law enforcement officials have given senior officials in the Justice Department’s National Security Division potential evidence that they gathered about the trio and an analysis of whether that evidence supported a sedition charge, but they stopped short of delivering a more formal prosecution memo or a draft of an indictment, one of the officials said,” the Times report continues.
It’s hard to believe they were trying to overthrow the government by providing security at a riot. Meanwhile, Antifa and BLM openly admit they are communists and anarchists who want to overthrow the government, but the DoJ hasn’t noticed that, nor has the media.
“The Justice Department has rarely brought charges of sedition, the crime of conspiring to overthrow the government, and has not successfully prosecuted such a case in more than 20 years,” the paper reports.
This appears to be payback. It was the Oath Keepers who pleaded with then-President Donald Trump to invoke the insurrection act to protect the Constitution. You can read their letter on this link.
RETRIBUTION FOR THE BIDEN RESISTANCE
The DoJ is over-prosecuting and prosecuting where there should be no charges while Antifa and BLM raise hell and stir up violence and commit crimes in some of our blue cities.
Julie Kelly, an editor of American Greatness calls it “retribution” for resisting Biden, “So, retaliation is underway.”
Prosecutors allege the Oath Keepers “prepared themselves for battle before heading to the Capitol by equipping themselves with communication devices and donning reinforced vests, helmets, and goggles.”
Seriously, they went as security and were told Antifa was planning to attend. Antifa is always violent.
Most of the evidence is from the Oath Keepers’ own messaging and braggadoccia.
The DoJ is after more Oath Keepers and more indictments are coming. They seek to destroy militias and the idea of militias. This is a crisis they can’t let go to waste.
I can’t answer for all Oath Keepers, but the LI group is comprised of police, military, and first responders who simply want to support the Constitution. They have repeatedly said they oppose violence. They don’t want to overturn the government, they want to preserve the Constitution.
THEY WILL MAKE THE CASE ANYWAY
Over the weekend, Michael R. Sherwin, the federal prosecutor who has been overseeing Capitol riot cases told 60 Minutes that they are open to sedition charges for some of the people involved.
“I personally believe the evidence is trending toward that and probably meets those elements,” Sherwin said, the Times quoted. “I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that.”
The defense sees it differently.
“I have seen no evidence to support a seditious conspiracy charge against my client, Donovan Crowl,” Carmen Hernandez, the defense lawyer for one of the Oath Keepers told the NY Times. “I was surprised that the former U.S. attorney would comment so publicly on the case.”
The Left, now in power, is at war with Americans, not only some rioters and trespassers. This is meant to put a chilling effect on any and all opposition to the administration’s hard-left agenda.
