    The seditious conspiracy charges brought by the Justice Department on Thursday against the leader of the Oath Keepers and other members of the right-wing group signal the government is prepared to take on an ambitious fight to show that they joined the Jan. 6, 2021, attack as part of a coordinated effort to deny President Biden the White House.

    The indictment contains the first sedition charges that have been brought following the riot and mark a significant escalation in prosecutors’ efforts by drawing a connection between the physical acts of mayhem that day and the broader effort by former President Trump’s supporters to obstruct Biden from taking office.

    Leader of Oath Keepers and 10 Other Individuals Indicted in Federal Court for Seditious Conspiracy and Other Offenses Related to U.S. Capitol Breach

    _______________________________

    The Trumpists who claimed that 1/6 had nothing to do with overthrowing democracy because no one was charged with sedition will have to find something else.

    But you are so creative, you will find a way out.

    In the meantime, justice will send the pro-Trump far-right militias to jail.

    So ten people were going to overthrow the government and do it without F-16s and nukes?

    Finally and the strategy made sense. Knew it was a matter of time. My guess? We're not done still. The plea deals will probably be made to get Republicans into trouble too. They'll name drop key leaders who don't enjoy protections and get them into trouble too, until all the details become clear.

    It still didn't have anything to do with "overthrowing democracy".

    This is just confirmation that we have a politicized DoJ that is actively pursuing the criminalization of political disagreements. They responded to their political masters in the leftist media exactly as would a well-trained pet told to "sit" or "roll over". They were urged to find someone to charge with sedition, regardless of how flimsy the case is or whether it ultimately fails in court or not, and they did.

    Do you think so?

    Do you think the word 'sedition' refers to a type of Spanish cuisine?

    You're the victims....

    I congratulate you.

    I thought you would be too embarrassed to come on this thread.

    But no, you had to move the goal post.

    Trump encouraged an act of sedition, that'll make you love him even more.

    No ?

    Because after all, you like to make yourself believe that you are protecting the Constitution of this country.

    Here's a thought, don't go storming the US Capital just because your guy didn't win the election. All this junk, is due to Trump and those that follow. You have no one else to blame but yourselves. When one accepts their personal responsibility, it will help with one's sleep. :)

    They were there to overturn an election?

    Right ?

    Where you are is the most uncomfortable place possible.

    You're the creationist who is constantly presented with scientific evidence that proves evolution and you are constantly forced to invent a way out.

    I think the easiest thing for you to do is to say that the DOJ is corrupt.

    That will dig you deeper into your Trump worship and you won't have to think any further.

    Yes, I thought that was clear from my previous post. I think virtually none of the tens of thousands of protesters who gathered in DC had any sort of a plan or intention to "overthrow democracy" that day. They were certainly angry, many of them wanted to express that anger to their Congressional representatives, but that's more like petitioning the government for a redress of their grievances than a real attempt to "overthrow democracy". And the more leftists carry on with their absurd hyperbole around "January 6th" the more laughable the whole narrative becomes, and not just to me and my fellow conservatives. Independents are seeing through the ruse now too.

    The DOJ is corrupt.

    You're right, that's pretty easy to do. Why don't you give it a try?

    Is this the Democrats plan to get votes in the future? Just keep talking about January 6th? Forget the sorry-ass economy, gas prices, inflation, foreign relations, etc.. etc… etc… Let’s just keep talking about something that happened a year ago. This is their new Charlottesville. Absolutely pathetic.

    Sounds like a good counterpiont to Trump's Obsession with beating a dead horse about the Ancient Nov. 2020 Fantastical "Stolen Election" BS.

    When you prepare 10 identical indictments for 10 different people, it means your indictments aren't worth the paper they are written on. Its nothing but cannon fodder for those on the left that don't know any better. Just another leftist hoax trying to sway voters.

    In order for an indictment to be enforceable, you have to make every claim in the indictment or the indictment fails. Which is why every real indictment is exclusive to an individual. They wrote a single indictment and attached 10 names to it. Only the less fortunate mentally will fall for this idiocy.

    The good news is 90% of Americas won't buy into it as they have all seen this hoax before with claims of having evidence in hand only to be dashed on the rocks of reality once its time to put it in front of a judge.

    The Russia Russia Russia hoax
    The Kavanaugh hoax
    The Covington Catholic kids hoax
    The Rittenhouse white supremist hoax
    The Emoluments clause hoax
    The cop was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher hoax
    The Trump supporters climbed the roof of the Capital and raised a Trump flag hoax
    The Ukraine hoax
    The IRS is required to turn over Trumps tax returns to congress hoax
    The FISA warrants hoax
    The 578 riots that were all peaceful protest hoax
    The Trump said white supremist were fine people hoax
    The Melania was a paid escort hoax
    The All Trump loans are signed off by Russian Oligarchs hoax
    The Trumps computers are all linked to Russian banks hoax

    And the absolute funniest part of it all, are those who claim these indictments are real, don't even know enough to have read them to find out, this was claimed to have been planned by these individuals over a month before Trumps speech in DC which means there idiotic claims of how Trump got the crowed to attack the WH are now in the toilet. And they don't even know enough to know it.

    And what does this mean? The idiocy of the DOJ didn't just raise the stakes. They just got caught bluffing with a phony one size fits all indictment.

    You just can't make this stuff up. .

    So you admit it’s an idiotic move? Great.

    That was an easy win.

    We can agree on one thing. Joe Biden is absolutely a POS.

    Liberals keep digging the grave of the Democrat Party. The American people have no interest in January 6, 2020 any more. They are more concerned about how they can afford gas or if the local grocery store will have food on the shelves. All problems for the Democrats that they continue to ignore!

    We have a legal expert on the forum.

    And I assume that if these ten charming right-wing pro-Trump militiamen are going to rot in jail, it's because the judges who sentenced them were corrupt.

    Laughable.

    There's always a plot somewhere...
