Once I thought about it more I think I was more rational and assumed it was a non-January 6th case because as he’s part of the Oathkeepers I’m assuming he has knowledge that would help that’s nothing to do with politics orJanuary 6th but maybe something else to do with that organisation because the report says cooperation agreement and you instantly think it’s January 6th riot but it maybe not be. Again I’m just guessing. If it is to do with Jan 6th then it could be massive then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I hadn't thought of a bigger enquiry into the likes of the org's themselves but you are correct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 My guess is that it's useful for prosecutors to have someone connected to the Oath Keepers plead guilty, as it may make conspiracy charges easier to stick against targets they care about more. Also, as I understand it, he was carrying bear spray, as were lots of other rioters, so it might be helpful to get the idea that bear spray is a 'deadly or dangerous' weapon agreed on (I understand lots of the other rioters plan to challenge this point later). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I'd love it if there was a direct link from Oathkeepers to Don. Jr. I salivate at the prospect of him going to prison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted April 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2021 The correct verdict. Now hopefully the sentencing can reflect the crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard earlier that it's about 12 years for the main charge, not sure if the other two verdicts run concurrently or add to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
