After members of the Oath Keepers appeared on the frontlines of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the organizations inboxes were flooded with emails. Some came from prospective members looking to join the group. Others came from members who wanted out.
The would-be Oath Keepers and defectors had a common complaint: They had sent money to the far-right group and never heard from it again.
A cache of internal Oath Keepers emails was made public this week by the transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets. The leak, first reported by The Daily Dot, includes messages from a number of Oath Keepers chapters, as well as inboxes used for the paramilitary groups recruiting efforts. But some of those recruitment campaigns left prospective members feeling scammed.
One prospective member, Coy Castleberry, gave up on the organization before fully enrolling.
I still havent heard anything on my membership package, Castleberry wrote the Oath Keepers in March. Last I was told is it was being put together a month ago or close to a month ago. Let me Know when I can expect it. I wont contact my local chapter until I have my membership package. So please get that to me. If you dont want me as a member please refund my membership fee.

Money keeps these nutjobs dangerous, either they steal from each other or they get sued until defunct.

These are terrorists, and it's about time we start treating them like it.

As an uncountable number of fabulous and famous DUers have 'oft sagely opined about said Republicans, the little boy ones and the big boy ones, too:
