Jon Mosley, attorney for Oath Keeper, sounds like a drowning man on New Day.

Last edited Fri Jan 14, 2022, 09:05 AM - Edit history (1)

Brianna Keilar should have been a prosecutor. Our good luck she turned her talents to news reporting. She is dicing up the lawyer's lame attempt to frame the details that his client is accused of. Specifically, he says that the video will show that the oath keepers did not forcibly enter into the White House. And Brianna has the video and photo of them inside the Capitol, with each one of them I.D'd

He was also saying that they may have been preparing for a Civil War, but it was not one they were planning to start. Brianna pointed out that their training included ambushes.

I think this is another case of White Men using the "You made me do it!" defense.

it turned out the FBI was reading their encrypted messages. I'd hate to be that lawyer. Hope he got his money up front.

of these groups was cut-off by technical difficulties. This was on New Day. She was saying some very interesting things about how the organization began with a reasonable purpose, and how it took off in a completely different purpose. She was pointing fingers at her own husband or ex-husband.

hoping she had protection. She really put it out there but she looked a bit scared, or maybe it was just being on TV like that. I would be the same but surely she has been threatened from time to time to say that her husband was violent, very violent.

On the face of it, that would include Blacks that are former military. Am I right?

Is it truly racist, or is it just ultra-conservative with military cosplay? If they have any Black members in the Oath Keepers, I'd take it to mean they aren't racists. (But I really don't know.)

On the other hand they do look and sound sexist - to the max.

"Brianna pointed out that their training included ambushes. "

Were they also the ones who made the "Civil War" merch that included the date?

Is it a taser?

Not for sure but if anything it looks like it'd be painful if someone were stabbed bayonet-style. Must be a "custom" job.
