That's going to be a problem for Stewart Rhodes and the other co-conspirators.

An Alabama man named in the most high-profile charges yet filed over last year’s Capitol riot has decided to plead guilty, according to federal court records.

Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, was charged with seditious conspiracy along with 10 others said to be members of the far-right Oath Keepers. A grand jury indictment accused them of conspiring to carry out acts of violence in an effort to stop Congress from counting the electoral votes for president.

1. A guilty plea. Hopefully this will create some rush to plea. The earlier, the better, all around.

2. No leniency

Absolute maximum sentence.

4. Can This Be Used...

...by the prosecution against the others?
If they have evidence & one of the conspirators is admitting the evidence is accurate, that might sway jurors because the notion that there was no conspiracy gets burnt to a crisp.
But, I don't know if that's admissible in court.

6. Yes, he's going to be a witness against the others

5. Hopefully....

If they gave his some leniency, it was because he flipped on Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.

7. I guess there's no conspiracy

Without conspirators.
