Oath Keepers Leader On Trial Says Group 'Should Have Brought Rifles' On Jan. 6 - The Beat - MSNBC

As Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes is on trial for seditious conspiracy, newly unveiled audio tape evidence reveals he said his “only regret” was that the group “should have brought rifles” on Jan. 6. Additional audio published by NBC indicates Rhodes appeared to be focused on providing legal cover for Oath Keepers, saying they would be “awaiting the President’s orders… because that gives you legal cover.”

The Guardian’s Hugo Lowell and NYU Law professor Melissa Murray join on the newly released evidence, including a photograph of Oath Keepers in tactical gear in front of the Capitol in 2020. Murray adding that this may aid the government’s conspiracy argument. “Here you have this photograph of these individuals in tactical gear on the brink of the Capitol months before… it looks like planning.” - Aired on 10/05/2022.

1. Who were you going to shoot, Cowpoke?

The Capi9tol Police? Yeah, that would have played well in Peoria. Congress? You most likely couldn't tell one from anouther unless they were really notable, and even then ypu'd have killed some MAGAts by friendly fire. None of that would play well, either, and you'd be up on treason charges for taking up arms against the USA. That still carries the DP by hanging, not a humane way to go.

Maybe when you get out of prison, Russia will have you. I hear they need a few extra men.

Bon voyage.
