    Default Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes sentenced to 18 years for Jan.

    A federal judge on Thursday sentenced Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes to 18 years in prison following his conviction on seditious conspiracy theories for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

    The sentencing represents the longest prison term yet assigned to a figure involved in the riot, coming after Rhodes was found guilty on numerous other charges last November, including other felony charges such as obstruction of an official proceeding.


    Seditious conspiracy carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence, but the Justice Department also sought a terrorism enhancement for Rhodes as well as other Oath Keepers defendants.

    “He exploited his vast public influence as the leader of the Oath Keepers and used his talents for manipulation to goad more than twenty other American citizens into using force, intimidation, and violence to seek to impose their preferred result on a U.S. presidential election,” the Justice Department wrote in a sentencing memo earlier this month.

    Relying on a trove of messages between the group's members discussing "civil war" in the event of Biden taking office, prosecutors argued that Rhodes and his co-conspirators were willing to take any action necessary, including using force, to stop the certification.


    Prosecutors also presented extensive evidence of the group's planning in advance of Jan. 6, showing how members stashed a massive cache of weapons at a hotel just outside city limits that the government argued would be transported into Washington in the event Trump invoked the Insurrection Act.

    He should've gotten that maximum 20-year prison sentence, for Seditious conspiracy?!! I wonder if it was a Trump appointed judge that sentence Rhodes?!!

    Rhodes is waiting for Trump or Desantis to win and give him a pardon. They would.

    An appropriate sentence for a domestic terrorist. Let's hope this is the first of many.

    Trump could have pardoned them after the attack. Instead, he threw them all under the bus to save his own ass.

    I doubt DeSantis would pardon a domestic terrorist. All it takes is for one of them to commit another act of terrorism to end his political career.

    Default Oath Keepers leader Rhodes sentenced to 18 years for Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy

    Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday in the first punishments to be handed down for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. U.S. prosecutors asked for up to 25 years in prison and the longest sentence by far in the rioting to deter future acts of domestic terrorism, arguing Rhodes played a significant role in spreading doubt about the 2020 presidential election and led more than 20 other Americans to seek to use violence against the government to thwart the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

    At a dramatic, nearly four-hour hearing, Judge Amit P. Mehta chided Mr. Rhodes for seeking for years through his leadership of the Oath Keepers to have American democracy “devolve into violence.”

    “You, sir,” Judge Mehta went on, directly addressing the defendant, “present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the Republic and the very fabric of our democracy.”

    Selling price was $1 million. I'm sure Rhodes couldn't afford it.

    Meatball and trump are running on a platform of pardoning the terrorists.
