WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Prosecutors urged a jury to convict Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and four others for their roles in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, saying some came clad in paramilitary gear as part of an alleged plot to forcefully disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

"They concocted a plan for an armed rebellion to shatter a bedrock of American democracy," prosecutor Jeff Nestler said on Monday in an opening statement at their trial in federal court in Washington.

Prosecutors have said the defendants trained and planned for Jan. 6 and stockpiled weapons at a northern Virginia hotel outside the capital for a so-called "quick reaction force" that would be ready if called upon to transport arms into Washington.

As lawmakers met on Jan. 6 to certify Biden's election victory, some Oath Keepers charged into the Capitol building, clad in paramilitary gear.

Conspiracy to commit...what? Prance around inside 'The People's House"?
Trespassing, a few destruction of public property and simple assault laws seem to be the only crimes committed. There was no insurrection.

Prosecutors lie all the time. That is a fact.

That’s the charge, isn’t it?
