WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - A federal prosecutor on Friday urged a Washington jury to convict far-right Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and four of his associates for plotting to use force on Jan. 6, 2021, to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election.
"There were lawful ways to deal with the election. There were protests. There were lawsuits," Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Rakoczy said in her closing statement. "But for these defendants, they felt that they were above the law. They knew better. They were the ones that were going to save the day."
