U.S. files conspiracy charge against Oath Keeper leader in alleged plot against the Capitol

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...19d_story.html

Quote:
Thomas Edward Caldwell, 65, of Clarke County, Va., was taken into custody before 7 a.m. on four federal counts, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States in the attack on the Capitol. The conspiracy charge is reserved for offenses interfering with or obstructing the lawful operation of government.

A charging affidavit says he helped organize a group of eight to 10 individuals, including self-styled Ohio militia members apprehended Sunday, who wore helmets and military-style gear and were seen moving purposefully toward the top of the Capitol steps and leading the move against police lines.
Idiotic angry old white males. Firing squad for these traitors, hopefully.

The Road To The Capitol Insurrection Was Paved With MAGA Disinformation

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...-bus-tour-coup

In case the Insane clown hasn't convinced you, these people are batshit crazy. Hopefully, every single one of them will serve time in federal lockup.

How The NRA Helped Foment An Armed Insurrection At The Capitol
Insurrectionists had enough ammo to shoot everyone in Congress “five times” — and they were radicalized by decades of NRA fear-mongering, a new report finds.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nra-c...b63b0fb27f159e

Quote:
“We believe the NRA, like former President Trump, like some members of Congress, deserves blame for what led to Jan. 6,” Nick Suplina, the managing director of law and policy at Everytown, told HuffPost.

“You don’t get to Trump inciting an insurrection without an NRA laying the groundwork for all these years,” he said.

For decades, Everytown’s report argues, the NRA has shamelessly deployed over-the-top rhetoric and conspiracy theories about “mass civilian disarmament and looming authoritarianism” to get people to turn against even modest gun control measures, in turn helping radicalize a generation of American armed extremists.

The NRA, Everytown states, has “relentlessly” emphasized to its members that the Second Amendment gives them the right to overthrow a tyrannical government, while simultaneously labeling any politician advocating “for even the most modest” gun control measures “a tyrant-in-waiting.”

“It’s a recipe for the exact kind of disaster seen at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th: Americans fraudulently convinced the democratic process had been hijacked and left feeling that armed insurrection is a justifiable remedy,” the report states.

Everytown traces the NRA’s use of insurrectionist rhetoric back to at least to the early 1990s, when it leveraged the deadly law enforcement raids at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas, to paint the government as authoritarian.
Time to declare the NRA a terrorist organization.

‘Brazen, entitled, dangerous’: D.C. judge jails man photographed in Pelosi’s office

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...297_story.html

Quote:
Expressing not just concern but disgust, a federal judge in D.C. on Thursday ordered a man who was photographed with his feet up on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the Capitol insurrection to remain behind bars pending trial.

Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell repeatedly described Richard Barnett, 60, of Gravette, Ark., as “entitled,” “brazen” and “a braggart.” In her first public remarks related to events at the Capitol, she said Barnett “showed a total disregard for the law” and “total disregard for the U.S. Constitution.”
Typical Trumpkin moron.
