Alabama Member of the Oath Keepers Pleads Guilty to Seditious Conspiracy
2022-03-03
[EpochTimes] Joshua A. James, one of the Oath Keepers charged with trying to prevent the counting of Electoral College votes at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official government proceeding, and will face 7.25 to 9 years in prison when he is sentenced this summer.

As part of a plea agreement, James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, will cooperate with Sherlocks and could sit for questioning before a grand jury on the role the Oath Keepers played at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The guilty pleas are an important win for federal prosecutors, who first introduced sedition-related charges into the investigation after the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6. As part of his pleas, James admitted that he was part of a seditious conspiracy that had the goal of disrupting the certification by Congress of the Electoral College votes.

#9  The basis for the 14th Amendment ploy needed this, and the abhorrent and criminal treatment of the J6 prisoners was the leverage to crack someone. The guy who just committed suicide took an off ramp to save his soul, and this guy broke. Tragic to see this Lubyanka style treatment in America, but it is the nature of our home-grown socialists to emulate their mentors. The Deep State and the Magic Kenyan's minions have turned much of our government into believing they rule, not serve, the public. The Augean Stables await a deep cleansing to end the stench of corruption on the Potomac it seems...

#8  I think the dems understand it will be dead after the house flips in November and they are in the expectation lowering phase now. The people who were rolled up will have to hope there will be pardons at some point, which may not be easy even for a Republican president who wins in a landslide.

#7  Actually I think the whole Jan. 6 thing is dead.

You will notice its conspicuous absence from Biden's speech.

#6  Promotions and a corner office. They don't walk the beat anymore, just train the next crop for 2024.

#5  Which is exactly why the Jan 6 people were held in solitary confinement without a hearing or bail - nevermind a speedy trial. Just needed for someone to 'crack'.

Whatever happened on the actual, organized, assault on the White House while Trump was President by BLM/Antifa?

#4  #3 is correct.
And U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta is part of the conspiracy to prosecute Trump. You're going to see his name a lot.

#3  This establishes that Jan 6 WAS sedition, which can now be used in trials against anyone else associated with it, up to and including Trump.

#2  Modern day Spanish Democratic Inquisition.

What ever happened to a speedy trial?

#1  keep him in solitary another year and he'll finger Trump as the mastermind of Judge Crater's disappearance..
