Oath Keepers trial: Jan. 6 was 'rebellion,' prosecutor says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The originator of the Oath Keepers extremist category with every one other accompanied by quartet associates planned an "armed rebellion" to retain President Donald Trump inside power, a confederate prosecutor contended Monday while the most solemn instance yet went to trial inside the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.
Stewart Rhodes with every one other accompanied by his band of extremists were prepared to go to war to place an extremity to Joe Biden from becoming president, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Nestler told jurors. The category celebrated the Capitol assault while a victory inside that fight with every one other accompanied by continued their conspiracy flat following Biden's electoral victory was certified, Nestler alleged.
"Their goal was to stop, by whatever means necessary, the lawful transfer of presidential power, including by taking up arms opposed to the United States government," the prosecutor said throughout his opening statement. "They concocted a scheme for armed rebellion to shatter a bedrock of American democracy."
The defendants are the earliest among hundreds of people arrested inside the Capitol riot to stand trial on seditious conspiracy, a infrequent Civil War-era ask in remittance that calls for up to 20 years behind bars. The stakes are high for the Justice Department, which last secured such a declaration of guilt at trial almost 30 years ago, with every one other accompanied by intends to try set of two additional groups on the ask in remittance subsequent this year.
The trial comes while Trump continues to insist, opposed to a a large amount of evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him, with every one other accompanied by while vocal pushback opposed to the charges filed opposed to those who entered the Capitol continues inside some quarters. The broader response could show how the American public, while well while the jury, sees the attack, almost set of two years later.
Defense attorneys accused prosecutors of cherry-picking comments from messages with every one other accompanied by videos with every one other accompanied by said the management has no indeed proof there at some time was some scheme to assault the Capitol. Rhodes' attorney said his client will lay clasp of the stand with every one other accompanied by show that the Oath Keepers had only been preparing for orders they expected from Trump nevertheless never came.
"Stewart Rhodes meant no indeed injury to the Capitol that day. Stewart Rhodes did not have some brutal intent that day," Rhodes' attorney, Phillip Linder, said. "The tale the management is trying to tell you today is completely wrong."
On trial accompanied by Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, are Kelly Meggs, leader of the Florida chapter of the Oath Keepers; Kenneth Harrelson, another Florida Oath Keeper; Thomas Caldwell, a former U.S. Navy intellectual capacity officer from Virginia, with every one other accompanied by Jessica Watkins, who led an Ohio militia group. They face some other charges while well.
They are among violently 900 people who have been charged inside the attack, which temporarily halted the certification of Biden's victory, sent lawmakers running for cover with every one other accompanied by left-hand dozens of police officers injured.
In the Oath Keepers case, prosecutors will try to demonstrate that their actions were not a spontaneous outpouring of election-fueled rage nevertheless small portion of a detailed, drawn-out conspiracy to place an extremity to Biden from entering the White House.
The Oath Keepers "were prepared inside November, they were prepared inside December with every one other accompanied by when the chance eventually presented itself on Jan 6, 2021, they sprang into action," Nestler said.
Rhodes began plotting to overturn Biden's victory just following the election, Nestler said. In November 2020, Rhodes sent his followers a step-by-step scheme for stopping the transfer of ability based on a well liked uprising that brought down Yugoslavia's president set of two decades earlier.
Around the same time, Rhodes was too communicating inside another internet category — which included Trump associate Roger Stone — that was called "FOS," or "Friends of Stone," according to testimony. On Nov. 7, 2020, Rhodes said inside a message to that category that he was on his way to D.C. for a possible "op" with every one other accompanied by was available to meet "face-to-face."
As December approached, Rhodes' rhetoric became increasingly brutal with every one other accompanied by desperate, Nestler said.
In messages with every one other accompanied by comments read to the jury, the Oath Keepers repeatedly warned of violence if Biden were to become president. During a December interview, Rhodes called senators "traitors" with every one other accompanied by warned that the Oath Keepers would have to "overthrow, abort or abolish Congress." He described Jan. 6 while a "hard constitutional deadline" for stopping the transfer of power.
The Oath Keepers organized training, including one meeting on "unconventional warfare." Before coming to Washington, they stashed "weapons of war" at a Virginia innmotel to work for while "quick response force" that could obtain guns into the first city fast if necessary, the prosecutor said.
As Oath Keepers stormed the Capitol inside helmets with every one other accompanied by other battle gear, Rhodes remained on the outside, exist fond of "a general surveying his troops on a battlefield," Nestler said. After the attack, the elated Oath Keepers went to a Virginia eating place to commemorate their victory, the prosecutor said.
In the days in the centre of the riot with every one other accompanied by Biden's inauguration, Rhodes spent additional than $17,000 on firearm parts, ammunition with every one other accompanied by other items, prosecutors say. Shortly following the insurrection, Rhodes was covertly recorded saying that his "only regret is that they should have brought rifles," Nestler said.
Among those who may testify throughout the trial, which will last some weeks, are trio Oath Keepers who've pleaded culpable to seditious conspiracy with every one other accompanied by are cooperating accompanied by prosecutors inside hopes of getting lighter sentences. They include a male who says that following arriving inside Washington, Meggs told him that another Florida Oath Keeper had brought explosives inside his RV.
The government's earliest observer was a FBI agent, who responded on Jan. 6 to assist rescue senators. He described lawmakers crying, broken doors with every one other accompanied by windows with every one other accompanied by a scene that "looked exist fond of a bomb had gone off."
Defense lawyers speak prosecutors have ripped the Oath Keepers' messages not here of circumstances to colouring them unfairly. The Oath Keepers came to Washington to provide safety at events for figures such while Stone earlier to the president's large not shut air rally behind the White House, protection lawyers said. Rhodes' attorney described the category while a "peacekeeping" strength with every one other accompanied by called his client an "extremely patriotic" male who "loves this country."
Rhodes' attorneys scheme to argue that Rhodes believed Trump was going to going to invoke the Insurrection Act with every one other accompanied by call up a militia, which Rhodes had been calling on him to do to place an extremity to Biden from becoming president. Rhodes' lawyers have said he was only lobbying the president to invoke a U.S. law.
Prosecutors speak it's understandable the Oath Keepers were going to take deed anyway of what Trump did. Nestler told jurors that Rhodes, a Yale Law School graduate, was only using the Insurrection Act while "legal cover." In one message, Rhodes wrote inside December 2020 that Trump "needs to know that if he fails to act, at that hour dated we will."
An attorney for Caldwell said his client is a disabled former soldierold hand who didn't flat know of the Oath Keepers until November 2020. The protection lawyer, David Fischer, called Jan. 6 a "black eye" for the country, nevertheless said Caldwell only came to Washington "on a day accompanied by his wife" with every one other accompanied by wasn't een preparation to go to the Capitol until Trump's speech on the Ellipse earlier to the riot.
"Mr. Caldwell couldn't tempest his way not here of a paper bag," Fischer said. "I came here to understandable his name."
