BREAKING: Four members of the Oath Keepers have been convicted of seditious conspiracy for their actions surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
A jury on Monday convicted four members of the extremist group the Oath Keepers of seditious conspiracy.Prosecutors said the four defendants — Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett, David Moerschel and Edward Vallejo — used a “perverted version of American history” to justify their actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
“Millions will die,” Minuta said in another clip from the same video. “So what. So what. ... I’m not afraid and I’m ready to f---ing go.” Lawyers for the defendants in the second trial said their clients had been overcharged and did not conspire to overthrow the government. Scott Weinberg, an attorney for Moerschel, took a similar tack. “This is not some highly organized group,” he said.
