DOJ Moves Towards Parallel Conspiracy Prosecutions of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys

DOJ Moves Towards Parallel Conspiracy Prosecutions of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys | emptywheel
DOJ is now pursuing conspiracy prosecutions against both the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, both having the same object (to delay the vote certification) and both using some of the same overt steps.

Interesting to note the FBI arrested two additional Proud Boys yesterday - one in Seattle and other the leader of Honolulu on charges of conspiracy.
They also added new conspiracy charges for fundraising for 2 other Proud Boys

Seems like the rats are squealing on each other.

6. These seditionist traitors need to be locked up until they are 78 years old

And maybe not even released then.

8. The who harbor them should be treated the same

As George Bush said, "We will treat those who harbor and provide safe haven to the terrorists, the same as we treat the terrorists."

These people have been involved in violent extremism for years, yet they all probably have people looking the other way, continuing to house them, employ them, and provide other forms of support to them. The Proud Boys are a terrorist organization, their members need to quit or turn themselves in. People who know them need to contact the FBI.

And these Oathkeepers are even worse. That organization needs to be dissolved, have all of its assets seized, and all of its members arrested. There is no good or safe Oath Keeper, each one is a danger and a threat to the country.

9. Some rural county sheriffs in Oregon

proclaim themselves to be "Oath Keepers".

They proclaim that they WILL NOT ENFORCE state or federal gun laws.

Time to take them down.
