"SNIP......

“Six more people allegedly affiliated with the right-wing militia Oath Keepers were indicted on charges of planning the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, as prosecutors sketch out a portrait of a group preparing to disrupt the certification of President Biden’s election and developing a military-style plan to do so,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Nine people, including three previously charged, “were accused of attending or scheduling paramilitary trainings in advance of Jan. 6, coordinating their travel to Washington, preparing for the operation with military gear, and moving through the Capitol in military formation.”

1. RICO Their Asses

Lock them up for criminal violations and then go after them in civil court and take everything they have or ever will have. Like the SPLC did to the KKK in the 80s and 90s.

7. Here's some stuff from the WSJ article linked from yours

Probably a paywall, but must be under the limit so I’ll paste some. Hope the commentary isn’t too annoying.

It was Bennie not Bonnie

The new defendants, including Sandra Parker, 60 years old, and Bennie Parker, 70, of Ohio, were part of a tactical formation called a “stack,” the indictment said. A previous complaint described it as a maneuver used by the infantry in which members keep “their hands on the backs or vests of the person in front of them to remain together while entering a room or weaving through a crowd.” The group continued to use that formation inside the Capitol, according to photos included in the complaint.

MAGATs gone wild

Kelly Meggs, one of the new defendants, wrote in a Facebook message in late December to another individual, “Trump said It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! SirYesSir!!! Gentlemen we are heading to DC pack your shit!!”

But I’m a veteran didn’t work

At a detention hearing held on conference call earlier this month, Mr. Caldwell pleaded to be released because he was a disabled veteran. “Your honor, my life hangs in the balance,” Mr. Caldwell said. Magistrate Judge Amit P. Mehta replied, “I understand, but you need to understand your actions.”

Judge Mehta was concerned about text messages about weapons stashed across the potomac. His lawyer has his job cut out for him.

Mr. Caldwell said of the text messages, “These are taken out of context.” Mr. Caldwell’s attorney implored his client not to speak during the hearing, and he had no further comments.

8. The stupidest ones who were caught first are starting to roll.

I saw that Dominic Pezzola from the Proud Boys just pled guilty as well. Who doesn't think he cut a deal?
