Oaf Creepers boss told followers before Capitol riot that Trump 'wants us to make it WILD

court document says

The self-described leader of the Florida chapter of the far-right Oaath Keepers extremist group urged followers to travel to Washington with him on Jan. 6 because "Trump said It's gonna be wild!!!!!!" that day, court documents released Friday revealed.

"He wants us to make it WILD that's what he's saying," Oath Keepers chief Kelly Meggs wrote in a Facebook message.

That message is detailed in a new superseding indictment charging him and five other Oath Keepers associates with crimes related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by thousands of Trump supporters.

"He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! Sir Yes Sir!!!," Meggs wrote, according to the indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, which accuses the defendants of invading the Capitol complex.

Six more Oaf Creepers charged over Capitol riot

Federal prosecutors announced charges on Friday against six people affiliated with the right-wing paramilitary group Oath Keepers for their roles in the Capitol riot last month.

All six were arrested this week in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. They are facing various charges, including conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, which carries a maximum of 20 years in prison.

According to the U.S. Attorney's office in D.C., all six are being charged as codefendants along with three other people affiliated with the Oath Keepers who had been charged last month.

Graydon Young, 54; Kelly Meggs, 52; and Connie Meggs, 59, were arrested in Florida this week. Laura Steele, 52, was arrested in Greensboro, N.C., on Wednesday. And Sandra Ruth Parker, 62, and Bennie Alvin Parker, 70, were both arrested in Morrow, Ohio, on Thursday

Everyone knows this. Some deny that they know. Trump betrayed his rabid followers, and they know it. Trump is finished.

Isn't it strange how all those Trump supporters heard and read Trump's speeches and tweets and they all got one message? But the Senate Republicans heard it and read it, and 43 of them couldn't quite make it out. Certainly not as loudly and clearly as Trump's slavering nitwits.
