Snip
Two more alleged Capitol rioters who arrived at the scene on Jan. 6 in full battle gear after swerving around law enforcement vehicles in a golf cart have been added to the Oath Keepers conspiracy case, according to a new indictment unsealed on Thursday....
The new indictment also reveals that, in the hours before the Capitol was breached, Minuta, James, and another unidentified individual, known in the indictment as Person Ten, had a series of phone calls with Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. Rhodes, who was in Washington, DC, on the day of the riot, did not enter the Capitol and has not been charged. (He recently said he expects he may go to jail soon for what he characterized as made-up crimes.)
According to the indictment, Minuta, James, and others dressed in battle gear climbed into a pair of golf carts and headed toward the Capitol building, swerving around law enforcement vehicles.
The indictment said that Minuta, who allegedly carried bear spray and wore ballistic goggles, declared, Patriots are storming the Capitol building. Theres violence against patriots by police so were en route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now.
