Members of the Oath Keepers, the paramilitary extremists who played a central role in storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, appeared to stash firearms at a Comfort Inn in Arlington, Va., prosecutors indicated in a late Monday court filing.
The Justice Department has long pointed to private messages shared by Oath Keepers leaders alluding to a so-called quick reaction force a cache of weaponry stowed outside of Washington that they could have called upon had the Jan. 6 violence escalated even further. But until now, prosecutors have presented minimal evidence about the specific location of this QRF or even whether it truly existed or was just tough talk.
Mondays filing, part of an effort to prevent the pretrial release of Oath Keeper Kenneth Harrelson, suggests prosecutors are increasingly confident that the group stashed some weaponry at a hotel in Ballston, a suburban Virginia neighborhood roughly 15 minutes from the Capitol building.
We get that QRF hotel address yet? Harrelson asked in a group signal chat on Jan. 5.

Lots of these vets remind me of that old TV show "F-Troop." They are more than a bit out of shape. My dad was retired military, and did PT every morning until his 50s. He said they didn't need doughboys after WW1.
