Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNanceSAY GOODBYE TO PRETRIAL RELEASE: Oath Keeper leader's estranged wife releases photographic evidence of his 'elaborate escape tunnels'

Link to tweet
___Tasha Adams, the estranged wife of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, is providing photographic evidence of the "elaborate escape tunnels" he allegedly constructed in their backyard.
On Wednesday, a federal magistrate judge cited Adams' testimony about the escape tunnels in an order denying Rhodes bond on seditious conspiracy and other charges related to the Capitol insurrection.
A short time later, Adams posted photos corroborating her testimony.
"Folks if you ever feel tempted to rent a backhoe and dig escape tunnels in the backyard of your rental house, keep in mind it may come back to haunt you if you later attempt to overthrow the US government," Adams wrote.

So, she ain't happy and will keep harassing his miserable ass.
But the tunnels are a great idea, much better than my plan to hide under the bed if the Deep State ever comes to get me.

(81 posts)According to WFFA Local News out of Dallas eyepatch guy has an estranged wife, Tasha Adams.
:
"Yeah, it's really stressful," Tasha Adams said in an interview with WFAA from her home in rural Montana, near the Canadian border. "I thought there was about a 0% chance the he would have any chance of getting out at all. It's just really stressful. Now, he has nothing to lose, you know."
Adams is legally separated from Stewart Rhodes and is the mother of his six children. She filed for divorce in 2018.
"I think it looks really bad for him," she said, of the seditious conspiracy charge. "I think he's got a tough case in front of him, and I think he might be in a lot of trouble."
The trouble, she said, she fears is from someone who was abusive, unbalanced and violent. Although, she admitted Rhodes hasn't made any recent threats against her.

"You know, he's not the only narcissist, sociopath out there. There's a whole lot of them. And most of the times the victims never get believed. And I am in this strange, strange little window here where other people can see what he's like," Adams said, when asked about her willingness to continue talking about Rhodes. "There's not anywhere I can truly hide. It's almost not an option."
Adams remains active on Twitter. She has had a GoFundMe page for nearly a year now, asking for help paying for her divorce which is not yet finalized.
"I made a very bad investment. I invested my entire life into putting my husband through school and law school. And now, I'm basically qualified to work at McDonalds at 50 years old. So, it's a little rough you know," Adams said.
"Yeah. He was a bad investment."
A bad investment, she plans to keep warning people about, whether he's in jail or not.
"His first purpose is not so much politics as it is pushing himself forward," she said. "He views himself as a very special person in history. He gets his chance on the stand to tell his side. He really does believe everyone will side with him and everyone will believe him."

Well, he's certainly not a very special person in HERstory!
He lives in a rental property. I wonder what the owner thinks of Rhodes's modifications to the property? He had to knock part of the foundation out to have access to his "ingenious" escape tunnel.
When I first saw the picture, I thought the genius tunneled into the septic tank. It would have been perfectly ironic.

I'm sure the owner will be happy to know the FBI has started a jacket on him now too. These bozos will all be in prison before this is over. They might be good with guns, but their brains aren't fully loaded.
