DOJ details evidence that Oath Keeper brought explosives to D.C. area

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/08/doj-oath-keeper-explosives-jan-6-00044845

Federal prosecutors indicated Friday they intend to present evidence that a member of the Oath Keepers likely carried grenades in an RV that he drove to the Washington, D.C., area ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

In court papers previewing evidence to be presented in the upcoming seditious conspiracy trial of Oath Keepers leaders, the Justice Department said it believes Jeremy Brown, a group member from Florida, likely traveled to Northern Virginia with grenades that were found by investigators in a subsequent search of his vehicle.

in peaceful protest of having the election stolen from the Big Orange Pig.

If you listened to the likes of Empty Greene that's what you'd hear anyway. These people lie so often and vociferously they believe their own bullshit.

Well, you really can't get much more serious than sedition, but intent to blow up Washington? Yeah.

These motherfuckers should never breathe free air again.

They are utterly soulless and think they have a right to kill anyone who isn’t part of their tribe. The US has become a very sick country.

My first thought is that it's an entrapment site, 'cause how stupid does one have to be NOT to put something like that on the dark web instead?

I hope the government knows about these assholes (if it isn't a government sting operation to begin with). They sound like some dangerous mofos if that's legit. 😳

looking for potential extremists currently under their radar. If it isn't I'm sure the
FBI is keeping close tabs on them.

5. More info about Jeremy Brown from "Task & Purpose" webzine*:

Jul 2022

"Brown served from 1992 to 2012 and retired as a master sergeant."

Brown "coordinated travel plans and rendezvous points"..."He referred to his RV as 'GROUND FORCE ONE' in the chat, offering to pick people up as there were 'plenty of Gun Ports left to fill.'"

"Brown said he wanted to be in D.C. by Jan. 4th in order to take that day and the next to 'set up, conduct route recons, CTR (Close Target Reconnaissance) and any link ups needed with DC elements,' according to a copy of the message in court records."
