The Texas Commission on Law Enforcements gives career development credit for officers to attend trainings by a group that did a fundraising pitch for the Oath Keepers on January 5, 2021. Let that sink in. (Read here: https://irehr.org/2022/06/14/texas-commission-on-law-enforcement-whitewashes-militia-promoters/…)

The Liberty Roundtable website summarized that day’s podcast: “Stewart Rhodes warns Jan. 6th will be DISASTER for Trump if Insurrection Act is not invoked! – ‘He Has a Duty To’ Invoke Insurrection Act!… Election protests heading for DC!”[11]

The Insurrection Act refers to an amalgam of statutes passed by Congress between 1792 and 1871 authorizing the President to use the military to suppress insurrections and domestic disturbances under various pressing circumstances – none of which include overturning an election.[12]

On Sam Bushman’s January 5 podcast, Stewart Rhodes spewed a conspiracy theory of a Chinese takeover of the U.S. and noted that “my guys” have indicated that things were then “quiet” in D.C. However, Rhodes explained that it could all go “chaotic” if the mayor of D.C. attempted to “curtail” free speech or assembly rights or “if there’s a really bad outcome in the, uh, in the Congress and the people have just had it. So we’ll see what happens.”[13]

Stewart Rhodes continued,

“Tomorrow is the big day, when we find out what’s gonna happen…I have a bad feeling that the bad guys don’t care what they have to do, they’ll violate their own rules in the house, or McConnell, the traitor, will violate their own rules in the Senate, and do whatever they have to do to rubber stamp, uh, Biden. And so I think what’s gonna have to happen is President Trump has got to put his Lincoln hat on and invoke the Insurrection Act…That’s his only move. It’s all he has left. The Supreme Court is full of traitors…The system from top to bottom and all the branches have been taken over by enemies foreign and domestic. And that’s just the reality, so it’s way worse than what Lincoln faced with the Civil War. This is far, far worse…All the agencies and all the branches, the Chinese have spent money to buy these, these soulless politicians who only care about political power and, uh, and money. That’s where we’re at.”[14]

Bushman echoed back Rhodes’ conspiracy “theory,” responding, “They’ve put in spies, they’ve slept with powerful people, right on up to the top, and now we’re being forced to…deal with it.”
