Two more Oath Keepers added to larger conspiracy; suspects provided security for Roger Stone
Source: USA Today
Two members of the Oath Keepers who had provided security for former President Donald Trump's longtime ally Roger Stone were added to a larger federal conspiracy case Thursday now involving a dozen associates of the paramilitary group allegedly linked to the deadly assault on the Capitol.
Joshua James and Robert Minuta, who were previously charged in the Capitol breach, are accused of riding in golf carts to the aid of their Oath Keeper colleagues, "swerving around law enforcement vehicles" to join the mob.
"Patriots are storming the Capitol building," Minuta said, according to court documents. "There's violence against patriots by the D.C. police so we're in route in a grand theft auto golf cart to the Capitol building right now. It's going down, guys; it's literally going down right now patriots storming the Capitol building..."

"At 3:15 p.m., Minuta and James, together with others unknown, forcibly entered the Capitol building," prosecutors said, adding that the pair followed the path traveled by other Oath Keepers minutes earlier.

These people should sit for years if not a decade.

I was just looking at a map in the surrounding area and there's a public course - East Potomac Golf Course (that apparently also offers carts), and it's right across the river from the Capitol area.
Vehicle theft should be part of the charges too IMHO.
