Biden’s DOJ Escalating Prosecutions by Charging Some Capitol R****rs with ‘S*******s Conspiracy’
-January 17, 2022 | Paul Crespo—American defense news
ANALYSIS – For the first time in the year-long investigation into the violence on J****** 6, 2021, the Biden Justice Department (DOJ) has filed s******n charges against members of one group that attacked the Capitol. On Thursday the FBI arrested the founder and leader of the O**h K****rs, Stewart Rhodes, charging him and 10 others with s*******s conspiracy. This is a significant escalation in DOJ efforts to connect the acts of violence that day with the broader effort by former President Trump’s supporters to block the e*******l v**e certification. The latest s*******s conspiracy charges shows that the Biden DOJ is prepared to try to prove that these persons joined the Capitol attack as part of a coordinated effort to deny President Biden the White House. They are also an attempt to help combat a narrative from Republican lawmakers that the attack was primarily a protest that got out of hand and not an ‘i**********n.’
While some r****rs have been charged with felonies, until now all the hundreds charged in connection with the r**t were indicated as individuals and mostly for simple misdemeanor crimes such as demonstrating in the Capitol and disorderly conduct, or for being in a restricted building and disruptive activity. This reinforces the Republican narrative of the attack being primarily conducted by a disorganized mob. Charging Rhodes and his colleagues with s*******s conspiracy raises the legal and political stakes, even though these are only a tiny fraction of those who entered the Capitol.
The Hill notes: The criminal statute for s*******s conspiracy covers plots to o*******w or attack the government or use force to prevent the execution of U.S. laws. The Justice Department’s case against the leaders of the O**h K****rs alleges that they conspired “to oppose by force the execution of the laws governing the t***sfer of p**********l power.” Bruce Hoffman, a counterterrorism and homeland security expert with the Council on Foreign Relations said: When you’re talking about s*******s conspiracy, you’re talking about something that’s planned, premeditated and purposeful. It’s not that all of a sudden these people are angered and spontaneously or serendipitously descended on the Capitol. … It’s elevating this entire J*** 6 i**********n onto a different level where it becomes very difficult to deny it was an i**********n. It underscores how serious it was and puts it in the realm of terrorism. ---(EVEN MURDER OF AN UNARMED WOMAN AND NOBODY IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MURDER---WHERES THE WOMEN RIGHTS LEAGUE)
The Hill explains:
The indictment from the Justice Department details how a group of 19 members wore paramilitary gear and used a military “stack” formation to enter the Capitol. It also details how Rhodes spent thousands of dollars on weapons before and after the r**t and coordinated with a “quick reaction force” in Virginia that was awaiting word on whether to bring weapons into Washington, D.C.
However, charging people with s******n, and convicting them are very different.
S*******s conspiracy charges can be hard to prove and can be complicated by free speech challenges. This is why prosecutions have been rare in recent years, and federal prosecutors have a mixed record of success in the more recent cases.
Still, even if any of these 11 men are convicted, the fact that a very small group planned an attack on the Capitol, doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of the hundreds charged for being involved on J****** 6 did not. ADN

This is all they have. Trial will not take place before e******n. Democrats operate by guilt by accusation. They do not even care if they get convictions as long as they can muddy the waters.

Hell they watched a poorly trained, r****t, black, c*****l p****eman murder an unarmed woman and could care less. What's charging a few people with s******n to them?
They know that they don't have anything to charge Trump with. That's why they keep wanting more documents. Trying like hell to find anything at all
