Jan. 6th Was a Seditious Conspiracy

Bad news for Roger Stone: His Oath Keeper bodyguard just pled guilty to seditious conspiracy and is cooperating with prosecutors

Jan. 6th Was a Seditious Conspiracy

Good news for America. Bad news for Donald Trump and Roger Stone. Joshua James, the Oath Keeper who provided “security” to Roger Stone on January 6th, just pled guilty to seditious conspiracy and obstruction. He is cooperating with prosecutors.

Famed national security tweeter @emptywheel laid out yesterday’s proceedings in this Twitter thread.

In an update today, she concludes: “There’s a lot here for (jailed Oathkeepers leader) Stewart Rhodes and others to see, to entice them to follow James’ lead in pleading. But there’s a lot left unsaid to make others worry.”

Among the most prominent worriers will be Trump’s longtime friend, Supervillain impersonator Roger Stone:

But also, it seems, the judge in the case hasn’t ruled out Trump being caught up in this conspiracy.

Trump will also be worried about the latest court filings from the January 6th Committee in which the committee asserts its belief that Trump committed actual crimes.

As NBC News reported:

The brief… says there is evidence to support a belief that a review “may reveal that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in common law fraud in connection with their efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.”

“The facts we’ve gathered strongly suggest that Dr. Eastman’s emails may show that he helped Donald Trump advance a corrupt scheme to obstruct the counting of electoral college ballots and a conspiracy to impede the transfer of power,” the committee’s chair and vice chair, Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement Wednesday.

The legal brief signifies the most direct line the committee has tried to draw between Trump, his allies and potential criminal activity surrounding the 2020 election.

Just since yesterday, a seditious conspiracy has been proven. And the January 6th Committee is giving us the strongest signal yet that the crimes of Donald Trump may  finally be catching up to him.
