Justice Department seeks to build large conspiracy case against Oath Keepers for Capitol riot

The Justice Department and FBI are gathering evidence to try to build a large conspiracy indictment against members of the Oath Keepers for their roles in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter, but the group’s sometimes fractious and fantasy-laden internal workings may complicate efforts to bring such a case.
So these actions (via Ken) make a little more sense.
Joshua James was arrested this week and is being charged in connection to the violent events of January 6th in Washington D.C.
Joshua James is an Iraq War veteran. He was wounded in a bomb blast in Iraq. And Joshua is being held by the FBI without bail.
Joshua is the breadwinner in his family. He receives retirement pay from the military. He has three young children including a 3-year-old.
The FBI lured him out of his home in Alabama by pretending to be a customer needing a pressure washing.
Then an Army armored vehicle with a turret on top, 2 FBI vans, 6 FBI vehicles, 3 local police and sheriff’s vehicles pulled up and ransacked their home.
I bolded the important stuff. FedGov is doing exactly what you should expect them to. The problem of course is that their sycophants, local LEOs, accompanied them, probably aided them, and watched while they violated his rights (he is being held without bail after having broken no laws).
What they should have done is demand to know why these agents were in their county to begin with, examined their case, and then threatened them with arrest if they didn’t leave the county.
Folks, this is all local. Know the people around you. Make sure that the people in important posts are ones that you approve.

The guy is obviously a bad hombre. He wore Oath Keepers Logo. He may have spoken to other members of the Oath Keepers by phone. He doesn’t take PTSD medication. He showed no remorse for the events of the day in question. That’s a good one!
Worst of all he owns firearms. So of course, he had to be charged “In connection to the events of January 6th 2021, and held with no bail. Clown world indeed.
At this point State and Local authorities should have their lawyers review for legal sufficiency every request for assistance with an arrest warrant form the FBI and probably a few other federal agencies as well.

Local police won’t support ICE to deport illegal aliens with deport orders from judges after breaking laws, but they’ll roll out the red carpet for FBI to roll in hot on Oath Keepers.

It is shameful and not right. The FBI is a shadow of what it once was, seems like all the cases in the past decades are like this or have 3/4 of the defendants were FBI agents or informants… Encouraging them to do bad things…

No longer should the FBI be given any deference. All deference to their role in law enforcement is gone after how they treated General Flynn, Roger Stone, and Papadopolous.
If they appear at your door and request an interview, all you should say is “I only speak to law enforcement with counsel, and on a camera I control. I have nothing to say to you.”

For those of you dreaming of a decent and law-abiding FBI, they’ve always been Stasi.
