Overreaching so they’ll have an excuse when they lose.

[Huskrrrr]

Stolen election and corrupt DOJ. Democracy is on life support.

[linMcHlp]

“the gravity of the charges”

Formerly, an apparently lesser degree: “the seriousness of the charges”

[ifinnegan]

Crazier.

[kabar]

Anything can happen in a DC court with a DC jury.

I think we need the UN to investigate Obammie’s FBI. They are a rogue army for the DNC and it disgusts me to no end. All my life I always thought no matter how f*cked up things in America got, the FBI would get us back on track. Not anymore. The America-hating Snowflakes are the FBI now.

[Macoozie]

These rat bastard prog Dems will be the ones to hang.

MAGA coming back with a vengeance.

[plain talk]

Given the current state of the judicial system they probably think they have a shot here.

Not sure there is that much downside here for them. Those that know anything about it are likely already partisans on one side or the other. The ones in the middle will just see something in the MSM about sedition charges and may never see that they were acquitted later.

It also details how Rhodes spent thousands of dollars on weapons before and after the riot and coordinated with a “quick reaction force” in Virginia that was awaiting word on whether to bring weapons into Washington, D.C.

$1,000 of dollars? (not 100's of thousands) A single good rifle today is often more than $1,000 dollars. This is pure BS and more #ComDem_Lies!

” and used a military “stack” formation to enter the Capitol”

LOL, again with the dreaded “stack formation”. They followed one after another! Do you know what that means? Well?? DO YOU? They were in a row!

A classic sign of an insurgency. This is pure VC, pure Al Qeida, pure Sandinista. Look out for stacks!

[DoughtyOne]

Democracy is not present in the United States.

We are a Constitutional Republic.

[DoughtyOne]

Good luck proving that one.

It’s like the 01/06/21 investigation and prosecutions.

Not a person has been charged with insurrection, let alone
been found guilty.

Sedition will die the same slow death.

One does wonder what they call ‘autonomous zones’, something
the Oath Keepers have never attempted.

Aren’t those an insurrection?

[TheDon]

Lose? They won’t lose. They cannot afford to lose.

This is the end game and they are all in. 2022 is when they close the deal on the 2020 coup.

We are watching their plan unfold.

[TigersEye]

The questions I have are, did they find a “quick reaction force?” Did they locate anyone at all with weapons? Do they have any evidence at all of this “coordination” with this alleged “quick reaction force?”

Until they prove it I’ll think that is all just a FIB fantasy.

[jdsteel]

The charge of “insurrection” is tilting at windmills. No hope for success.

[hanamizu]

“Prosecutors say that Rhodes and his alleged co-conspirators spoke often in the weeks between the 2020 election and Jan. 6 about fighting to prevent Biden from taking office.”

I’m curious. Was there any investigation into the people who spoke often in the weeks between the 2016 election and the electoral college vote about fighting to prevent Trump from taking office? I ask because there were challenges to the elections that Trump won by narrow margins as well as televised pleas for electors to change their votes. How about the riots on Trump’s inauguration day?
