Informant Likely to Testify as Defense Witness in Oath Keepers Sedition Trial

A man who served as No. 2 to Stewart Rhodes, the group’s leader, is said to have secretly reported to the F.B.I. in the months leading up to the Jan. 6 attack.

WASHINGTON — An F.B.I. informant who was embedded for months in the inner circle of Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia, is likely to testify as a defense witness at the seditious conspiracy trial of Mr. Rhodes in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The informant, Greg McWhirter, served as the Oath Keepers’ vice president but was secretly reporting to the F.B.I. about the group’s activities in the weeks and months leading up to the Capitol attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.

>But during an impromptu hearing on Tuesday morning, the lawyers said that Mr. McWhirter had been taken off a plane while traveling to Washington to testify after suffering a heart attack.

Because of his medical condition, the lawyers said, Mr. McWhirter was unable to appear on the witness stand on Tuesday. While the defense lawyers still want him to testify, it remained unclear when he might be able to do so<

40 years old!!! Arkancide for sure.

What part did Ray Epps play in the fiasco?? Has he been questioned by the FIB????? Did Epps give sworn testimony to the J6 Committee?

This was planned just like Covid was hybridized in a wuhan lab. It went exactly the way the dems wanted. They yelled insurrection to the entire world. This is bolder than Russia, Russia, Russia… they imprisoned people and drew the line.
They know Americans will not risk imprisonment.
Being honest, u am glad I didn’t attend, because I wanted to. It just didn’t work out.
Meanwhile the FBI is radicalized to lie, cheat and steal.

So we are to believe that the #2 guy, the VICE PRESIDENT, was not part of the planning?

The reality is that the entire ‘insurrection’ was orchestrated by the FBI. It also serves as a lesson: if you are involved in a militia group who is planning to go kinetic, it’s entirely possible that you are the ONLY one in the group who isn’t a fed.
