I love the first section. It is astonishing that Rhodes bought $15,500 before the terror attack. It is chilling that he bought $17,500 of weapons of war Jan 10 - Jan14! He is allowed to operate a quasi-military in the US, but hasn't paid income tax in 14 years? Why has he been allowed to subvert society this long?

Elmer Rhodes really is a "model citizen", right - he's one who should be locked up for a very, very long time.

I'm interested to know . . . are all their activities paid for with crowd funding? Rhoades spent a helluva lot of money on brand, spanking new ordnance to take to the party. I'd be really interested to see his financials. I've had a strong suspicion all along that a lot of these wackadoodles have big money financing behind them. Many of the stories I've read seem to indicate that people being arrested are not rich. So where the hell did they get the money to travel to DC, pay for hotel rooms, etc.? Also, were any of those weapons brought into DC? Because they have pretty strict gun laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_District_of_Columbia

In any event, I hope these seditious traitors rot in jail. 🤬🤬🤬

Because the OathKeepers QRFs (three) were staged & ready to go via Ballston & Arlington VA areas that’s why I focused on the Virginia reciprocity CCW laws. Undoubtedly if the QRFs were in DC it would be cut & dry but again they had QFRs on standby in VA. Still it’s pretty frightening how many guns & ammo he purchased post Jan6th

The funding behind the turfy truck blockade(s?) is every bit as dirty.

Pretty bad that IRS didn't flag this guy sooner for not filing since 2007. Thanks GOP for starving that agency so crooks can get away with not paying their fair share.

It is kind of mind blowing but I think the Government tipped their hand and that’s why I highlighted the Government’s Jan 20th filing.

Oooofta!! Judge Amit P. Mehta is not amused. Correct me if I'm wrong but even receiving a warning of sanctions from a judge is a pretty dark stain on an attorney's record, isn't it? Not a good look either way.

I am gobsmacked. Guns money and corruption. May they rot in groundhog day purgatory forever.
