I had to smile yesterday when the DOJ not only arrested and indicted the leader of the Oath Keepers and 10 other members, but on seditious conspiracy. Though the smile was not for that reason alone -- but also because it answered all the people crying out why-oh-why the Justice Department isn't investigating the insurrection. As I noted here a couple weeks ago, just because you don't know what the DOJ is doing doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. Indeed, no one knows what they are doing other than the DOJ itself. When people said it was unthinkable that the DOJ wasn't investigating anything, I would reply back, yes, it would be unthinkable...which is why there wasn't much reason to think it.
These arrests were huge. Not only for the specific arrests, but clearly -- since they had encrypted messages -- they’ve gotten lower-level Oath Keepers to flip (which has long been the assumption), because that’s how the DOJ works, going up the ladder. And with the potential sentences being up to 20 years in prison, which needless-to-say is exceedingly serious, hopefully now the DOJ will get this high-ranking Oath Keeper to flip, most-especially, but any of the the 10 other Oath Keepers, as well.
