Oath Keepers Founders Found Guilty of Seditious Conspiracy in Capitol Attack Trial

Stuart Rhodes and Kelly Meggs, founder and member of the Oath Keepers, have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Three other members were found guilty of obstruction and aiding and abetting, while four more are set to stand trial later this month. The trial revealed the involvement of an FBI informant within the Oath Keepers known as Greg McWhirter. The guilty verdicts mark a significant victory for the prosecution and highlight the rare use of the civil war era statute of seditious conspiracy.
