The Oath Keepers tried to set up "quick reaction forces" stationed outside DC on 1/6 who would have "guns and weapons at the ready," a prosecutor said.
Because of the sensitive nature of the investigation, the judge has now closed the hearing to the public.
(reporters from Reuters and WP covering Jessica Watkins trial)
Jessica Watkins has lost her bid to get released from custody.
The judge seemed alarmed by the alleged plot to have heavily armed forces outside DC on 1/6. We still know very little about that because of it was mostly discussed in a private room.

Whatever was said under seal about a quick reaction force on Jan. 6. it appears to have played a role in Judge Amit Mehta's decision to keep Jessica Watkins in jail. References "how she felt about that" plan. twitter.com/rachelweinerwp
