As insurrectionists turn into snitches for federal prosecutors, circle tightens around conspirators

[Soph0571]

As the number of participants in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection turning state’s witnesses against their fellow rioters keeps adding up, so does the evidence against their cohorts—particularly the people who conspired to lead the siege of Congress. Along the way, the evidence also piles up demonstrating that, contrary to apologists like Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald, these people brought guns and other dangerous weapons to Washington and were preparing to use them.

Two insurrectionists cut plea deals with prosecutors this week: Mark Grods, a 54-year-old Oath Keeper from Alabama, and Graydon Young, 55, another Oath Keeper from Florida. Both men are believed to be providing evidence in the conspiracy case against the 15 other Oath Keepers charged in the riot, one that prosecutors have been gradually building and may eventually encompass the group’s founder and leader, Stewart Rhodes.

1. Can't wait until somebody turns in Boom Boom Brunette Boebert. Her goose is going

to be cooked, correctly, not like that tainted shit she served at her restaurant.

3. There's already video evidence of her "palling around with terrorists"...

21. I see what you did there.... nt

7. And she will squeal on Trump's close associates who put her up to it.

And they... they represent a real threat to Trump.

15. I still want to know who was sending anonymous text messages to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

Tuberville and Greene, I'm looking in your direction!

17. Hasn't she already got a criminal record for something or other?

Judges don't like repeat offenders when it comes to sentencing. If she was in cahoots with the thugs - and I bet she was - her goose is definitely cooked.

19. She does indeed as does her Mensa quality husband.

2. "In the end, self interest tends to win out"...

A quote I remember from an old episode of NCIS-LA concerning what a criminal type might do.

4. Two insurrectionists (oath keepers) cut plea deals / I want Roger Stone he is a cancer on America

[-misanthroptimist]

5. And they call themselves patriots?

A patriot would stand up for what he believes. I don't recall Nathan Hale cutting a deal with the British and turning in his comrades. He stood by what he believed, no matter the cost.

These weasels disgust me in every important way I can think of.

22. It's Meal Team 6 of the Gravy Seals!

Stealing these tags from other DU posts cause it bears repeating.

And mockery.

8. Hoping that tightening

Circle ends them all, like that noose they planned to end Mike Pence with.

[malthaussen]

9. Nice, but they're still all small fry.

One expects the saps on the pointy end of the stick to get the shaft. They bloody well filmed themselves in action trashing the Capitol and threatening to hang Federal legislators. The only question of real interest is if any of these people has the connections to bring down the criminals who planned and incited the insurrection.

12. would love to see them go after t---- and all the r senators who signed on

to the az lawsuit attempting to overturn the 2020 election.

11. Wish the insurrectionists would hurry up and rat out the "Tour Guides"

Would love to see reQublican congress people getting in trouble for their roles. They should lose their jobs.
I question how voters would treat them though.

14. Really good read on the crumbling of the cult thinking, now that they're sobering up

Grods, one of the nine Oath Keepers who provided security for former Donald Trump aide Roger Stone at the “Stop the Steal” rally preceding the insurrection, is reportedly testifying in secret against his cohorts in the group. He pleaded guilty to two charges, conspiracy and obstruction of Congress' certification of the Electoral College votes, at his hearing this week.

He may provide key evidence in the conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers, since he has admitted to stashing guns at a Washington hotel in preparation for the assault on the Capitol. Prosecutors have contended throughout their filings that Oath Keepers’ preparations included provisioning guns outside the city that could be delivered quickly to the Capitol.

Grods, who brought guns, combat gear and helmets, and radio equipment with him to D.C. for the siege, also admitted to taking part in paramilitary training efforts, and to recruiting people to join in the insurrection. Court records show he admitted to storming the Capitol with others, carrying a large stick while participating in the military-style "stack" formation used by the Oath Keepers to cut through the crowd.

Young, who entered his guilty plea last week, admitted that he was attempting to intimidate and coerce elected officials when he entered the Capitol with his fellow Oath Keepers. His plea suggested he would testify that his fellow conspirators believed they could obstruct Congress’ election certification by intimidating and coercing government personnel, which is why they forced open Capitol doors to allow the mob inside.

16. Holy shit!!! Things could have been way worse!

[lindysalsagal]

20. It's hard to believe no shots were fired from the crowd: Only the guards from inside fired.

Imagine if they had been shooting, and many more had died. Then, we'd have even more regrets, and our democracy would be that much more tarnished.

[Initech]

23. I'm absolutely amazed that more people weren't killed that day.

And there were plenty of ways it could have got way worse than it did. Thank god there were cooler heads in control than Trump's people. I just keep wondering what would have happened if they actually succeeded?

[lindysalsagal]

24. Sometimes I wonder if it was the lack of law enforcement that allowed the attackers

to penetrate the chambers and run out of options on their own, that prevented more injuries. It was a toddler's fantasy to think they'd actually be able to hold the reigns of power with a bunch of flags and a couple car bombs.

So, they entered the rooms and played out their fantasy and then it just died, because there was no real purpose, nothing to attain, no finish line to cross.

Maybe if there had been police successfully walling them in, more damage would have occurred.

18. Maybe one of them can tell us about the "tours" of the Capitol on 1/5.
