For a long time, republicans liked to say "Wake me up when someone is charged with seditious conspiracy."
Four members of the Proud Boys, including their former leader Enrique Tarrio, were convicted on Thursday of seditious conspiracy for plotting to keep President Donald J. Trump in power after his election defeat by leading a violent mob in attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
They were also found guilty of conspiring to obstruct the certification of the election. The four defendants, along with Dominic Pezzola, were convicted of another conspiracy count as well, which accused them of interfering with the duties of members of Congress that day.
Nine Oath Keepers have already been found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
1) Stewart Rhodes
2) Kelly Meggs
3) Roberto Minuta
4) Ed Vallejo
5) Joseph Hackett
6) David Moerschel
7) William Todd Wilson (plea)
8) Joshua James (plea)
9) Brian Ulrich (plea)
Anyone care to defend these seditionists?
