A prosecutor in the case said the government could seek a life sentence for members of the Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy
According to a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice, the individuals who have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the events of January 6 may face life in prison if they do not accept a plea deal from the government.
The letter was sent explicitly to members of the Oath Keepers, including group leader Stewart Rhodes. The U.S. Department of Justice charged eleven members of the group with various crimes, including seditious conspiracy, on Jan. 13.
In a letter obtained by American Greatness, the office of Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia handling every prosecution related to the events, outlined the potential penalties for those charged with what is considered to be one of the most serious crimes in the United States.
The letter, written by the chief prosecutor in the case, Kathyrn Rakoczy, says, “We write to advise you of applicable penalties that could apply upon conviction at trial.” The letter was sent after Graves had set a May 6 deadline for all defendants to respond to plea deals offered in their respective cases.
After outlining the penalties for related charges, the prosecutor outlined the intent of the U.S. government concerning the seditious conspiracy charges.
“The United States takes the position that the most analogous offense to seditious conspiracy is ‘Treason,’” Rakoczy wrote. She noted that should a jury conclude that the conspiracy involved conduct considered “tantamount to waging war against the United States,” Rakoczy said the government could seek a life sentence for the defendants.
Rakoczy further threatened the defendants with a terrorism enhancement for any guilty verdict, which could carry up to 22 years in prison if convicted.
Today, Monday, 2 Ospreys, a Marine helicopter and some escort helicopters visited NE Illinois. Hmmmm. Who dat be?
Here in North Central Ohio there has been a string of Ospreys plying the skies this past weekend . I was real busy and didn’t get to stare at the sky but I think there were four in formation . I was cutting with a hotrod chainsaw and had to pay attention both times . Even over the saw I heard them before I saw them . Damn they are loud and they were low .
Too bad you weren’t carrying a SAW instead of a saw, eh?
Ospreys over the Great Smokies within past 10 days too.
This illegal regime is using coercion and denial of a speedy trial to force guilty pleas. Intimidation and torture are theirs to give, there is no justice. They want you to know what happens to anybody disagreeing with the party line.
An “Insurrection” with:
No handguns
No rifles
No bombs
And the only two deaths were of civilians at the hands of two Uniformed Thugs of the Capitol police.
A rather peculiar “Insurrection.”
And “Treason”? Like Hillary Clinton did via Uranium ONE?. And Milley did when speaking with the CCP behind his President’s back?
Our country is DONE.
Indeed it is, Indeed it is.
And it won’t be returning in any of our lifetimes.
If ever.
It was a mostly, violent insurrection, unlike the mostly peaceful ANTIFA riots! What about, “petition the government for redress”! Why didn’t the fearless leader give them a pardon, as he invited them there?

That “seditious conspiracy” covers about everything including flatulating next to a FIB person. If done too loudly then of course you get the Finicum/Bobbitt treatment. Nothing new here in the USSA, comrades.
