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.

The Oath Keepers made "substantial efforts" to set up a heavily armed strike force outside DC, ready to swoop in, a prosecutor said.
"There were substantial efforts to make that a reality — to have guns and weapons available, at the ready, for people like Jessica Watkins."

Jessica Watkins, one of the Oath Keepers, was at the Capitol to help maintain "law and order," her defense lawyer said.
"After Jan 6, she referred to the fact that they were there to help with law and order."
The judge was skeptical, saying the evidence contradicts this.

Jessica Watkins briefly addressed the judge, saying she's now "appalled" by the Oath Keepers.
"We're done with that lifestyle," she said of herself and her boyfriend. "I did it out of love for my country but it's time to let all that go."

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.
