🚨BREAKING: #OathKeepers founder & leader Stewart Rhodes ARRESTED and CHARGED with **seditious #conspiracy** for organizing a wide-ranging plot to storm the Capitol on #Jan6th.
FINALLY, the first insurrectionist has been charged with #sedition.💥
At least 4 #OathKeepers who were at the Capitol on 1/6 and are cooperating with the government have **sworn in court papers that the group intended to breach the Capitol with the goal of obstructing the final certification of the Electoral College vote**.
On #ElectionDay, Rhodes allegedly said that an “honest” count of the votes could only result in a victory for Trump and called on #OathKeepers members to “stock up on ammo” and prepare for a “full-on war in the streets.”
Within a week of Election Day, Rhodes told Alex Jones he had men stationed outside DC prepared to act at Trump’s command.
Rhodes urged #OathKeepers to support Trump, the “duly elected president,” adding: “You can call it an #insurrection or you can call it a war or fight.”💥
At a pro-Trump rally in DC on 12/12/20, Rhodes called on Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty troops in DC to quell protests after the murder of George Floyd, suggesting that a failure to do so would result in a “much more bloody war.”🤬
Just 2 days before the #insurrection, Rhodes posted on the #OathKeepers website calling on “all patriots” to “stand tall in support of President Trump’s fight to defeat the enemies foreign and domestic who are attempting a coup.”
Yet HE was the one plotting a seditious coup.🤬
On #January6th, Trump exhorted the crowd of #insurrectionists: "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore,"
When will DOJ charge Trump for his role in the seditious coup attempt?🧐

#Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes found GUILTY on 4 counts of wire #fraud + 1 count of #conspiracy, but not guilty on 3 counts. Jury deadlocked on 3 counts.
🚨Fmr #NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik turned over some documents to the @January6thCmte but withheld numerous others, including one titled “DRAFT LETTER FROM @POTUS TO SEIZE EVIDENCE IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY FOR THE 2020 ELECTIONS.”
Kerik’s lawyer provided the “privilege log” to the #Jan6thCommittee saying the file originated on 12/17, a day before Trump huddled in the WH w/advisers including Misha Flynn, where they *discussed seizing election equipment* in states whose results Trump was attempting to throw.
Another file provided by Kerik included emails btwn Kerik & others about paying for rooms at the Willard Hotel. Kerik wasn subpoenaed by the #Jan6thCommittee into the Willard Hotel “war room,” where Trump cronies plotted to prevent Congress from certifying @JoeBiden’s victory.🧐
🚨BREAKING: Jury finds Harvard chemist Charles Lieber GUILTY of making false statements about participating in a #China-govt program to attract foreign scientists, failing to declare income earned in China & failing to report a Chinese bank account.🧐
#China had money to spend—“that’s 1 of the things China uses to try to seduce people.”~Lieber
But money wasn’t the reason. By training young scientists in his technology, he hoped to burnish his credentials.
“This is embarrassing. Every scientist wants to win a #NobelPrize.”
A key issue was a joint venture that Lieber launched in 2011 w/#Wuhan University of Technology.
A 3-year contract with #China gave him $50,000/month, ~$150,000 in living expenses and >$1.5 million for a laboratory, called the WUT-Harvard Joint Nano Key Laboratory.🤨
The records Trump is trying to hide include: working papers from then-White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the press secretary and a WH lawyer who had **notes and memos about Trump's efforts to undermine the election**.💥
🔥In the Meadows documents alone, there are **3 handwritten notes about the events of January 6 and 2 pages listing briefings and telephone calls about the Electoral College certification**.
▶️Daily presidential diaries
▶️Drafts of his election-related speeches
▶️Records of his phone calls
▶️Handwritten notes and files of top aides politico.com/news/2021/10/3…
Per the National Archives, Trump is trying to block ~750 of 1,600 pages relevant to the #January6th investigation, including hundreds of pages from “multiple binders of [Kayleigh McEnany] made up almost entirely of talking points & statements related to the 2020 election.”🧐
The National Archives indicated that many files were drawn from key Trump aides including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, adviser Stephen Miller and deputy counsel Patrick Philbin.
If no one did anything wrong, WHY ARE THEY SO DESPERATE TO HIDE THEIR RECORDS?🤷🏼♀️
