But, At 3:30pm, Rhodes messaged the Leadership Signal Chat, “Anyone in DC who is not tasked with a security detail, come yo US Capitol on the Supreme Court side. Come to Capitol on the NE corner.”
It may have nothing to do with the SCOTUS rally, but it’s worth asking. Did Rhodes pull the OKs from the Capitol b/c he planned to take them to SCOTUS? If so, that could expose a link to higher level planners.
If not, then why did they just stop at 3:30?
Did they get orders?
Again, this doesn’t prove anything conclusively, and may be noting at all, but it’s surely worth considering.
Also, Kremer called off the SCOTUS rally at 2:18 (it was to start at 2:00).
This thread shows what was happening around that time for reference.
It’s worth noting that the plan at the Capitol was to send a crowd of angry people, then use operatives to direct their anger to overwhelm LE/security, and then have the paramilitary units form up and slip in under cover afterward, occupying the building.
If, theoretically, the same strategy was planned at SCOTUS, and the mob was supposed to arrive there at 2pm, then what time would paramilitary units like the Oath Keepers arrive?
Maybe 3:30, when Rhodes pulled his people out of the Capitol and ovet to that side of the property?
I don’t think we should rule it out.
For reference, 3:30 is around the time when parts of the mob were being subdued, and there was still heavy fighting going on as well (tunnel, north doors).
It’s possible Rhodes and his group were simply retreating.
I still think it’s worth asking. Also about the SCOTUS rally.
“The [Oath Keepers] superseding indictment has now effectively been split into three parts: the 11-defendant seditious conspiracy case, a seven-defendant original case, and a third case against one of the previously charged defendants.”
Tony Shaffer, the fellow who has been trolling and attacking researchers on Twitter, was the “lead investigator” for the Amistad project, which was apparently involved in creating forged state elector documents, as well as in filing “Kraken” lawsuits to overturn the election.
