New: Stewart Rhodes typed a message to send to Donald Trump on Jan. 10 through Jason Alpers, who is testifying on behalf of the government.

"President Trump, you can save the Republic by doing your duty as Commander in Chief... You must use the insurrection act..."
"If you don't then Biden/Kamala will turn all that power on you, your family, and all of us. You and your family wil be imprisoned and killed...You and your children will die in prison."
"You must do as Lincoln did. He arrested congressmen, state legislators, and issued a warrant for SCOTUS Chief Justice Taney. Take command like Washington would... Go down in history as the savior of the Republic, not a man who surrendered it..."
“I am here for you and so are all my men. We will come help you if you need us. Military and police. And so will your millions of supporters.” -- Stewart Rhodes, in a written message to Donald Trump, after the Jan. 6 attack
Rhodes, in recording: “Fight’s coming, I’m not fucking living on my knees, no fucking way… We’re just the tip of the iceberg,. There’s millions of others that feel the same way about this shit that we do.”
Rhodes after Jan. 6: "We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang fuckin’ Pelosi from the lamppost."

Montana Siniff, the fiancé of Oath Keepers member Jessica Watkins, is now testifying.

They met in a comic book shop, playing Magic the Gathering, in 2015.

When he asked her out in the summer of 2016, she blurted out she was trans, he said. Then they started dating. Image
Siniff says it was painful for Watkins to be discharged from the military. She was hazed during one of her deployments to the point where she feared for her life. "She felt like she had to choose between her life or her honor as a condition of staying."
Siniff talked about running The Jolly Roger Bar and Grill in Woodstock, Ohio. It was struggling, he said. Now talking about the Ohio State Regular Militia.

Here's audio of Stewart Rhodes talking about hanging Nancy Pelosi in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack, and about how they should have brought rifles:
