Federal prosecutors allege that Rhodes and other members of the Oath Keepers committed seditious conspiracy by plotting to “oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power,” which culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. That conspiracy, the indictment against Rhodes states, began shortly after the November 2020 presidential election. On Nov. 7, 2020, Rhodes allegedly sent a message to other Oath Keepers in which he said, “We must now do what the people of Serbia did when [President Slobodan] Milosevic stole their election - Refuse to accept it and march en-mass [sic] to the nation’s Capitol.” Later, Rhodes allegedly messaged other Oath Keepers that if Joe Biden assumed office, “it will be a bloody and desperate fight. We are going to have a fight. It can’t be avoided.” Throughout this period, the Justice Department alleges, members of the Oath Keepers communicated over encrypted channels and conducted training in techniques such as “unconventional warfare.” In the lead-up to Jan. 6, 2021, Rhodes allegedly purchased thousands of dollars' worth of firearms and other military-style equipment, such as night-vision goggles and ammunition, and the Oath Keepers discussed plans to have an armed “quick reaction force” available just outside Washington, D.C., prepared to bring “heavy weapons” to the city at a moment’s notice. On the day of the Capitol attack, Rhodes allegedly entered restricted Capitol grounds and was in communication with members of the Oath Keepers who formed military-style stack formations as they breached the Capitol building. There is no evidence that Rhodes entered the building himself. The Justice Department alleges that later that evening, Rhodes had dinner with members of the Oath Keepers “to celebrate their attack on the Capitol and discuss next steps.” In the days after, Rhodes allegedly purchased thousands of dollars of additional weapons and other military-style equipment and encouraged people to form militias to oppose the Biden administration. Rhodes has publicly denied any wrongdoing and defended members of the group who breached the Capitol building. “I don't think they did anything wrong. I don't think they committed any crimes,\" Rhodes said in July. “Do I think it was stupid? Yeah. Because it left our enemies a chance to demonize and persecute them. But I do not disavow them.” Rhodes was arrested on Jan. 13, 2022.", "jurisdiction": "Federal", "charges": "Seditious Conspiracy; Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding; Obstruction of an Official Proceeding and Aiding and Abetting; Conspiracy to Prevent an Officer from Discharging Any Duties; Tampering with Documents or Proceedings and Aiding and Abetting", "charges_link": "https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-oath-keepers-and-10-other-individuals-indicted-federal-court-seditious-conspiracy-and", "case_status": "convicted", "case_updates": "Rhodes pleaded Not Guilty to all charges.

In addition, court documents say, he said that the group would have both “rifles” and “man power.” Federal prosecutors claim that Vallejo was designated as part of an armed “quick reaction force” (QRF) stationed outside Washington but prepared to bring “heavy weapons” to the city. Two days before the riot, Vallejo messaged alleged co-conspirator Kelly Meggs saying that he was with the “cadre” in Tennessee and “requesting coordinates,” signing off, “For the Republic,” court documents indicate. He arrived in Virginia on Jan. 5, 2021, and was provided the address of the Comfort Inn in Ballston, where he and the rest of the QRF were given firearms and ammunition, according to court documents. On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Vallejo and others were reportedly waiting at the hotel for information from alleged co-conspirators on the ground. Court documents point to a podcast that Vallejo and another Arizona team member appeared on, where they talked about the possibility of “armed conflict” and “guerrilla war” and said, “there are people who are prepared, have the will, have the facilities to do more than taunt.” Later in the day, members of the Oath Keepers allegedly formed military-style stack formations as they breached the U.S. Capitol building. Prosecutors say Vallejo messaged the Signal chat more than once to assert his readiness to step in. Later that night, he was part of a group that included Rhodes that celebrated the attack at a restaurant and talked about how to continue fighting the presidential transition of power, according to court records. The next morning at 5:46 a.m., Vallejo allegedly told the Signal chat that he would “probe their defense line right now,” stating, “Departing for Recon now.” A few days later, an alleged co-conspirator from the Arizona QRF team reportedly wrote to Rhodes as they drove back to Arizona, “wanted to let you know that [Vallejo] and I are here. We are excited to learn next steps and would like to know what we should be doing right now.” Vallejo's attorney stated in federal court that he served in the U.S. Army in the 1970s and was stationed at Ft.

According to the FBI, Tarrio served as the national chair of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, and allegedly helped plan the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Tarrio is charged in an eight-count superseding indictment alongside five other members of Proud Boys leadership. Court documents reportedly show Jan. 6 as the culmination of months of planning by Tarrio and his associates, including the creation of a chapter of the Proud Boys called the “Ministry of Self Defense,” which allegedly existed to make plans for the insurrection. In November 2020, prosecutors say Tarrio posted to social media: “The media constantly accuses us of wanting to start a civil war. Careful what the f*** you ask for we don’t want to start one… but we will sure as f*** finish one.” In December 2020, Tarrio traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend a “Million MAGA” rally and prosecutors say he stole and burned a “Black Lives Matter” banner from a local church. Later in December 2020, Tarrio and other members of Proud Boys leadership allegedly founded the “Ministry of Self Defense” chapter, court documents show. The FBI says that Tarrio emphasized a top-down structure for the group and directed potential members to “fit in... or f*** off.” Prosecutors allege leadership of the “Ministry of Self Defense” group raised money for paramilitary supplies, planned for Proud Boys not to dress in their traditional yellow and black colors, and encouraged members to travel to D.C. for the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021. An encrypted chat for members of the “Ministry of Self Defense” is alleged to have included at least 65 members. According to the indictment, during this time another individual sent Tarrio plans to occupy several buildings around Washington, writing “the revolution is more important than anything,” to which Tarrio responded: “That’s what every waking moment consists of… I’m not playing games.” Court documents show Tarrio was arrested on a destruction of property charge related to the December flag-burning incident on Jan. 4, 2021. He was released and ordered to leave Washington on Jan. 5, 2021, but met with the founder of the Oath Keepers, as well as others, in an underground parking garage before leaving for Baltimore, Md. He was not physically present during the riot on Jan. 6, prosecutors say.

Court documents show that when the barriers broke apart, Russell held on to the barrier while grabbing an officer’s jacket, causing them both to fall. According to the FBI, Russell and his wife later stood near the Senate wing doors until police formed a line to clear the area. Prosecutors say Russell once again pushed against law enforcement, this time against their shields. Court documents show Russell told officers, “I’m not scared of you and I’m not weak” as well as, “there’s more of us than you guys, you’re gonna lose.” Investigators say Russell posted pictures of himself in D.C. on Facebook and that records from a search warrant to Google were consistent with Russell’s phone being within the restricted grounds of the Capitol.

One senior Trump campaign advisor referred to some fraud claims spread by Trump and his allies as “conspiracy s*** beamed down from the mothership,” according to an email described in the indictment.\n\nEven as the Trump campaign’s legal challenges to the election results were repeatedly struck down in court, prosecutors allege that Trump and his allies pursued a pressure campaign against state election officials, state legislators, and officials in the U.S. Department of Justice to falsely declare that election fraud had tainted the vote and Trump had actually won. Around that same time, Trump also allegedly pursued a scheme to submit alternate or “fake” electoral college electors as a pretext to have Vice President Pence block the certification of the electoral college vote in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021. When Pence refused to cooperate in the plan, Trump allegedly told him “you’re too honest.”\n\nThe criminal conspiracy as described in the indictment continued even after the riot began on Jan. 6, as Trump and his allies attempted to exploit the violence to put additional pressure on members of Congress to delay or block the electoral college certification.
