A very serious question.

Did anyone at the White House or in the Congress conspire with the Oath Keepers on January 6th?

The plot has thickened.

Eleven members of the Oath Keepers have been charged with seditious conspiracy. This is a very serious charge. If they communicated or conspired with a member of Congress or anyone in the White House, then they could also be charged with seditious conspiracy.

It does not look good that members of Congress, like McCarthy and Jordan, are refusing to cooperate with the investigation.

When the Committee gets the phone records and emails, they may uncover more of this story?

Perhaps some of the thugs that were just arrested will share that information with prosecutors.

go of things. If Republicans in Congress or working in the White House were involved, they should be scared shitless.

Will be collecting the Oath Keepers' phone records.

Even if Kevin and Gym and Scott sue to have their phone records withheld (not gonna work), the DOJ can work backwards.

This is going to get interesting. Hope those guys are nervous. On second thought, they are too stupid to know that they SHOULD be nervous.

I'm sure the Oath Keepers that have been arrested will be more than happy to give the names of those people they talked to before coming to Washington, DC.

You can almost hear the sphincters squeaking like chalk on a blackboard...

Based some of their charging on Oath Keepers encrypted Signal chat app....
seems it wasn't that well encrypted, or one of the fine oath keepers who made a deal and pled guilty may have given the investigators the encryption key.

Plenty of people will ASSERT that there was a link, having no evidence to point to. You'll have to way for the Attorney General and DOJ to decide. Just like you had to wait for today's indictments.

Criminal Justice takes longer than it does on TV.
