The fates of three members and one associate of the Oath Keepers will soon be in the hands of a Washington, DC, jury
Prosecutors allege that defendants, led by Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, plotted to violently stop Joe Biden from being certified as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. “American Democracy is fragile,” Prosecutor Louis Manzo told the jury Wednesday, encouraging them to find the four defendants guilty. “It will not survive if people who are not satisfied with an election use force and violence to change the outcome.
” “This isn’t ‘Twitter fingers,’ this isn’t a pop song,” Manzo continued, chiding Moerschel’s defense attorney Scott Weinberg who compared the violent rhetoric to a Drake song in his opening statement. “These are men trucking guns across the country to oppose the government by force.” As Manzo spoke, two federal agents stood by him holding rifles that were stockpiled as part of the QRF. When the agents stood, the juror sitting closest to the agents physically recoiled.
