Glenn Kirschner: The wise apolitical strategy that helped prosecutors take down the Oath Keepers.
to decide that five members of the Oath Keepers organization attempted to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election win by any means necessary, including violence., and one of his top lieutenants, Kelly Meggs, of seditious conspiracy and convicted all five defendants of obstructing official proceedings and other offenses. The result was a victory for the health of the republic.
Video footage introduced at this trial captured the Oath Keepers as they advanced on the Capitol, dressed as wannabe soldiers and moving in a military-style stack formation, each faux soldier with a hand on the shoulder of the person in front. The evidence at trial established that, once inside the Capitol, the stack split in half — with seven Oath Keepers heading one way toward the House chamber and the other seven heading toward the Senate chamber.
The defendants peddled themselves to the jurors as patriots, but the jury sent an unmistakable message: “You are not patriots. You’re traitors.”
