Here is a Stewart Rhodes update that sure shows him more
an FBI victim more than an FBI plant. Rhodes provides Patriot
answers to the Dem-Marxist political inquisition panel known as January 6
select committee trying AGAIN to frame the legitimately elected President Trump
for an insurrection among Trump Supporters. THE ACTUAL INSURRECTION was the
Election Coup of fraudulent votes on 11/2/20!
(A good mostly neutral
description of the Oath Keepers – the Left-Stream Media and
Dem-Marxists paint a picture of extremism. Since the Oath Keepers are all about
the U.S. Constitution, if your allegiance is to actively support the
Constitution – you might be an extremist.)

Today Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes appeared before
the partisan January 6 select committee organized by Democrat Speaker Nancy
Pelosi. Rhodes agreed to appear before the committee despite currently being
detained for alleged crimes related to the events of January 6, 2021.
Rhodes refused to answer almost every question offered by
the committee, except for general questions that described the nature of the
Oath Keepers.
The Oath Keepers founder choked back tears as he answered
questions about the Oath Keepers and their history, explaining that the Oath
Keepers protected minority communities in Ferguson, Missouri for two weeks
during the 2014 riots in Ferguson, Missouri, recalling the Oath Keepers
protecting “minority business owners” from looting.
He added that seeing illegal actions by police and National
Guard in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was “part of the reason” why
Rhodes founded the Oath Keepers, “to educate military vets on how rules of war
overseas apply also domestically.”
Rhodes specifically noted that the Oath Keepers regularly
“call out” police officers and soldiers who use “excessive force.”
“We protest against that, I take this seriously. We have the
duty to speak out against any level of government,” said Rhodes. He then used
George Floyd’s death as an example, and said that convicted former police
officer Derek Chauvin’s actions were an example of excessive force.
Rhodes specifically took the 5th when asked to describe his
responsibilities as the leader of the Oath Keepers. However, Rhodes told the
committee that there are no current dues paying Oath Keepers members because
the organization lost its payment processor.
Thus, Rhodes has no way of knowing how many active Oath
Keepers remain over a year after the January 6 protests.
January 6 lawyer Jon Moseley, who represents Rhodes in civil
matters related to that day, told National File that this unorthodox appearance
was to avoid a conflict with the partisan committee.
“There is a legal difference between not appearing at all,
in disregard to the subpoena, as opposed to appearing and not being able to
answer specific questions,” said Moseley.
Moseley explained that the ongoing criminal trial – Rhodes
is accused of something called “seditious conspiracy” – would normally preclude
his client from speaking before the committee.
“He’s going to appear to avoid the fight about supposedly
disregarding the subpoena,” Moseley told National File. “But, his new criminal
defense attorney, Phil Linder, will not allow him to testify with charges
pending.”
As noted, Rhodes did not answer questions that could impact
his ongoing criminal trial.
At one point, the committee asked Rhodes to give an example
of an “unlawful order” given by 45th President Donald Trump.
Misunderstanding the question, Rhodes gave a series of
examples of the previous Republican president, George W. Bush, giving orders
that he considered unlawful.
When forced to take a stand against one of President Trump’s
orders, Rhodes said that the 45th President’s suggestion to “take the guns
first” when asked about red flag gun laws was dangerous and irresponsible.
Moseley told National File that the committee’s decision to
interview Rhodes while knowing he would be unable to answer many of their
questions reeked of a public relations move.
“I don’t know why they’re in a hurry to have Stewart Rhodes’
deposition when he can’t testify to anything,” said Moseley.
“It seems like they’re doing this to generate a press
release.”
Rhodes was only charged after he told Moseley that he would
testify for Kelly Meggs, a fellow Oath Keeper whose criminal trial is being
handled by Moseley.
In fact, Moseley was on the phone with Rhodes, discussing
the Oath Keepers founder’s legal issues, when the FBI raided the address.
“The committee wants President Trump’s head on a platter,”
Moseley told National File. “And for some reason they think Stewart Rhodes will
get them there.”
At press time, Rhodes’ appearance is still underway after
three hours.
Stewart Rhodes is currently raising money for his
legal defense via the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo.
In the fundraiser’s description, attorney Phillip Linder
noted that – under Rhodes’ leadership – the Oath Keepers provided security on
January 6, and regularly work with the National Guard and law enforcement:
Oath Keepers is a national
organization made up primarily of first responders that volunteer their time to
provide security at national events and declared disasters. They provided
security during the Hurricane Harvey cleanup as well as over a dozen other
declared disasters. In those situations they worked alongside the National
Guard and local law enforcement agencies for each of those disasters.
In addition, they have provided
security to political speakers who face real threats of violence for speaking
at political events and college campuses. They were actually providing security
in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 for multiple individuals and groups
scheduled to speak that day on stages around the area of the Capitol.
Rhodes is currently being held at a federal facility in
Oklahoma, and attended the January 6 committee hearing via a remote video
conference. He was arrested in Texas over one year after January 6, 2021.
