A Washington D.C. jury acquitted three of the five Oath Keeper defendants originally charged with sedition conspiracy, instead convicting all five of the defendants with obstruction of a congressional proceeding after it was concluded that the events of January 6 were unplanned. The jury believed there was sufficient evidence to convict the Oath Keepers for tampering with official documents and obstructing police work. The jury did not, however, see enough government evidence to condemn the defendants of inciting war.
From National Review:
Of course, that’s not the story you’ll hear. The Justice Department’s press release does not mention the word acquittal. It reads as if prosecutors pitched a shutout. Echoing that storyline, the media-Democrat complex would have you believe that prosecutors won sweeping seditious-conspiracy convictions against militants who plotted to keep Donald Trump in power. You’d never know that the DOJ mostly lost on the main charge, that the verdicts overall were a mixed bag, and that Donald Trump — whose name doesn’t appear anywhere in the DOJ’s press release — was not even alleged to be criminally culpable.
