Stewart Rhodes, the disbarred attorney and founder of the far-right extremist group known as the Oath Keepers, believes the strategy prosecutors used to convict him on rarely used seditious conspiracy charges will be repeated by special counsel Jack Smith in a future trial of former president Donald Trump.
In a jailhouse interview with the Washington Times, Rhodes, who in May was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his group’s role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, predicted that prosecutors are “going to do the same thing to President Trump that they did to [him]” on charges relating to the same violent attack.
