A federal jury in Washington, DC, has convicted the head of the Oath Keepers, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, and four other defendants of multiple federal felonies for their attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The two leaders of the Oath Keepers, Rhodes and Kelly Meggs, were convicted of a rarely used criminal charge – seditious conspiracy.

This video discusses why these guilty verdicts are so important as federal prosecutors prepare to try future seditious conspiracy cases against additional members of the Oath Keepers, members of the Proud Boys and others
