Convicted Oathkeeper leader warns Trump: "You're going to be found guilty if you try to go to trial"

Salon  

Stewart Rhodes, leader of the far-right, anti-government militia group the Oathkeepers, shared a message of warning for twice-indicted former President Donald Trump. Rhodes, who was handed an 18-year prison sentence for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, alleged that the federal government was attempting to turn Trump's closest allies and advisors against him. "They're going to do the same thing to President Trump that they did to me," Rhodes told The Washington Times from the D.C. Department of Corrections Central Detention Facility. "So everyone's been demoralized and more likely to take a plea deal and agree to 'test-a-lie' against President Trump," Rhodes continued. "I didn't enter the Capitol, but I was still found guilty by a D.C. jury of obstructing an official proceeding even though I didn't even go inside.
