Oath Keepers founder squeals to the FBI about Capitol riot — throwing a key member under the bus

Raw Story  

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes reportedly threw one of the group's leaders under the bus in an interview with the FBI. Rhodes told the FBI that he was "cut out" of planning on Jan. 6 and "did not have a specific plan for Oath Keepers to enter the Capitol," according to BuzzFeed News reporter Ken Bensinger. Rhodes also blamed Kelly Meggs — who's accused of being one of the Oath Keepers' "team leaders" during the Jan. 6 insurrection — for "making a bad decision like entering the Capitol." Although Rhodes' interview with the FBI took place in May, the details were first disclosed in a new court filing by Department of Justice lawyers in the case of Oath Keepers member Kenneth Harrelson.
