The Oath Keepers face off with an angry crowd in front of U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn just before 3 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021.
- An FBI document being kept from the public under court seal undermines the government's seditious-conspiracy case and "proves that the prosecution is lying to the jury," Jonathon Moseley, the group's attorney, told The Epoch Times.
Judge Issues Public Warning
- Judge Mehta took the unusual step of suggesting the news media covering the trial post messages to Moseley on social media saying that he would be jailed if he released the document.
- The Oath Keepers responded by intervening and calming things down to prevent further violence.
'Trying to De-Escalate'
- Young wrote that he approached a police officer and told her the Oath Keepers' conflict was with Antifa, not law enforcement.
- "We had been told that Antifa was in the crowd inciting the riots and they were the ones damaging property," Young wrote. "We also knew someone had been shot and were trying to de-escalate."
- In June 2022, Young agreed to plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy in a deal with federal prosecutors.
Must Have Been Cameras
- Moseley disputed that he issued any threat about the FBI document in his correspondence with prosecutors Nestler and Kathryn Rakoczy.
- In previous situations, including FBI interview notes of Michael Greene, the operations leader for the Oath Keepers, the documents could be released if redactions were made to blot out the names of FBI agents and any unindicted persons.
