Information from and about Rhodes.../the leader of the Oath Keepers whop was just arrested for seditious conspiracy'

Rhodes then told Oath Keepers to meet him on the south side of the Capitol, where he eventually conferenced Meggs into a call with Simmons. Minutes later, Meggs, Watkins and other Oath Keepers reformed “Stack One” and entered the Capitol, “each member keeping at least one hand on the shoulder of the other in front of them.”
Investigators say “Stack One” moved toward the House of Representatives in search of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but did not find her.
At the same time, “Stack Two” – made up of James and Minuta, who had been working security for Roger Stone, and other Oath Keepers – made their way to the Capitol. At 3:15 p.m. they also entered the Capitol. Rather than heading toward the House, investigators say “Stack Two” moved toward the east doors of the Rotunda and the Senate Wing.
Neither group found their targets, according to investigators, and both eventually retreated back outside the building to regroup with Rhodes. Eventually, they left the Capitol, but continued discussing the need to stop the lawful transfer of power.
“We’ll be back to 6 a.m. to do it again,” Vallejo wrote. “We got food for 30 days. We have only [begun] to fight.”
Rhodes added: “Patriots entering their own Capitol to send a message to the traitors is NOTHING compared to what’s coming.”
Shortly before 6 a.m. on Jan. 7, Vallejo wrote that he was departing for “recon.”
“We are going to probe their defense line right now,” he said.
