Oaf Keepers are the worst of the worst. Of course, every one of Donald's cult members who swallowed the big lie are complicit even if they haven't acted out in a violent manner. Lock up the violent ones PRONTO!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has secured an indictment against three members of the far-right “Oath Keepers” militia, charging they conspired to storm the U.S. Capitol in a bid to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

The indictment alleges that Jessica Marie Watkins, 38, Donovan Ray Crowl, 50, and Thomas Caldwell, 65, conspired as far back as November to obstruct Congress - a charge that can carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

The trio were previously charged by criminal complaint, and all three were ordered detained after magistrate judges ruled they posed a danger to the community and should be held without bond.

The amended complaint against the three Oath Keepers, which was made public earlier this month, disclosed they had exchanged multiple messages before and during the riot at the Capitol to coordinate their efforts.

In one example, the FBI said Caldwell had received a message from an unknown person while he was inside the Capitol that read: “All members are in the tunnels under capital seal them in. Turn on gas.”
