Episode Details

The Department of Justice seeks to overturn seditious conspiracy convictions for Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders involved in the January 6th, 2021 Capitol attack. This move follows President Trumps commutations and pardons, but now prosecutors aim to erase the convictions entirely, including for Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. The leaders were convicted for plotting violent schemes to block the peaceful transfer of power after Trumps 2020 loss to Biden. Defense attorneys argue it avoids setting a bad precedent, while prosecutors claim its in the interest of justice. The D.C. Circuit now decides if these cases close for good.
