Judge Dismisses Oath Keepers Cases | San Antonio News
Description
A federal judge reluctantly dropped criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers linked to January 6, calling it a betrayal of justice and accountability — despite personally disagreeing with the move. The Justice Department’s directive forced his hand, erasing convictions for those who helped disrupt the Capitol, including Stewart Rhodes, whose sentence was reduced to time served. The judge warned this decision undermines democratic norms and disrespects prosecutors and victims, echoing similar dismissals seen in Proud Boys cases — all while the executive branch retains ultimate control over prosecutions.
