The high-profile prosecution of the Oath Keepers for alleged seditious conspiracy to prevent the transfer of presidential power in January 2021 is “all a lie” based on a government “setup” carried out by a weaponized criminal justice system, the group’s former general counsel says.

Kellye SoRelle, 43, who was arrested Sept. 1 and charged by federal prosecutors (pdf) with four crimes related to January 6 at the U.S. Capitol, made the remarks in a previously unpublished interview with The Epoch Times.
