Four months after he was found guilty of seditious conspiracy and two other charges related to the U.S. Capitol incursion on Jan. 6, 2021, Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III decried the verdicts as “pre-ordained” results from a “guaranteed-conviction zone.”

He also warned conservatives that Jan. 6 was “only the beginning of a political persecution campaign aimed at all of you.”
