Jan. 6 Pardon For Oath Keeper Would Be ‘Frightening’: Judge

Jan. 6 Pardon For Oath Keeper Would Be ‘Frightening’: Judge
SHARE

A federal judge recently issued a stark warning about the potential consequences of pardoning a key figure in the Oath Keepers group, amidst indications that President-elect Donald Trump is contemplating pardons related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta referenced Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes III while sentencing another member of the extremist organization who had pleaded guilty to conspiring to disrupt the transfer of power in 2021.

During the sentencing of former North Carolina Oath Keeper chapter leader William Todd Wilson, Mehta expressed concerns about the idea of pardoning Stewart Rhodes, emphasizing the potential threat to democracy such a pardon could pose.

Judge Mehta’s previous sentencing of Rhodes to 18 years in prison highlighted the severity of the Oath Keeper leader’s actions and lack of remorse, particularly evident during Rhodes’ own testimony at his trial.

Rhodes’ comparison of himself to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Russian dissident known for his opposition to the Soviet regime, was met with skepticism by Judge Mehta, who had closely reviewed the evidence against Rhodes, including his involvement in planning to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s election.

Mehta’s assessment of Rhodes’ unyielding commitment to undermining the transfer of power underscored the seriousness of the situation, leading the judge to predict that Rhodes would continue to pose a threat to the government upon his release.

In contrast, Mehta acknowledged Wilson’s cooperation with prosecutors and early guilty plea to seditious conspiracy, leading to a more lenient sentence of probation and a fine. Wilson’s actions, while still serious, were viewed in a different light due to his cooperation and remorse.

The sentencing of Wilson and the ongoing legal proceedings serve as a reminder of the repercussions of participating in acts of sedition and the importance of upholding the rule of law in safeguarding democracy.
