He was aware of that. Threw a ...

Oath Keepers Leader Stewart Rhodes Says He’s a Political Prisoner. Republicans Are Listening.

Tasha Adams won her divorce from Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes last month. Three days later, she turned her attention to the Washington, D.C., courtroom where he was set to be sentenced for seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors had asked the judge to give him 25 years in prison for his role in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6; his attorneys had requested time served.
