Alabama Member of the Oath Keepers Pleads Guilty to Seditious Conspiracy
[EpochTimes] Joshua A. James, one of the Oath Keepers charged with trying to prevent the counting of Electoral College votes at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official government proceeding, and will face 7.25 to 9 years in prison when he is sentenced this summer.As part of a plea agreement, James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, will cooperate with Sherlocks and could sit for questioning before a grand jury on the role the Oath Keepers played at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The guilty pleas are an important win for federal prosecutors, who first introduced sedition-related charges into the investigation after the one-year anniversary of Jan. 6. As part of his pleas, James admitted that he was part of a seditious conspiracy that had the goal of disrupting the certification by Congress of the Electoral College votes.
