Loose ends remain on the third anniversary. Incredible that Stone remains unscathed despite his deep personal ties to the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys for years leading up to the insurrection. The Oath Keepers were providing personal security to Roger Stone, and Stewart Rhodes specifically was seen with Roger Stone in the lead-up to the Capitol insurrection on 6 January 2021.
The Washington Post reported in February 2021 that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was investigating any role Roger Stone might have had in influencing the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers in their participation in the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol.[134]
Oath Keepers was launched in 2009 at Lexington, Massachusetts, the location of the first American Revolutionary War battle. We’re reminded that Stewart Rhodes assembled one of the largest far-right anti-government militia groups in U.S. history, before his Oath Keepers stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Before that event, he made this promise:
“We know that if a day should come in this country when a full-blown dictatorship would come or tyranny, from the left or from the right, we know that it can only happen if those men, our brothers in arms, go along and comply with unconstitutional, unlawful orders,” Rhodes said in his Lexington speech, which didn’t garner any news coverage.
The group’s stated goal was to get past and present members of the military, first responders and police officers to honor the promise they made to defend the Constitution against enemies. The Oath Keepers issued a list of orders that its members wouldn’t obey, such as disarming citizens, carrying out warrantless searches and detaining Americans as enemy combatants in violation of their right to jury trials.

U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves on 3rd Anniversary of January 6th Attack
“It’s been three years since a violent mob attacked our Capitol,” said Matthew Graves, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, as he began a presentation on the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He spoke on the progress of the investigations to hold the guilty accountable and requested “the public’s continued assistance in identifying individuals who committed crimes on January 6th … who have yet to be identified.” U.S. Attorney Graves discussed the events of January 6th and showed video evidence throughout his presentation that has been shared with courtrooms around the country but not seen by the public before now.

One desperate act available to him, the violence of January the sixth.
Since that day, more than 1,200 people have been charged with assault in the Capitol. Nearly 900 of them have been convicted or pled guilty. Collectively to date, they have been sentenced to more than 840 years in prison.
What’s Trump done?
Instead of calling them criminals, he’s called these insurrectionists patriots. They’re patriots. And he promised to pardon them if he returns to office. Trump said that there was a lot of love on January the sixth.
The rest of the nation, including law enforcement, saw a lot of hate and violence.
