Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes suggested that the U.S. government had sex tapes of members of Congress and that he could use the videos to get Congress to keep Trump in office despite the fact he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
Previous guy has operated like a criminal organization soon only left viable by its ability to manipulate the law to keep its principals out of prison. Complaints by liberals about senators voting unanimous for increased judicial security for SCOTUS, only show how seriously criminal the GOP operates, now that its fringes have appropriated its center. The line of corruption from Manafort, through the Ukrainian kleptocracy and into the First Trump Impeachment, only remind us how close oligarchy and crime syndicates roam.
The Trump Insurrection only verifies the extent to which trumpists were willing to ensure the continuation of the regime. In January, Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the Oath Keepers militia, was arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot,
“In all, [DOJ] has charged 11 alleged members of the Oath Keepers w/seditious conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 yrs in prison, at the judge's discretion.”
The transcript shows Rhodes alluding to the QAnon conspiracy theory, that the world is ruled by a Satanic cabal of cannibalistic child sex traffickers.
"So the only way to really stop them is for Trump to, first of all, refuse to concede. The second thing he's got to do is he has got to use his authority as commander-in-chief to do two critical things. One is to declassify all of the dirty secrets and do a massive data dump," Rhodes said on the "Oath Keepers National Call."
"And to do that, it can't be the normal channels with the CIA, FBI, et cetera. (Indiscernible). So what he needs to do is have the military do is to seize those buildings, seize all those records, seize all the databases, and turn them over to military intelligence. Let them take care of the declassification with all of those orders," he explained. "He should use his, you know, U.S. Special Forces, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, you know, use [United States Special Operations Command], as backed up by his Marine Raiders and, you know, whatever else he's got, 82nd Airborne."

Sicilian magistrates investigating the murder of the country's top Mafia prosecutor announced today that they had issued arrest warrants for 18 suspects. The magistrates presented a detailed picture of the way the killers staked out a hill overlooking a highway for days before they exploded a bomb as the prosecutor, his wife and three bodyguards drove along the road below. The May 1992 killing of the prosecuting judge, Giovanni Falcone, outraged Italians. When Mr. Falcone's friend and colleague, Judge Paolo Borsellino, was murdered in another bombing two months later, the Government began the biggest crackdown against the Mafia in years, leading to the arrest of Salvatore Riina, the "boss of all bosses," in January.
(2019) The white Fiat Croma buried in the dirt was carrying Cosa Nostra’s number one enemy, the anti-mafia magistrate Giovanni Falcone. Mafia bosses had placed 300kg of explosives under the motorway between the airport and Palermo. As the convoy of cars surrounding the Fiat got closer, the bomb was detonated, killing Falcone, his wife and three members of his police escort.
Less than two months later, the same fate struck Falcone’s colleague Paolo Borsellino, killed in a car bomb attack with five members of his escort outside his mother’s apartment building in Palermo.
Following the killings, the bosses from Corleone ordered champagne to toast the judges’ murders. Five days later, the government dispatched 5,000 military personnel to contain what by that point had become an all-out war against the Italian state. I was 10 at the time, and for the next four years I played football in streets surrounded by soldiers carrying machine guns. It was a show of force unknown to Italy since the end of the second world war. “Palermo like Beirut” was the headline splashed across the front pages of Italy’s leading newspaper. Sicily was on its knees, and I felt as though it was the beginning of a catastrophe. On the contrary, the bloody summer of 1992 marked the beginning of the end of the world’s most powerful criminal organisation.

The effective demise of the Cosa Nostra empire was declared last week by one of the most prominent figures in the Italian judiciary, the former chief prosecutor of Rome, Giuseppe Pignatone.
