Hey everyone!
Happy Monday to you!
And if it has not been happy so far, your luck is about to change, my friend!
I will let WAPO do the talking:

Four members of the far-right Oath Keepers group were convicted of seditious conspiracy Monday, joining founder Stewart Rhodes in being found guilty by a jury of plotting to keep President Donald Trump in power by force.
Joseph Hackett, 52, ; Roberto Minuta, 38; David Moerschel, 45 and Edward Vallejo, 64, were described by federal prosecutors as armed and dangerous traitors, and by their attorneys as hapless has-beens who stumbled into chaos.
Of all the law breakers that day who are actually charged with something (and there are almost a thousand of them) — only 14 are charged with seditious conspiracy. We all (here at Kos) know how hard that charge is to prove.
6 convictions so far is a great start. There are 5 others (Proud Boys) currently on trial for this charge (and other charges). So that makes 11. I am not sure (off the top of my head) who the other 3 are.
This is absolutely fantastic news! I am relieved. I really hope all these charges might be a deterrent for future wannabe election “overturners.”
I will add more details as they become available.
