You don’t get a plea like this without first giving the government a proffer of everything you know. In other words, he has already sung.

And the government felt that his song could be a hit on the 9th circuit billboard charts.

“Oath Keepers Lifetime Member”

Someone is going to lose his membership because he didn’t follow the Terms of Service covering dishing on co-conspirators.

From the photo caption:

Demonstrators breeched security and entered the Capitol as Congress debated the a 2020 presidential election Electoral Vote Certification.

That’s breached.

Look folks, if you can’t hire a goddam copy editor, at least get Grammarly or something.

They’re too busy kicking off the non-prime folks from the boards “to improve service”.

Reminder to prime folks-- write to Josh and friends if you don’t want the boards to dry up.

He Who Rats First Rats Best.

If he’s flipping on his Washington insider contacts, this is going to get REALLY interesting REALLY fast. I’m less interested in him ratting out his brothers than I am with finding out what level of coordination there was with party or WH officials or T* functionaries.

And here’s the thing about flipping - you flip all the way, or your flip is meaningless. If he tries to hold back or weasel, he’s totally screwed. So if there were insiders working with him on the insurrection, they’re now in serious jeopardy. Let’s see who lawyers up now . . . .

He better steel himself for all of the blowback he’s gonna get.

You mean the part where Steve Jobs is brought back to life to screw with your Itunes collection and replace it with Sarah Palin doing covers of Britney Spears classics? And then lock you into another long term contract for a new Iphone? That part?

“The plea talks between Schafer — who wore a “Oath Keepers Lifetime Member” cap during the attack…”

Lifetime Member. Sort of like marriage I guess, subject to revocation on short notice.
