Oath Keepers Conspiracy Trial and Federal Prosecutor Strategy
Federal prosecutor Michael Sherwin revealed on "60 Minutes" that the DOJ's strategy following January 6th was to use "shock and awe" by arresting high-profile "internet stars" to deter people from attending the inauguration. Currently, 16 members of the Oath Keepers are facing conspiracy charges, with trial dates set as far out as August 2022. Critics argue that holding defendants for over a year without trial is a violation of legal standards and part of a broader political ramrod.
