“What I did at the Capitol, to those police officers, that’s not who I am,” James told the judge before sentencing. Prosecutors told Mehta, who oversaw several trials against members and leaders of the Oath Keepers, that James had cooperated extensively with the government, especially in the case against the leader of the group, Stewart Rhodes, who Mehta sentenced to 18 years in prison. In explaining his sentencing, Mehta noted that during a tour in Iraq, James had been on a bridge that was blown up by an IED, which killed several of his comrades. James had to undergo several facial reconstruction surgeries and suffered brain trauma. James is a true American hero,” Mehta said, later praising James for “making amends for your actions and deciding to put your country back where it belonged.”

The Justice Department prosecuted the first Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy case earlier this fall with mixed success – two leaders, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, were convicted of the charge while three others were acquitted. That adjustment was on full display Monday, as prosecutor Troy Edwards delivered his opening argument to the jury. Prosecutors struggled at times during the first trial to explain whether Rhodes directly ordered his militia to enter the Capitol building. Rhodes told them it was now time to take their place in history,” Edwards said. When the Oath Keepers heard that the Capitol had been breached, Edwards said they hustled toward the chaos.
