Jury selection is scheduled to get underway Tuesday for the trial of Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and four other members of the right-wing militia group charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The biggest charge, seditious conspiracy — trying “to overthrow, put down or to destroy by force the government of the United States” — carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence. “They were not there to storm the Capitol, to stop the certification, to take over the Government,” Rhodes’ lawyers argued in court papers. Prosecutors said Rhodes helped organize “quick reaction forces,” some of them at a hotel in nearby Virginia. The pool will start to be whittled down Tuesday as potential jurors face questions from government prosecutors and lawyers for the defendants.
