Darren Beattie of Revolver.News is one of the top reporters on the events of January 6, and he has been asking why Stewart Rhodes was never arrested despite clear evidence of his involvement. Well, this week he was arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy, a charge that carries a 20-year sentence.
“I want to say that I don’t want the regime to trot out this headline of an arrest as some kind of ostensible debunking of the possibility that Rhodes had been protected up to this point on the basis of a relationship with the government as a kind of assert or informant. I don’t think this arrest really dispenses with any of the pressing questions… I think in many ways the arrest only intensifies those questions.”
