This is a step in the right direction in combatting the far-right extremists. From the Washington Post:
A federal jury on Tuesday convicted Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes of seditious conspiracy for leading a months-long plot to unleash political violence to prevent the inauguration of President Biden, culminating in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The panel of seven men and five women deliberated for three days before finding Rhodes and a co-defendant guilty of conspiring to oppose by force the lawful transition of presidential power. Rhodes and all four co-defendants on trial were also convicted of obstructing Congress as it met to confirm the results of the 2020 election. Both offenses are punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Jury convicts leader of rightwing group, Oath Keepers, which supported Trump's attempt to overturn 2020 election. Rhodes is a Yale Law-educated former paratrooper and disbarred attorney. In an eight-week trial, he and four associates were accused of fomenting a plot to use force to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.

I'm waiting for someone to say courts are rigged and all the volumes of evidence against them are fake.
It's kind of funny to me though when "dumb criminals" knowingly provide prosecutors with so much evidence against them there is no way they would not be convicted. Sort of like the Sandy Hook massacre denier Alex Jones. Some people just CAN NOT keep their mouth shut. On the other hand the name of their group was Oath Keepers, not Secret Keepers.
