Hearing that her estranged husband, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, was convicted on seditious conspiracy against the United States, Tasha Adams said she felt “relieved and happy,” although she warned that Rhodes may try to seek a presidential pardon.
“This is the first time he’s ever faced consequences ― ever. Really, it’s the first time he’s ever been held accountable for anything he’s ever done,” she said.
Adams spoke with HuffPost briefly Tuesday after the verdict was read in Rhodes’ trial, a two-month affair that named him a defendant alongside four others linked to the far-right Oath Keepers group he founded over a decade ago.
Following three days of deliberation, the jury panel’s verdict was mixed on many of the charges against the Oath Keeper defendants. All five were found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Two of them, Rhodes and Kelly Meggs ― a leader in the Oath Keepers’ Florida chapter ― were found guilty of sedition, the most serious charge levied against any of the Capitol rioters so far. It carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.

Another reason why it needs to become mandatory nationwide that “people” like this repulsive nazi piece of shit and all of the filthy brainless cattle that are his followers automatically get the death penalty as punishment for their crimes
