Topic: Kelly Meggs

Dr. Beatty speculates that Stuart Rhodes may have been working for a federal "cutout" rather than directly for an agency. He points out that Rhodes was subpoenaed as a defense witness for Kelly Meggs just one week before being charged himself. By charging Rhodes, the government effectively ensures he will plead the Fifth Amendment, thereby removing him as a potentially helpful witness for other defendants.

Beattie discusses federal informant Steve Robeson's active role in prodding the Michigan plotters, which defense attorneys are using to argue entrapment. He notes that attorneys for January 6 defendants, such as Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs, are now using Revolver News' research to subpoena Ray Epps. Beattie finds it encouraging that legal defense teams are doing the investigative work the committee refuses to do.

Stewart Rhodes announces plans to sue Congressman Bennie Thompson and others for defamation after being labeled a "white supremacist" organization. He highlights the diversity within the Oath Keepers, including black members in leadership roles. A legal defense fund for Kelly and Connie Meggs is promoted via GiveSendGo to help those facing prosecution for the Capitol events.
