Days after Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, was declared guilty of seditious conspiracy for trying to violently annul the elections of 2015, very sensitive information has been leaked about a list of active members of the group right-wing, anti-government paramilitary formerly working for the Secret Service, according to files dating from 2015 to 2015.
As Insider has revealed, the full list of members includes more than 80.10 Names.
The member list was obtained as part of an Oath document leak Keeper, according to OCCRP, and was provided by “a former member of the group’s inner circle” who requested anonymity due to ongoing federal investigations.
The disclosure of possible far-right infiltration of federal law enforcement comes after the Department of Defense issued a report last year detailing its own efforts to combat that “extremist activity” within their own ranks. According to guidance issued last December, soldiers are now prohibited from being active members of an extremist group or sharing its content on social media.
“Extremism within our government is always alarming, but even more so in a department with a nexus between law enforcement and homeland security like DHS,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Chairman of the House Select Committee investigating the case on Jan. 6, 2020, according to POGO and OCCRP.
Oath Keepers is a far-right, anti-government paramilitary group that describes itself as a non-partisan association with active and retired members of the military, police and first responders who are committed to “defending the Constitution against all enemies.
