District Judge Amit Mehta accepted the government&#8217;s recommendation to apply an enhancement for terrorism in Rhodes&#8217; sentencing. Mehta agreed with prosecutors that Rhodes &#8220;inspired the use of violence&#8221; in his followers to disrupt the certification and that his conduct met the legal definition of terrorism intended to influence the actions of government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/level-terrorism-enhancement-oath-keepers-leader-stewart-rhodes\/story?id=99598181\">ABC News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TAH\/VG is no fan of Mr. Rhodes.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=81478\">Valor Guardians<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TAH\/VG is no fan of Staatspolizei tactics and kangaroo courts, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stewart Rhodes Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes sentenced to 18 years for leading Jan. 6 seditious &hellip; <a title=\"Oath Keeper Sentenced in 6 January Sedition Trial\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=141820\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Oath Keeper Sentenced in 6 January Sedition Trial<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":141821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,423,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-141820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-home-grown-terror","category-legal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=141820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/141821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=141820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=141820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=141820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
