      Couy Griffin , an Otero County commissioner an the founder of Cowboys for Trump who was sentenced to 20 days in jail after being convicted at a bench trial of unlawful entry on Capitol grounds, was ordered removed from office by a county judge under the 14th amendment (for providing aid and comfort to an insurrection), the first time this has been done since 1869 and the first time the events of January 6th have been declared an insurrection by a court of law.       Michael Dickinson , 31, of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of assaulting law enforcement for throwing a coffee tumbler at one group of officers and pouring a bucket of water on another group during the January 6th insurrection.

      Joshua Pruitt , a Proud Boys recruit who encountered Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during the January 6th insurrection, a career criminal who continues to believe the Big Lie to this day, a D.C. resident who is perhaps the anthropomorphization of steroids, was sentenced to 55 months in prison with three years of probation and $2,000 restitution for obstruction of an official proceeding.       Patrick McCaughey III, Tristan Chandler Stevens, and David Mehaffie , three of the nine men charged for leading the violence against police in the Lowest West Terrace tunnel, had their bench trial conducted before Judge Trevor McFadden; their verdict is expected to be delivered after Labor Day weekend.       Steven Thurlow , 50, of Michigan, a veteran with ties to the Boogaloo Boys, which believes in a pending race-based civil war, was sentenced to two years of probation with 80 hours of community service and $500 restitution after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of picketing,

     The indictment of Kellye SoRelle is a bigger deal than most people seem to realize. SoRelle wasn't just AN attorney for the Oath Keepers or even THE attorney for the Oath Keepers. This Texas attorney who virtually testified before the January 6th Committee took over as the LEADER of the Oath Keepers in August 2021, and she was featured in the infamous video of Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio (both of whom have since been charged with seditious conspiracy) meeting in a D.C. parking garage on the night of January 5th, 2021.       SoRelle is far from the first person, however, to be charged with conspiracy or even sedition for her actions before, during, and after the January 6th insurrection. Here are the 45 people who have been charged (so far) and where their cases stand: Oath Keepers: Elmer Stewart Rhodes III-- Sentenced to 18 years in prison. Edward Vallejo-- Sentenced to three years in prison. Thomas Caldwell-- Convicted of
