Oath Keepers FBI Interviews Contradict Indictment Charges

May 2021 interviews with Indiana leader say there was no plan to attack U.S. Capitol or interfere with transfer of power

• Michael Greene, 39, of Indianapolis, was arrested in Indiana on a warrant from Washington.
• Greene is not accused of seditious conspiracy, a charge leveled in a different indictment against nine Oath Keepers, including the group’s founder, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III.

FBI Notes Contradict Indictments

• Greene's indictment surprised some case observers, coming nearly 13 months after he was interviewed by FBI agents regarding his participation with the Oath Keepers at events in various cities.
• According to the FBI's case notes from interviews with Greene on May 4 and May 25, 2021, he told agents there was no Oath Keeper plan to attack the U.S. Capitol and that his role on Jan. 6 was to oversee security for speakers at various events at or near the Capitol.

Oath Keepers Prevent Shooting?

• Meggs allegedly told Person 10 that he entered the U.S. Capitol to assist police, and those OKs who went inside assisted a police officer who was being surrounded by the crowd," the FBI report said.
• During the chaotic scene, a man is heard saying, "Kill everybody, right?"
• A female voice responded shortly after, "We don't want to kill anybody. We just want answers."
• In an interview with The Epoch Times in March, Rhodes said the Capitol Police officer was in a shooting stance and likely mere seconds away from firing.
