Oath Keepers leader Stuart Rhodes and 10 co-conspirators were charged with seditious conspiracy on Thursday for allegedly plotting to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force via an armed, well-coordinated takeover of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
One of the co-conspirators the Justice Department alleges helped organize teams who would transport firearms into Washington, D.C., in support of this effort is Thomas Caldwell, a 66-year-old Navy veteran and fellow member of the Oath Keepers. Caldwell appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight hours after the indictment was unsealed on Thursday.
Carlson did all he could to portray the Caldwell as a sympathetic figure, introducing him pushing 70 and 100 percent military disabled before Caldwell flat-out denied he did anything wrong. Carlson showed pictures of Caldwell and his wife smiling together on Jan. 6, as Caldwell professed his innocence and described his treatment as a travesty of justice that should concern every American.
I have consistently taken the high road about this, Caldwell said. My wife and I are Christians. We understood there was a rush to judgement. I got arrested because somebody referred to me by my military rank: Commander Tom. Thats all they needed to put guns in my wifes face and take me off my farm in chains. But everything theyve said about me, and everything they said today about me, is untrue, and we can prove it.
We have all the faith in the world in God, he said later. We believe this is good versus evil. We are Christians.

And be prepared to write him the first of several 5-figure checks for his services.
