Watkins Could Be Going Away For A While

An Ohio member of the Oath Keepers militia group, charged with plotting with other extremists in the attack on the U.S. Capitol, disavowed the anti-government group in a court hearing. Jessica Watkins told the judge she is appalled by her fellow Oath Keepers and humiliated by her arrest. Watkins’ remarks came before the judge ordered her to remain behind bars while she awaits trial. Judge, Amit Mehta says Watkins was not just a foot soldier but was actively involved in the planning and organizing of the attack…and is too dangerous to be released. That’s a signal for prosecutors to go full bore on sentencing.
