Lawyer Claims She’s Now In Charge Of Oath Keepers

Law & Crime reports:

An attorney who once used the “Lord of the Rings” as a litigation blueprint for a dubious and failed attempt to sideline Joe Biden via the federal courts reportedly now says she’s the leader of the “Oath Keepers.”

Kellye SoRelle told CBS News that she is running the far-right group in the absence of Stewart Rhodes, its recently arrested leader. Rhodes was charged Thursday with seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 siege on the U.S. Capitol Complex.

SoRelle has served as general counsel to the militant Oath Keepers group, according to statements by Rhodes himself. SoRelle is also said to have recorded a video claimed by right-wing conspiracy theorists to portray a Pelican protective case full of fraudulent 2020 election ballots being wheeled about Detroit.

Dallas’s ABC News affiliate reports:



“I am currently acting as President of Oath Keepers in lieu of Mr. Rhodes until he is released. He is not guilty of any of the outlandish charges and the organization stands with Mr. Rhodes. I would like for the political parties and politicians to stop dividing the people and using us to promote agendas for their own personal financial gain,” SoRelle said.

Her statements echoed those made by one of Rhodes’ lawyers, Jon Moseley, who blamed his client’s arrest on political pressure from Democrats.

According to SoRelle’s website, she volunteered for Lawyers for Trump in November 2020 and was assigned to assist the group Michigan where she was involved in legal challenges to the election results. Before Rhodes’ arrest, SoRelle had been serving as the general counsel for the Oath Keepers.
