Prosecutors at Stewart Rhodes’s seditious conspiracy trial say he shared foreign academic’s idea for storming Capitol with Trump adviser the day the 2020 election result was clear
. The Serbian academic on Nov. 6 posted a viral online video of himself in an office addressing a camera, urging Americans to follow the lead of a U.S.-backed uprising that began in 1999 against former Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic: swarm the streets, fight the police until they switch sides and storm parliament.
Rhodes’s eagerness to share the Serbian link provides a window into his thinking at a moment during the 2020 post-election struggle when, after years of bombastic and apocalyptic rhetoric, he seemingly took a fateful step toward militant action, in prosecutors’ telling. “So will you step up and push Trump to FINALLY take decisive action?” Rhodes asked the Stone group the day networks called the election for Biden, according to a text played in court. “That’s what we must do now. And then if he still refuses to do his duty, we will still have to do ours and we will.”“I think we’ll have to wait and see if other evidence comes out that ties them all together,” Eliason said.
