Today on Steel News with Ann Vandersteel, we examine the unfinished business of January 6, through the eyes of a man who paid one of the highest prices. Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, was convicted of seditious conspiracy and sentenced to 18 years in prison, despite never entering the U.S. Capitol. His sentence was later commuted, not pardoned, leaving his conviction intact and his civil exposure unresolved. As civil cases continue against President Trump under Reconstruction-era statutes like the Third Enforcement Act of 1871, and as courts deny presidential immunity by reframing Trump as a political candidate rather than a sitting executive, the legal architecture of January 6 remains very much alive. We explore how commutations versus pardons affect veterans’ rights and benefits, how militia groups were legally isolated from Trump to preserve civil liability, and why the same laws once used after the Civil War are now being repurposed to reshape modern American politics. And in Segment Two, we bring the conversation home, to Michigan, where citizens like Chadwick Twillman, a candidate for State Senate District 35, are stepping forward to challenge unchecked government power at the state level, where the Constitution either holds or collapses. This is about oaths. Who keeps them. Who breaks them. And who finally says: enough.
