Disbarred Lawyer for the Oath Keepers Tries to Dismiss Seditious Conspiracy and Other Charges, Calls Them ‘Thought Crimes’ – By Adam Klasfeld (Law and Crime) / April 11, 2022
A disbarred lawyer for Oath Keepers leaders filed a motion to dismiss his seditious conspiracy count and other charges as Orwellian “thought crimes.” He also argued that the extremist group couldn’t have conspired to obstruct the presidential transfer of power because the U.S. Constitution doesn’t allow that.
Though he still represents the extremist group’s Florida chapter leader Kelly Meggs, Jonathon Moseley lost his license to practice law weeks ago on April 1.
The Circuit Court of Prince William County found that he violated a slew of professional rules, including those governing safekeeping property, candor toward the tribunal, fairness to opposing party and counsel, and unauthorized practice of law. That has not stopped Moseley from filing a 16-page missive about Meggs’ prosecution, strewn with block capital letters, boldface text and underlined text used seemingly only for emphasis.
