Declutter the lead

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The first paragraph could probably be better at summarizing. I propose:

In November 2022, Rhodes and another leader of the organization were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their actions around the January 6 United States Capitol attack. Along with three other leaders, they were also convicted of obstruction and other felonies.

Is changed to: In November 2022, Rhodes and other leaders of the organization were convicted of various crimes, including seditious conspiracy, for their actions around the January 6 United States Capitol attack.

Disagree. Because seditious conspiracy is an extremely serious offense and the text should be clear on which persons were convicted. Right-wing extremists get convicted of violent crimes is a bit like dog bites man. It happens every day. TFD (talk) 12:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

The first use of his name the article is at: Prominent members > Elmer Stewart Rhodes and links to this article, please pipe to Stewart Rhodes also please link the same in the info box, which leaves the redirect alone for it own uses as prescribed. thanks 2404:4408:638C:5E00:59:1B5B:5ADB:6C25 (talk) 04:10, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Claim that Oath Keepers support "Sovereign Citizens" and "Posse Comitatus"

Please provide a single quote from the sources that actually states this, or the notion that they think sheriffs are the highest authorities of the land. I read through the entirety of the sources and never do they specifically state that the Oath Keepers' leadership or most of their members support these views. Do they not obsess over Donald Trump, someone who certainly isn't a sheriff, and attacked the capital in support of him? I'm confused where that even comes from the sources.
