I have a major additional development in this story about Mark Grods. He was arrested and charged only TODAY. He does not appear, at least by name, in any of the prior Oath Keeper indictments.
The statement of information, linked above, and plea agreement was filed with the court only on Monday, and under seal. This was so he could testify to a grand jury (probably yesterday) before the Oath Keepers knew he was cooperating.
So what does this mean? It means the DOJ played this real smart and real close to the chest. It means Grods has been cooperating with the DOJ for a LONG time. By long I mean at least weeks. In that time the terms for the plea deal were worked out and he spilled his guts to the DOJ. All of them. He then testified to the grand jury earlier this week. That means more indictments will be coming based (in part) on his testimony. I suspect a lot of them.
Oath Keepers had no idea this guy was really on the DOJ's radar until today. I have figured out that he is identified as "Person Fifteen" in this charging document for 16 other Oath Keepers.
He could well be one of the guys that fake newser Tucker Carlson claimed was an FBI agent. He's not. He's now convicted.
There is a very real chance that Grods was in communication with other conspirators while he was cooperating with DOJ, and just turning it over to the government.
