“It was about making amends for your actions and deciding to put your country back where it belonged,” Mehta said. James was a regional leader for the Oath Keepers in Alabama and was in direct contact with Rhodes before the Jan. 6 riot. James and other Oath Keepers stored firearms in hotels on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., for a “quick reaction force” to possibly use, but they never deployed the guns.
After police pushed James out of the building, he reunited with Rhodes and other Oath Keepers. Two days later, James met Rhodes at a restaurant in Alabama.
