Oath Keeper’s defense may have backfired as prosecutors say it opens door to revealing his ‘death list’

Attorneys representing Oath Keeper Thomas Caldwell this week tried to paint their client as someone who was only interested in defending the Capitol against Antifa on January 6th, 2021 — and it may have backfired.

In a new court filing flagged by Politico’s Kyle Cheney, prosecutors argue that Caldwell’s claims about the benevolence of his intentions in being at the Capitol have now opened the door for them to introduce more damning evidence to jurors.

“Caldwell has opened the door on redirect examination to evidence that he created a “death list” and included included federal presidential election workers during the charged conspiracy,” the government argues.
