>and later tweets that journalism isn't a profession and they tend to talk about things they shouldn't.

>SWC says the reason Rhodes wasn't charged is probably because the DOJ is building a wirefraud-type case against him related to what he did with membership dues after the Bundy standoff (he was involved in that too) caused a surge in membership and revenue, and that takes a long time to build.

>they agree there's evidence to charge Rhodes but disagree over why he hasn't been yet.

>rittenhouse's old lawyer John Pierce who supposedly stole from the family gofundme is representing Rhodes, and rittenhouse's new lawyer Barnes said JP is no good, Rhodes would be better off representing himself.

>shipwreck fights barnes over this, says it's terrible advice

>says its odd that Rhodes wasn't raided

>asks why wouldn't feds indict rhodes on jan 6 first, and do the financial charges later if he wasn't a fed, like they did with a lower level Oath Keeper
