At the heart of the case against Stewart Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader who was sentenced on Thursday to the longest prison term yet in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, was a rare and serious charge: seditious conspiracy.Although people have sometimes colloquially used terms like sedition, insurrection, domestic terrorism and treason interchangeably when discussing the events of Jan. 6, 2021, seditious conspiracy is legally distinct from the other terms in subtle but important ways.
