Seditious Conspiracy

Suspicious Patterns Indicating Pre-Existing Relationships

Cross-Organizational Support

HSH supported leadership from BOTH conspiracy groups—Oath Keepers AND Proud Boys. Suggests insider knowledge of both networks, not random support.

Leadership Focus

Supported Rhodes (OK founder) and Biggs (PB leader) but not other leaders. Indicates specific pre-existing relationships.

Inactive Fundraisers

Biggs and Watkins fundraisers went inactive. Why? When? Suggests dynamic coordination with defendants.

Sumrall's Unique Position

Participant → Investigator → Possible HSH connection. Four-phase involvement cannot be explained by coincidence.

David Sumrall's Conflicts of Interest

Participant → Investigator

Investigated the very crimes he committed. Personal interest in case outcomes. Severe ethical violation and self-dealing.

Criminal → Court Access

Committed federal crimes, then gained access to prosecution materials. Could use knowledge to aid himself and co-participants.

Witness → Case Manager

Was present at scene, became investigator with access to witness statements. Potential witness tampering.

Conspirator → Narrative Controller

Has interest in defending attack he participated in. Uses platform to claim "political persecution" for his own crimes. Obstruction of accountability.

Critical Conclusions

✓ Proven by Data

• HSH selectively supported serious offenders (56% felons vs 32%)
• Cross-organizational connections to BOTH conspiracies
• 85% of HSH defendants found guilty (not persecution)
• Sumrall participated, avoided prosecution, gained court access

⚠ Highly Suspicious

• Four-phase involvement pattern
• Selective support for conspiracy leaders
• Inactive fundraisers for Biggs/Watkins
• Unprecedented conflicts of interest

? Requires Investigation

• Pre-Jan 6 coordination
• Sumrall's specific role in HSH
• Use of investigative access to aid defendants
• Communications between parties

⚖ Legal Implications

• Potential obstruction of justice
• Conspiracy to obstruct official proceedings
• Accessory after the fact
• Systematic effort to protect conspiracy leaders
