into online conspiracy theories. he now admits he was, quote, acting like a traitor, someone acting against my own government. joining us now from outside of the federal courthouse in washington, nbc news justice reporter ryan reilly. good morning. what more did this former oath keeper have to say? and is this just a case of him trying to get his sentenced reduced, or do you think there s real contrition here? reporter: it s part of it. he was pretty emotional talking about why he took the guilty plea. he s hoping the government would take that into consideration when it came time for his sentencing. his testimony was very beneficial to the prosecution because it sort of explains the mind-set a lot of these oath keepers had about what was happening on january 6th, because you know, what we haven t seen in this trial is a ton of evidence in terms of preplanning of we re going to enter the u.s. capitol. what young was explaining was that was sort of the obvious outcome of what they wer
