"The Oath Keepers Data Leak: Unmasking Extremism in Public Life"
"In Virginia, a deputy sheriff with the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office wrote, 'I'm not sure that I have any talents that aren't already available or really useful. Outside of the military, I'm a graphic designer (AAS - Visual Communications) and self-storage assistant. I've worked for education publishing, newspapers, magazines, etc., doing image creation, ad layouts, flyers, brochures, design, and so forth…I am happy to assist with whatever I can though, whether it's with people, events, promotions, whatever.'" - Anti-Defamation League, Sept. 6, 2022

"Chesterfield Sheriff’s Deputy identified as Oath Keepers member, will not face discipline"
"'I will always defend individual constitutional rights. Memberships in an organization such as Oath Keepers, as well as many other groups, is a protected 1st Amendment right,' said Sheriff Karl Leonard. 'However, if at any time the line is crossed to violence, any criminal act, or any actions discriminatory in any fashion, swift action will be taken as that behavior will never be acceptable or tolerated.'" - Will Gonzalez/WRIC, Sep 7, 2022
