first, more on the convictions, including on two counts of seditious conspiracy in the case against five so-called oath keepers. cnn's sara sidner joins us from outside of federal court in washington, sarah, what's the latest? >> john, it can't be overstated. this is a historic day in what was a historic trial. that's because this charge of seditious conspiracy, along with many of the other charges that they face, up to ten charges. it's significant, it is rare, and the heaviest artist we've really seen in these january 6th cases. this is the first time that the doj, federal prosecutors try a case where seditious conspiracy was one of the charges, and what ended up happening was that two of five people who were accused of seditious conspiracy were found guilty. one of the five, significant because he is the founder and leader of the far-right militia group, the oath keepers. stewart rhodes the third was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, as was kelly meggs.

he was one of the lieutenants, as prosecutors put, it and also an oath keeper himself. he was also found guilty, this was not a clean sweep for the prosecution. of the five, to only two people were found guilty of statistics -- it's a rare charge, it's a very herd charge, to get people to rally around and see, with mountains of evidence. i can't underscore how much evidence this jury had to listen to over seven weeks of testimony, and look at as they deliberated for the past three days. there were several other charges, as i mentioned, and one of those was obstructing an official proceeding. there is a hodgepodge of decisions, the jury picked some people that were guilty, in some charges, and other people

were not. in this particular charge, obstructing of official proceeding, all five members, all five defendants were found guilty. the reason why that's significant, just like an seditious conspiracy, it carries up to a 20-year maximum prison sentence. they are all now facing that kind of potential time in prison, john. >> serious possible sentences this year. you are at court, and i know there were people in attendance who are impacted by january 6th, waiting for this outcome. >> that's absolutely true. officer harry dunn testified in this trial, and one of the reasons why he testified is that there was some talk by the defense that the oath keepers actually helped him when they stormed into the capitol while he was in the capital, trying to defend nancy pelosi's office, while he was trying to defend the capital itself.

he testified that they indeed did not do such a thing, he was setting in the front row, he was emotional, he basically said, look, it was emotional, and i did not expect to cry in there. -- i will make one more important note here, john, the judge in this case, judge -- he had a very tight rain on this courtroom throughout this case, it was a very long and grueling child. the attorneys for the defense came forward and praised him in a way that they haven't had in a long time. the reason why this is significant is because this is -- these attorneys are here defending people who were very strong proponents of donald trump. the judge was appointed by president obama, and it just goes to show you as the judge said, this is how the american public should view the justice system. the justice system worked in the ways that it was supposed to work, and it is a wonderful example of the american way. john? >> steiner, you spent a lot of time in that courtroom studying

this trial. we appreciate your time. joining us now, cnn legal analyst -- both former justice department officials. also senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. and chief political analyst -- i want to start with you, fbi director released a statement tonight, i want to read part of it for you. he says they're breaking the law, in an attempt to undermine the functioning of american democracy will not be tolerated. the statement went on to say that we, and our partners will continue to hold accountable those that engaged in illegal acts regarding the january 6th siege on the u.s. capitol. how big of a win is this, and, for the justice department? >> it's a huge win, absolutely huge when. you can't overstate how significant this is. for the department, it was a controversial issue internally, as to whether they were actually going to be bringing these charges of seditious conspiracy. they took the bold move, they really let it hang out there, and took a chance of losing on such a politically sensitive charge. they were able to bring it back. it's huge for them, it's a very huge deal strategically for the cases that will follow. the convictions on seditious conspiracy, which carry long sentences, could actually

motivate some of these folks. you look at kelly meggs for example, who by my count was guilty of all of the charges he faced. he will have a great incentive now to potentially cooperate with some of the other cases like the proud boys case, or the other oath keepers case that's coming down the road. this is going to have far consequences beyond today. and hopefully it will send that message that the director mentioned. that's the most important term -- if you understand that this kind of conduct will not be tolerated. >> this is the first time since 1995 that guilty verdict has been reached on a seditious conspiracy charge. the significance of that, especially because the doj took some heat for bringing charges in the first place. >> absolutely. this is a win for the doj, in terms of the decision to move forward the prosecution, in a politically sensitive case. it's more important than that, because this is a big win for the rule of law. we are now almost two years later from the advance of january 6th, and the process works. the justice department conducted an extensive investigation, they decided to bring these cases that they felt they had the evidence, and now we have this really -- a charge where the law, a law

that is not used often, as you mentioned, matched the political effect of what happened on january 6th, 2021. from that perspective, this prosecution and conviction places january 6th in his proper historical context. >> gloria, what about the larger political impact here, particularly when you consider those the try to diminish this overtime, it's just a visit, it wasn't that big of a deal. these charges brought in some cases were so small. seditious conspiracy is not small, and so the overall impact? >> it's a very important charge, and they managed to convict two of the leaders of the oath keepers, and so i think it's hugely important. it's also very important to look at the way that the jury did this, which is that you cannot say that this was a witch hunt by a democratic jury in washington, d. c., these are people who sat for seven weeks and poured over testimony for three days, and when they were done, they didn't convict all, or acquit all, they went person by person by person. as a political reporter, i was thinking that it kind of reminds me of the midterm elections, because when we saw over the country, with people looking at candidates and voting for republicans for governor, and a democrat for

senator. people made decisions based on what they saw and what they heard. i think that's exactly what we saw the jury do, and i think that is important for the american public to see. >> as a political reporter, that's all you see, those elections, the choice isn't everything. we can say that. elie, stewart rhodes did not enter the capitol on january 6th, but he was on capitol grounds. talk about the larger impact of what that might mean for the greater investigation here?

>> it's almost as if you went to law school, because that's a question right out of first year criminal law, which is how one is charged and convicted of a conspiracy. there has to be an agreement between the two parties, and what is called an over act in overruns of the conspiracy. you have to agree to do, it and then take a step towards doing it. he did not have to step on the grounds of the capitol, to for instance, senate number of text messages calling for a bloody revolution, stashing weapons, in virginia, across the border and on and on, organizing these strike teams to come into the capitol. no, one need not to step on a place where the underlying crime happened. if you're the puppeteer blowing the strings, and directing people that absolutely you

could be -- frankly, any of those individuals in the indictment that we had could have also been convicted based on their level of communication with roads and others there. frankly, the other defendants ought to be thanking their lucky stars today that they were not convicted based on the intimacy and communication, and the planning of this event. yes, even if you weren't on the capitol that day, you could be convicted of a crime. >> no, i did not go to law school, but i spent a lot of time around you folks. maybe something has rubbed off over all of this time. andrew, you spent a long time in the fbi working against different extremist groups. what kind of impact might this have on them across the country. >> john, we hope it will have a very logical and impactful impression upon them. the messages that you cannot just follow your own nonsensical interpretation of the institution, if your

criminal law, federal law, state law, and impose your own grievances and express them by wreaking violence upon your fellow citizens in our democratic process. that will not be tolerated. the justice department will come after, you no matter how hard the cases. we saw that today. you will be suffering some severe consequences. hopefully, it will have a chilling effect on the message and the methods of recruiting, and bringing more people and support into this extremist movement that we are seeing. >> it'll be fascinating to see where this goes next. carrie cordero, andrew mcquade, gloria, thank you all for being with us tonight. let's get more now on mark meadows, and the court ruling that makes him the latest in a long line of people in the former president circle to have tried and failed to avoid giving testimony to the georgia grand jury investigating the attempt to overturn the 2020 election there.

cnn's sara murray has the latest, and is with us now. sarah, why was mark meadows trying to fight this subpoena? what are prosecutors in georgia now wanting to know from him? >> he lives in south carolina, so that's where this legal fight was playing. out he argued that he had executive privilege, argued that search south carolina law should not force him to testify based on the kind of subpoena that he had, and the kind of proceeding in georgia. the south carolina supreme court said today that the arguments were manifestly, without merit. he should have to testify. prosecutors want to know a lot of things for mark meadows in georgia, he was on that call where trump called georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger and asked raffensperger to find what he needed to win the election in georgia. he showed up in georgia, he was passing along emails to the justice department with unsubstantiated voter fraud claims. there were a number of issues

that prosecutors were hoping that they would be able to go over with mark meadows now that he is ordered to testify. >> sarah, in other trying to overturn the 2020 election, is in a separate investigation we heard that stephen miller testified before the federal grand jury earlier today. the significance there? >> that's right. he was subpoenaed months ago, and his appearance was significant because this is not the first witness that we know of before he showed up in that grand jury, since jackson myth has taken over this investigation. they said that we did not expect investigations to pause, and or to lag at all under his oversight, i think that this is more evidence of that. this is another person who is very close to former president trump, this is a person that had conversations with the former president ahead of the speech that he gave on january 6th. all of that stuff is of course in interest for prosecutors. >> sarah, thank you as always for your reporting. still to come tonight, u.s. men's national team one nil victory over iran at the world cup, i will speak to a soccer journalist who was at the match, and his podcast co-host about the highlights, and what is next for team usa. another report on the

hopefully a good sign that the u.s. faces the netherlands. iran did have his chances, including one low header that went just wide of the goal, i think we see that here first. that one wide of the, gold and then another shot squeaked through the legs of goalkeeper matt turner, but was swept away by central defender walker zimmerman, thank goodness he was there. perspective now from soccer journalist grant wall who is at the scene for the match, in his podcast teammate, soccer commentator chris whittingham. >> obviously, this is a big win for the united states. i know how excited i was watching the loan in what west chester. what was it like to be in the actual stadium while he was going on? >> absolutely crazy atmosphere inside of the stadium. crazy in a good way. the u.s. sends a lot of fans to the world cup now, and so the u.s. fans were extremely loud, in a part of the world where there are a lot of iran fans in

the stands. they were very loud. you really felt like this is a classic world cup atmosphere, which is why i always tell everybody, at some point in your, life go to a world cup, even if you're a huge soccer fan, it's just an amazing feeling, just like you at the center of the universe. >> chris, what is your take on the rest of this? i just saw in the twitter feed, this is the first time that the united states has ever had to shut outs in any world cup since 1930. >> since 1930, it's crazy. when you think about the way that they do it, it is in the

first half, you have to go and get your goal, you get your goal, and then you ask yourself the question, do you then hunker in and defend, or do you try to get a 2nd? i think they gave themselves an opportunity to go get that 2nd, but then they realized we should close up shop and defend. they did it for 40 minutes to give up one goal, 9 from open play. it's with a variety of defenders, with players they were criticized before the tournament, there are some doubts about them, and yet they were sensational. all 3 games in this group today. >> courageous, harrowing defending down in the stretch today. grant, what does this mean for u.s. soccer? the u.s. has advanced to the group stage before, even gone to the quarterfinals once. this feels bigger, different in some way. >> you really feel like the u. s. was the most consistent team in this group. they deserved to get to the round of 16. you also feel like they might not necessarily stop here. there's so much excitement,

because it is a young generation. is the youngest starting lineup in this tournament at the world cup, 32 teams. they are fulfilling the expectations that people had of them entering this tournament. it's the first world cup for all but one player on the u.s. team. i think there's some really engaging personalities on here. they're a great team. they seem to really like each other. we haven't always seen that with the u.s. men's national team. >> and they're just playing good soccer by any definition, anywhere in the world. they would define it as such. christian pulisic, the u.s. national team just put it an announcement that the injury that he scored, is a pelvic contusion. ouch. that sounds painful. how big of a concern is this going forward? >> i don't think it's a massive concern. he posted a picture on his snapchat with full fist pump, and ready to go, saying i am not missing saturday, the u. s. midfielder also said that he is not missing saturday. to what degree will be he be affected by this injury? i think that josh sergeants injury will also be bad as well. the u.s. manager has settled on a group of 10 players, maybe even 11 that he knows are his trusted guys, and those 2 guys are a huge part of it. pulisic, if he can't go, or if he's weakened by this injury, that's of concern. we have brendan aaronson, geno arraign available, that could

potentially come off of the bench and fill pulisic's rule. how cool is it that a player that has been so harrowed in the last 5 years gets a chance to score the goal it sensed into the u.s. cup -- >> grant, looking ahead to saturday, it's against the netherlands, a historic soccer powerhouse. predictions? >> before the tournament started, my put my predictions out. i had the netherlands and the united states meeting in the round of 16. i picked the netherlands. there are reasons for that. i think that louis then haula is a tremendous coach. van dijk is a player that you can build an entire team around, iraq in the backline. their breakout star is tony gakpo, who won every game in this world cup so far. they're going to need a handful, and they don't feel like the netherlands has permits as well as they expected to.

the u.s. would go into this game feeling like they have a realistic shot to win, they have a swagger about them, a confidence. i think it's going to be a tight game. >> chris, how do the u.s. men's soccer team, how do they win? >> if you ask for a prediction, i would've said 0-0 after 120 minutes, and they win on penalties. this is a team that is rock-solid defensively. if you look at the blueprint that the u.s. employed against the game in england, playing the ball, making a deflate difficult for england to play out of the back and play their usual passing style. it's going to have to be something similar. it's about denying frankie dion,

their midfield player. orchestrating the play, and allowing their teammates to go into good positions to score goals. obviously, stopping total -- they're trusting this u.s. defense, maybe find a goal or just say to hold on and win this one on penalties. >> 2-1 for the u.s., pulisic scores. grant wahl, it's a honor to speak to, you can't wait to hear your podcast tomorrow morning. thank you very much. >> thanks, john. >> ahead, repression, surveillance, intimidation, more on how chinese authorities are using those tactics to try to crush the rare protest we are witnessing across the communist nation.

>> protests over the zero covid policies has been sweeping the nation in ways that they haven't in decades. people have risen up on the state and campuses in 17 cities, they're demonstrating against extremely strict lockdowns decide to stomp out small outbreaks. china's top security agency has called for a crackdown on what it calls, quote, sabotage activities by hostile forces. hostile forces meaning protesters seeking freedom from

oppression, like having their cell phones confiscated under authoritarian rule. more now with lauren cota, an american living in china for 4 years, currently in shanghai. and david culver is in los angeles, but lived and worked in china under these strict lockdown. what's it been like, what is the mood there? >> i think that he is frozen there. david, i can put the same question to you. you lived through 50 days of lockdown in china earlier this year. what kind of a toll does that play? >> let's start with the connection there. that was part of the reality we dealt with, often trying to circumvent the big firewall. everything is a lot slower. this is part of their strategy,

we're starting to see it in certain parts of the city, parts on the ground where we have jammers in place where you don't get cell signal. one part of that is very convenient, because you can't transmit messages or images of what is going on. we're starting to see this. you and i talked about this a little, bit because we are starting to hear murmurings and happened. you are starting to see them on the ground in shanghai, asking people, give me your phone. let me see what images you have on it. they want to see if there are protest images, and they want to delete those. one of the things that really sits on you when you're in the midst of these lockdowns, 50 days in shanghai, a very confined space. mentally, it starts to mess with you. we were lucky, we were only there 50 days. it continued several weeks after we left. heavily reliant on the government, from everything from food to medicine, and you are having to make sure that those supplies were able to

come in and some manner. i think sympathize with my neighbors that are desperate, some of them very sick, and trying to figure out how they were able to continue on, given how strict these lockdowns are. they lock you down into your home in many cases. we are sealed with a piece of tape, but you need permission. not only to step inside your home, but if you go even further from the compound, you would oftentimes not be allowed back in at all. >> there were restrictions, they, even having to do with covid. there's also the erasure of any record of these protests. how complete can that actually be? how much that can they set out the rest of the world to the chinese people? we were talking but the world cup before, but one of the things you hear is that the world have games, which people have been trying to watch in china, they see fans sitting in the city stands packed, not wearing masks, and they start

to ask why is that happening over there, and not here. how completer the restrictions? >> it's incredibly frustrating for those individuals who have access to outside of china. a lot of them have vp ends on their phones are able to circumvent that, going around the great, while to see those things. but you're starting to see that the rest of the world has moved on in many ways. china, for at least a year, march 2020 onward, had it under these very strict lockdowns, and these really draconian measures, keeping life flowing within travel. you start to look at the outside world, the death and

destruction coming from covid, and you, said okay, we are safe here. and then he started to see the rest of the world move past it, vaccines were a huge part of that, as the west was trying to implement the vaccinations. very slow on the roll out there. china has continued to vilify the virus, which has been a very difficult thing for them to overcome, because the narrative has been heavily manipulated to say, this is an imported threat, it is even something that was linked to foreigners, those west they were ex pats living there, starting to be seen as threats. and so for them to try to reverse the narrative here, and just say, maybe we can get past this, it's going to get challenging movement. their way of doing it is to approach technology. a race the hard drive. human minds to work that way.

>> is there in awe front here? hang on one 2nd before, because we were able to get our other guest back by phone. if you can hear me, and again, david pointed out, it's interesting that your feed went down just as you are trying to talk to us. give us a sense of the mood in shanghai right now. >> absolutely. thank you for having me on. partially, it has to do with whether nature running her course for the last couple of days. our weather has turned rather nasty. i think that's given the authorities to have a chance to enforce what they are looking to do. they're going to the people, they're looking at the phones, trying to delete things, and really crack down on it. >> does it feel to you that this is being contained? do you still think that it

might amp up the protest even more, from what you can see? >> it's hard to tell at the moment. partially because once they start to crack down, things get a little we're quiet. due to the weather, it has quieted down. i think that the weather is going to pick up a little bit, and it might be a little bit more happen, but again it is hard to tell. for the most part, it's -- if you're not in the area where protests are living, you really don't know what's going on. >> thank you for bearing with us and joining us by phone to give us that look from basically the streets of shanghai. we really appreciate it. as always, thank you to you for all of your help and insight. back here in the united states, fears still mounting in the idaho college town where 4 students were murdered 2 weeks ago. no suspect has been named yet. what cnn was told today about that investigation. before & bath fitter. now's the time to call bath fitter to get a beautiful "after." with our unique tub over tub process, there's no mess or stress. bath fitter. it just fits. visit bathfitter.com to book your free consultation. ♪ ♪

we want to see the person that to this. >> police say that calls for welfare checks have doubled compared to last month, and while there are signs of normalcy here throughout the community, reminders that the killings remain unsolved. >> we recognize there is fear in this community, we recognize that there has been no suspect identified, and no arrests made. what we do want the community to know is that while we don't see a lot of activity, collecting evidence, working, we are working behind the scenes. >> john, the university says the roughly 2 thirds of their students have come back to campus to attend class. there will also be that vigil tomorrow for the 4 students. they have been hearing from students here that they want to be in attendance for that, at least to come back for that an d be around their classmates during this very difficult time. john? >> verona miracle, in moscow,

idaho, thank you so much for your reporting. to another multiple homicide case, we are closely following the so-called cat fishing murders in riverside, california. the mother and grandparents of a teenage girl were found dead on friday, the suspect was killed in a shootout. police believed that the 28 -year-old virginia state trooper had been scamming the teen online, pretending to be somebody that he wasn't. traveled across the country to kidnap her. the twisted crime that we're about to get more insight on from john miller, cnn chief law enforcement intelligence and analyst. and former deputy of intelligence. there are multiple crime scenes here. there is the fire at the house that was burned down, where the relatives were killed. there is the shootout, where the girl was rescued. you say that the most challenging place is the digital crime scene, why? >> even at the fire granting, where the evidence is largely burned, there's a process to go through that, and everything is

there. the medical examiner, the crime scene people, you have body cam, you have helicopters, you have the crime scene that you can freeze. the digital crime scene is a real challenge because you are dealing with a guy that is pretending to be a teenage boy, communicating with a 15 year old girl on the other side of the country. in actuality, he is a virginia state trooper. this conversation, how long did it go on? was it weeks? was it months? was it a year? what platforms didn't take place on, and how many? and john, this is the key, which of those platforms are encrypted, where they are self erasing the materials as the conversation goes? in an investigation like this, what we would've done is you hit the providers as soon as you learn which ones they are, and that can take time with preservation notices, don't throw anything away.

and then the search, or turn over what you have. the problem is, if it is encrypted, and the provider does not have access to it, they cannot take it to give it to you. if it is one of the apps which erases as it goes, they never had it in the first place, or not for very long. >> and so catfishing is a term that some of our audience might not know. what exactly is it, and how does this specific case comport with the normal definition? >> catfishing as we know it, it's the romance stamp. you start a conversation, you might be in another country claiming to be right here in america. very complimentary, the next thing you know you love them, the next thing you know you are telling them that they are this incredible person, and that you should be together. once you have their full confidence and emergency happens, and you ask for money. it's 70,000 dollars, it was a terrible accident, they need an operation. in this case, there's no money demand. you are reeling the person, in i'm another teenager, i understand you.

building her up and saying that we can be together. as crazy as it sounds, this individual is a police officer who left the virginia state police, joined the stairs department, but we have another case invective ill, california, back in july. we had a 38-year-old man playing a teenager to a 15 -year-old girl, ended up having to rescue her from a house in tijuana when she ran off with him. there is a case in maryland where you have another fully adult individual talking to a 12-year-old who drives up to pennsylvania and picks her up, and is later caught in a police sting. this is a very disturbing trend, but usually they don't end like this. this is a bold step to go into a house to shoot the family, take the child, said a final, cover your tracks, get into a

high chase with police i can't remember in a case like this ever seeing something like that. >> the former line forsman officer, jon, miller thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. we're just starting to get video in of severe weather in the deep south. 10 tornadoes already reported, and the threat on the ground is very real. a live update, when we come back. it's nice to unwind after a long week of telling people how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need!
