bugout

Your bugout bag might be stocked better than anyone you know, and your wilderness training may be top-notch.

On Jan. 11, another Oath Keeper, Jessica Watkins of Ohio, allegedly messaged a co-conspirator: “We’ve been organizing a bugout plan if the usurper is installed. . .Something like 20+ Oathkeepers going to Kentucky mountains on hundreds of acres apparently.”

“We’ve been organizing a bugout plan if the usurper is installed,” the person’s Facebook message said.

People in prison use the word “bugout” to refer to those with serious mental illness.

In a separate filing issued on Wednesday, prosecutors revealed evidence that two of Mr. Meggs’s co-defendants in the Oath Keepers case, Jessica Watkins and Donovan Crowl — both Ohio residents — swapped messages on Facebook just days after the Capitol attack, discussing a “bugout plan” if then-President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. actually took office.
