Exclusive: Proud Boys leader was ‘prolific’ informer for law enforcement (msn.com)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters.



Must have been a low value asset. Doesn't seem relevant I wonder why. You can't jail him and now you can't use him.
What's the point? Why ever publicly burn an asset?

who you wit?

It's nothing new. DEMOCRATS are too dishonest or ignorant to acknowledge it.

For decades, local police and FBI have sent undercover officials to participate in — and escalate — protests.

I daresay you are not a liberal at least based on that list.

Awww, but I am, when every criteria is considered I lean just slightly left of center.
I am actually very much like a huge segment of our society, close to the center and not all that tolerant of the extremes.

It is a right of passage when on patrol in the DMZ, everyone does it, and yes, it is dangerous as hell, but hey, young and stupid......

Wow, would not have expected that from you, very astute, hmmm.

im just pissed I worked so hard for so many years just to be an unpaid discloser when not enough people care.

[Hawkeye10]

it actually seems like the lid is being blown off deep state shenanigans.

We are finding out lots of things that should have never happened and that we should have been informed about years ago...Better late than never I suppose but America is deeply corrupt and broken...I am constantly finding out that it is worse than I thought.

No, he was not. Tarrio was a police informant... A snitch. He worked for the police, not an intelligence agency. He is a criminal, that when faced with prison time, turned in all his friends.

And then he started a new criminal organization.

man, trump has just been trying to save us from china, and the great reset.

or he's just Goldberg. but regardless of whether trump is controlled, we still need opposition.

 

[Tranquillus in Exile]

So what do you think would have happened if trump one?

Then Trump would have continued as President without being constitutionally elected. What would that have made America?

they were protesting what they thought was a stolen election

Indeed - that's what Trump told them and it fit right in with their conspiracy theories.

granted you had a small cadre of idiots rifling through papers

And hollering "Hang Pence!" and hunting for lawmakers. Any ideas what might have happened if they had found any?

WASHINGTON – Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters.

In the Miami hearing, a federal prosecutor, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and Tarrio’s own lawyer described his undercover work and said he had helped authorities prosecute more than a dozen people in various cases involving drugs, gambling and human smuggling.

Tarrio, in an interview with Reuters Tuesday, denied working undercover or cooperating in cases against others. “I don’t know any of this,” he said, when asked about the transcript. “I don’t recall any of this.”

Law-enforcement officials and the court transcript contradict Tarrio’s denial. In a statement to Reuters, the former federal prosecutor in Tarrio’s case, Vanessa Singh Johannes, confirmed that “he cooperated with local and federal law enforcement, to aid in the prosecution of those running other, separate criminal enterprises, ranging from running marijuana grow houses in Miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes.”

Tarrio, 36, is a high-profile figure who organizes and leads the right-wing Proud Boys in their confrontations with those they believe to be Antifa, short for “anti-fascism,” an amorphous and often violent leftist movement. The Proud Boys were involved in the deadly insurrection at the Capitol January 6.

The records uncovered by Reuters are startling because they show that a leader of a far-right group now under intense scrutiny by law enforcement was previously an active collaborator with criminal investigators.

Washington police arrested Tarrio in early January when he arrived in the city two days before the Capitol Hill riot. He was charged with possessing two high-capacity rifle magazines, and burning a Black Lives Matter banner during a December demonstration by supporters of former President Donald Trump. The D.C. Superior Court ordered him to leave the city pending a court date in June.

Though Tarrio did not take part in the Capitol insurrection, at least five Proud Boys members have been charged in the riot. The FBI previously said Tarrio’s earlier arrest was an effort to preempt the events of January 6.

Readers should be reminded that helping law enforcement in a traditional patriotic government is a GOOD thing in the eyes of law abiding citizens.

Those who think otherwise label themselves as outlaws and the kind of people we need to discourage.

The news is here is the FBI doing police work. Stunning. I mean this isn't like a NASCAR driver thinking the cord on his garage door looked a like a noose or something. Clearly that's a situation calling for a national FBI mobilization.

Or a washed-up actor claiming he was beaten up by "Trump supporters"?

 

[Walt]

good cover story.

One does not become an informant to get out of criminal charges unless one is first a criminal, and second caught being a criminal.
