I don’t understand the story with this guy. Apparently he was arrested on January 4th, and had been an FBI informant for years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE
How is he now getting a 33 year long sentence if we was an informant?
Doesn’t seem like enough cooperation, recently enough, with enough significance to offer any insulation for insurrection 8 years later.
Jails and prisons are filled with snitches. He was petty snitch for a period of time. He’s not some indispensable asset.
Yeah I guess so. But the fact that the police arrested him 2 days before the insurrection, ostensibly to prevent the insurrection itself, and then it happened anyway and everyone seemed super unprepared for it, idk the whole thing seems a bit weird. It’s possible that he’s just outlived his usefulness, but I wonder what was said in those 2 days after his arrest but before the 6th.
I’m going to assume arrested by FBI.
After the election Trump changed the guy (secretary of defence?) in charge of the National Guard and making those decisions for security in DC. I guarantee it was so nothing was done for Jan 6.
Well there’s this damming document written and circulated by them:

He was probably telling the cops their plans because the cops were in on everything and helping the Proud Boys out.
I believe there is evidence that the Proud Boys were in contact with police in Portland, with some cops giving them a heads up to avoid crackdowns. This is hearsay (from me) because I got this info from a podcast and haven’t verified it, but I suspect it’s true. Lots of QAnon and other far-right iconography on police uniforms has been photographed.
