Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, and four other members of the far-right group were indicted on Monday for seditious conspiracy in connection with the storming of the Capitol last January, the most serious crime to be charged in the Justice Department’s sprawling investigation of the assault.
The sedition charges against Mr. Tarrio and his co-defendants — Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola — came in an amended indictment that was unsealed in Federal District Court in Washington. The men had already been charged in an earlier indictment filed in March with conspiring to obstruct the certification of the 2020 presidential election, which took place during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
It was not immediately clear what evidence led to the new charges against the members of the Proud Boys, who were central in the effort to storm the Capitol and help forestall President Donald J. Trump’s defeat.

We are not taking back the government.
This play is to make sure of that.
Not if they are tried in DC
Take it to the bank.
Ridiculous. This is theater by the Rats. Effectively, with respect to carrying out a seditious act, the folks in DC that day were impotent. To my knowledge, none were armed. The folks currently running our government are certainly a distasteful, overly-dramatic lot. They discredit themselves with this kind of behavior.
Then it is going to get really ugly.
How is that different from burning the American flag in a protest by ANTIFA in Portland?
The timing is for the trials to be in the fall, coincidentally enough that’s when the next election is.
‘’ The Proud Boys will also be featured when the House committee investigating Jan. 6 holds its initial public hearing Thursday night.
The committee intends to present live testimony from Nick Quested, a documentary film maker who was embedded with the group during the riot, and from Caroline Edwards, a Capitol Police officer who was injured in an early assault that day said to have been triggered by the Proud Boys.’’
Exactly. This is another rung up the ladder to get Donald Trump.
Must be one of those 50,000 sealed indictments that Q was talking about. Trust the 5D chess plan.
Wasnt the head of the Proud Boys a black guy that turned out to be a stooge for the FBI?
Jan.6, gun control, racism, and abortion are the only issues democrats have and they’re making a huge stink out of each one.
He’s not the first to be charged with this.
Several of them have plead guilty already:
Political persecution!
Donald Trump really set 'em of when he said: "The party's over. I'm going to clean up Washington."
Writing works of total fiction can take a long time.
If they don’t find a way to move the venue they are cooked.
Aaron Burr rolling in laughter over this.
Deep State ain’t
going Quietly
If at all.
Post 3
DC juries are one sided.
It was not immediately clear what evidence led to the new charges against the members of the Proud Boys...

No evidence. The Fall midterm election is coming up and the Dems need a distraction. The FBI / DOJ provides one.
