At least one Proud Boys member on trial for the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol had a previously-concealed FBI informant set to appear as a witness in their case, a defense attorney said Wednesday.
Former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio and members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola are all on federal trial after being accused in a June 2022 indictment of conspiring “to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force.” The government revealed Wednesday that a witness scheduled to appear in the defense case Thursday had been an FBI confidential human source from April 2021 to at least January 2023, Rehl’s lawyer Carmen Hernandez said in a court filing obtained by American Greatness’ Julie Kelly.

BREAKING NEWS: Just when you think DOJ can't get any dirtier--
New motion just filed by defense in Proud Boys trial accusing DOJ of using an FBI informant to spy on and infiltrate the defense team
**************************************************
The source had been in electronic contact with one or more of the defense’s counsel and at least one defendant over that period, participated in prayer meetings with one or more defendant’s family members, and talked with one of the defendant’s family members about replacing one of the defense counsel, the filing alleges. Rehl and his fellow defendants subsequently started preparing a motion to dismiss their indictment or hold an evidentiary hearing.
The filing demanded the release of all FBI interview reports and Justice Department memos about recording and reporting on the defense team. Court filings previously suggested that the FBI had up to eight informants within the Proud Boys in the months surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, The New York Times reported. The FBI did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Real gem dandies at the DOJ
Well, now: It appears that all the indoctrination at Stanford et al is paying dividends for those seeking to rewrite the US Constitution.
We had a good run.
Nothing surprises me anymore...
Yes, the “top” universities are churning out these corrupt, lawless “lawyers”.
“Yes, the “top” universities are churning out these corrupt, lawless “lawyers”.
The top law schools have been teaching the “living” Constitution for 50 years.
Over the last three decades undergraduate schools have been turning out narcissistic social justice activists like Barack and Michelle Obama. The federal bureaucracy, most institutions and major corporations are filled with them.
These people are not going to change as they age.
The Federal Bureau of Instigation.
Bingo.
Never let a crisis go to waste. If you don’t have a crisis, then just create one.
The Stasi, KGB and Gestapo all used these tactics. The Justice Dept has learned well as it destroys formerly great American institutions.
Things won’t change until the prisoner swap of J6 Patriots for the members of Congress on the J6 Committee and their supporting RINOs, and the heads of the DOJ and FBI.
Epps!!! Paging Mr Ray Epps! Time for jury duty....
Bet the old KGB agents remember the good old days.
If you ever wondered how life was in East Germany - I guess you don’t have to wonder anymore.
