MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, COLLEEN LONG and MICHAEL BALSAMO Tue, March 8, 2022, 6:49 PM·4 min read WASHINGTON (AP) — A leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was arrested Tuesday on a conspiracy charge for his suspected role in a coordinated attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory.
Henry “Enrique” Tarrio wasn’t there when the riot erupted on Jan. 6, 2021. Police had arrested Tarrio in Washington two days before the riot and charged him with vandalizing a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. The day before the Capitol was attacked, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
But Tarrio didn't leave town as he should have, the indictment said. Instead, he met with Oath Keepers founder and leader Elmer “Stewart” Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage for approximately 30 minutes.
“During this encounter, a participant referenced the Capitol,” the indictment says.
The indictment is a further proof of how far the Justice Department is going to prosecute the leaders of extremist groups whose members are suspected to have planned and attacked the U.S. Capitol, even if they weren’t in attendance themselves. The latest conspiracy charge zeroes in on organized groups that plotted in advance — as federal prosecutors distinguish them from hundreds of other supporters of then-President Donald Trump who were at the scene that day and were charged.
The new riot-related charges are among the most serious filed so far, but they aren’t the first of their kind. Eleven members or associates of the antigovernment Oath Keepers militia group, including Rhodes, have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the Capitol attack.

So they finally identified the victim they need most!
Yahoo is maintaining it’s reputation.
The very first line of the piece is all you need to know.
I’m writing an article now, “Six Degrees of an ‘Insurrection.’” Hope it makes American Thinker.
Let’s see how many scare words we can string together...

It’s a litany of panic triggers for the average LBGTQWXYZ+5Hike person
“During this encounter, an FBIparticipantinformant referenced the Capitol,” the indictment says.
how does that = a conspiracy?
Why isn’t Ray Epps charged for the same crimes? We got him on VIDEO doing exactly what they’re charging this guy of doing.
It’s because Ray was working for the feds when he was doing it, that’s why.
Make no mistake about it. The marxist democrats want us dead.
Why don’t the maggots in the so called “media” NEVER write about “FAR LEFT EXTREMIST GROUPS”? Because they’re all commies, that’s why.
It’s those darn Nazis again.
They’re everywhere these days. In the Ukrainian government, the Canadian trucker convoys, and everywhere in the U.S., except for the upper east, and west coasts.
Swastikas are more ubiquitous than red baseball caps.
The seditious conspiracy charges here are an interesting precedent for charges against Antifa and BLM under a different administration.
Life is completer in a Chevy
fixed it
They'll be arresting people 20 years from now with charges on the Fedsurrection.
Looks like we can keep arresting them years after the fact, too...
I will not forget this. Ever.
Interesting how the author failed to mention that Black Lives Matter is a far-left Maoist group and that thing the guy “ vandalized” was itself vandalism.
RIOT??? What riot?
“During this encounter, a participant referenced the Capitol,”
how does that = a conspiracy?
~~~~~~~
Easy. If the “participant” was an FBI agent, then it could be an FBI conspiracy.
Oh, that’s not what you meant? ;-)
