Proud Boys Charged with Sedition in Capitol Attack
NYT via MSN ^ | Jun 6, 2022 | Alan Feuer and Adam Goldman

Posted on 06/06/2022 2:16:14 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

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.

You can make book on it. It will happen by October at the latest in 2023. It could happen in the summer of 2022. They don’t want to do it too early. when they do indict and arrest him nothing will happen. Nothing happened when they overthrew a duly and legally elected President and filled the Washington, D.C. jails with people on trumped up charges. Except a woman was murdered and the murder was declared a brave hero.

Enrique Tarrio

Another white hispanic? I thought the Proud Boys were supposed to be a whites-only group. Just another lie in a string of lies from Fedzilla and their media.

Because telling us that would reveal what a sham it all is.

Man, I’d love to be charged with that and have my first PUBLIC disposition.

“Let’s define sedition.

Is it sedition for Hillary to pay for...
Is it sedition for Nancy Piglosi to call for violence in DC as she did?
Is it sedition...”

“Sedition is hard to prove.”

The (legal) process is the punishment. Forcing innocent people to spend tens of thousands of dollars on defence lawyers. And lawyers that work in DC on Federal cases are super expensive. This evil process bankrupted General Flynn.

DC = District of Criminals.

Regarding sedition, the very corrupt, federal legislative and executive branches are constitutionally obligated to not only guarantee each state a republican form of government, but also to make sure that the states don't abridge voting rights in any way, constitutionally enumerated duties that desperate congressional Democrats and RINOs chose to scandalously ignore on J6 imo.

H O W E V E R...

I know that I grossly underestimated the size of the swamp and Trump probably did too imo.

And although I wanted Trump to get back in office ASAP, Trump smartly temporarily became a private citizen again. I think that he recognized that he could do more to clean up the swamp as a private citizen than trying to do so encumbered by the constitutional division of powers of the three branches of government.

Insights welcome.

Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

The proud boys seem like a bunch of losers....like the KKK. Not many members.

Who are the Proud Boys?
The gang-like extremist group was founded in the lead-up to the Trump 2016 presidential victory. In a number of radio broadcasts, McInnes has advocated for Trump supporters to commit acts of violence against rivals and said members of the Proud Boys would do so.

“We will kill you, that’s the Proud Boys in a nutshell. We will kill you. We look nice. We seem soft. We have ‘boys’ in our name, but like Bill the Butcher and the Bowery Boys, we will assassinate you,” McInnes said in one of his radio appearances.

To join, recruits have to take an oath declaring they are “a proud Western chauvinist” and refuse to apologize for “creating the modern world.” After its founding, new members were also barred from masturbating more than once a month, according to the group’s bylaws.

No sedition charges yet for the ‘RAT bastards who tried to overthrow President Trump for five years yet though, huh? The worst “sedition” going on in this country is the crap coming out of the District of Corruption RAT Swamp. Those are the bastards that should be going to jail.

Most of the Flakes in the FIB these days never learned what the hell sedition is. They’re too stupid to look it up.
