Proud Boys frontman Enrique Tarrio has been sentenced to 22 years in prison in connection with the January 6 events at the United States Capitol. Interestingly, Tarrio wasn’t even present in DC on the 6th, but this former high-profile federal informant is still being made the ultimate scapegoat.
Between 2012 and 2014, Tarrio was an informant for federal and local law enforcement; in a 2014 federal court hearing, Tarrio’s attorney said Tarrio had been a “prolific” co-operator who had assisted the government in the investigation and prosecution of more than a dozen people in cases involving anabolic steroids.
After being convicted, Enrique Tarrio spoke out, claiming the feds pushed him to lie about President Trump. Because? He says they were desperate to tie Trump to the events of January 6 so they could slap him with a seditious conspiracy charge. He recently spoke with reporter Emerald Robinson about what happened.

Tarrio tells @EmeraldRobinson the feds asked him to lie to impeach President Donald Trump.
Tarrio also sets the record straight by addressing the “whistleblower” rumors.

But what has intrigued a lot of people is a post and video X that investigative journalist Julie Kelly recently shared. Kelly, a key figure in revealing the true facts of that day, like Revolver, has also interviewed Enrique Tarrio on two different occasions. Interestingly, Tarrio spent that fateful day in a hotel room in Baltimore, far from the US Cap building. As the video shows, Enrique was eating Chick-fil-A and watching the events of the Capitol unfold on television. Tarrio seemed genuinely shocked that someone had successfully breached the Capitol building.
Here’s what Julie had to say in her X post:
I have spoken to Enrique Tarrio twice since he was sentenced on Tuesday. He is currently in the Gulag in DC awaiting transfer to a federal prison to begin serving his 22-year sentence.
Here is a short clip of this “terrorist” on the night of January 6th. Tarrio was in a hotel in Baltimore that day, not in DC. He watched the events on television. Here he looks surprised that someone entered the building.
Tarrio told me the DOJ tried to spin him after his arrest and become a cooperating government witness. Because?
“To try to tie the proud boys to Donald Trump.”
The DOJ claimed to have information connecting Tarrio to at least two people also connected to Trump.
Tarrio rejected the plea deal despite what he called “coercion” by the DOJ. (Tarrio and his co-defendants were denied liberty for months, almost 2 years for 4 defendants, awaiting trial).
Tarrio said the DOJ told the defense team there was “no chance the government would win in any other jurisdiction.” The jury, he said, “hated us.” (At least 8 jurors admitted during jury selection that they had attended left-wing demonstrations in recent years. None had attended conservative-leaning protests.)
However, Tarrio said it was “not fair to put jurors in that position.”
(Recall that Judge Tim Kelly denied motions to change venue numerous times.)
Tarrio said prosecutors disclosed that the “domestic terrorism policy depends” on the DOJ’s prosecution and conviction/plea of the Proud Boys. It was clear during the negotiations, Tarrio said, “they were planning to do more of this in the future.”
The next step for Tarrio and his co-defendants is to appeal, a process that could take years. He also hopes Trump will be elected not for an automatic pardon, but because he “looks at our case.”
“No doubt Trump will come to the same conclusion. This justice was not served.”

Tarrio insists that federal authorities intend to escalate this kind of “war” moving forward. For many, believing him is not an exaggeration. There is already widespread suspicion that the feds are pulling the strings behind the “white nationalist” group called the “Patriot Front.” This group has a knack for popping up in unexpected places, always at times that conveniently reinforce the regime’s “white supremacy” narrative.
In fact, there are a lot of these over-the-top theater groups popping up all over the place.

It is now known that both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were fully staffed with confidential informants and undercover agents. The purpose of this infiltration is, of course, to make any organic and peaceful organization by the citizens concerned impossible. Be alert.
