"Something very revealing and also disturbing has surfaced in the trial of the Proud Boys and specifically of Enrique tarrio, who is the leader of the Proud Boys. By the way, they are standing trial in D.C. under charges of seditious conspiracy. Now during the government's case, this was an assistant attorney general Conor McGregor. And he's interviewing he's not interviewing he is he is he has special agent Peter dubrovsky of the FBI on the stand. And they're talking about a document that is called the 1776 returns. So in other words, 1776 returns alluding to the fact that we're back at the moment of the American Revolution. And this is a document that supposedly lays out a plan for the takeover of the capital. If you look at this document 1776 returns, it talks about occupying 8 key buildings in D.C. on January 6th, 2021. And this document, according to the government, is a document that somehow is associated with the Proud Boys. It was a document that was retrieved from Enrique tarrio and the government goes, hey, look, clear. These guys were specifically plotting to seize 8 buildings and take them over so if you're looking for evidence that there was a seditious conspiracy to take over the government, here it is. Now, here's the problem. This document appears to be a planted document.

Prosecutors Deny DOJ Planted Evidence on Enrique Tarrio

And the motion is a kind of a bombshell, because here's what here's what the defense is saying. The defense is saying, first of all, that this document was not composed by tarrio. It was sent to him on telegram, the social media platform by his girlfriend. Or a girl that he knew, a woman named Erica Flores, but guess who composed the document. Somebody associated with the U.S. government. In other words, the plot did not come from the Proud Boys. It came from a plant or agent or somebody with deep government connections.

"This is Bloomberg law with June Grasso from Bloomberg radio. Stand back and stand by. You may remember that line from former president Donald Trump during the presidential debates in 2020. Well, it's now part of the prosecution's sedition case against Proud Boys leader Enrique tarrio and four other members of the far right group accused of leading the attack on the capitol on January 6th. Prosecutors say the Proud Boys were part of every critical breach on the day of the attack from knocking down the first street barricades to smashing a window with a stolen police shield, letting the rioters into the building. And they're giving the jury plenty of visuals of the attack, showing videos shot by documentary filmmaker Nick quest Ed, who also testified at the January 6th committee hearings. For anyone that really didn't think that there was extreme violence in that day, I filmed it, I saw it. I was subject to it. The violence was real and it was exceptionally powerful. Defense attorneys argue that the defendants are being made scapegoats, and that evidence will show there was no plan by them to stop the transfer of power. Joining me is former federal prosecutor Jimmy garu, a professor at Notre-Dame law school. Jimmy tell us about the Proud Boys who are they. The Proud Boys were formed in 2016 by vice media cofounder Gavin mcinnes, who's a Canadian. The group is described as the far right neo fascist group that engages in political violence. While the actual membership number of members of the group is unknown, it's believed to be in the thousands and the group has, as many as 44 active chapters across the country. And it has a history of engaging in political violence. The first kind of prominent appearance of the Proud Boys on the national stage was the summer of 2017 during the unite the right rally in Charlottesville. One of the organizers of the event was a member of the Proud Boys. And then in June 2018, the Proud Boys attended the freedom and courage rally in Portland, Oregon, where they engaged in violent clashes with members of the Black Lives Matter group in protesters. And then of course they were involved in the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol building. The attorney for Enrique tarrio said they're basically a drinking club. The Proud Boys aren't a sexist racist homophobic organization. Well, I think there's at least two countries who would beg to differ and one of those is Canada and the other is a New Zealand and the governments of both of those countries have designated the Proud Boys as a terrorist organization. And that designation carries substantial financial and economic consequences. The police can seize the property of the Proud Boys in their country and banks can seize their assets and they can be denied entry into the country. And then additionally, the southern poverty law center has designated them as a hate group. So they have a reputation well beyond simply being a good old boys club. The most serious charge of course is seditious conspiracy, which carries a 20 year sentence. What does the prosecution have to prove there? A couple of points in a one, it's been estimated that as many as 100 members of the Proud Boys were in Washington D.C. on January 6th and participated either in planning, directing or executing the attack on the U.S. capitol. So it's the agreement. It's the planning. It's a conspiracy. And the conspiracy charge does not require that each member of the conspiracy himself participated in acts of violence. It's enough if a member of the conspiracy, any member of the conspiracy, participated in acts of violence. Again, all the members of conspiracy agreed and they agreed to delay to prevent the counting of the electoral votes and they did that with the use of force or violence. And so again, any member of the conspiracy could have participated in the assault on the capitol using force, but it's not necessary that every member of the conspiracy participated in by using force in the attack on the capitol. I think it's probably worth highlighting that one of the defendants is Dominic pezoa and we've seen literally multiple pictures of him using the stolen police ride shield and using it to break a window into the capitol and apparently that was the first entry points where the rioters and entered into the capitol building following the solas lead. Federal prosecutors just won a conviction of four of the oath keepers on seditious conspiracy charges on Monday is the prosecution's plan here sort of similar. And it seems to me that the prosecution is following the same kind of blueprint of prosecution that they followed in the oath keepers trial. And so what we're going to see in terms of evidence being presented to the jury is going to be statements made by the various 5 members of the Proud Boys that are being prosecuted, statements that they made in text messages and other social media messages that demonstrated their intent to attack the capitol building to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. So they're going to be prosecuted based on their own words and that was the case with the oath keepers. And then there's also some members of the Proud Boys previously convicted and better to guilty plea. They agreed to cooperate with the government and they're going to testify at trial against the members of the Proud Boys. And we also saw that in the oath keepers prosecution. So that's going to be the critical evidence. It's going to be their own words used against him. It's going to be members of the Proud Boys that were on the inside that are going to testify as to what these 5 defendants intended and what they did with respect to the seditious conspiracy and then lastly is going to be photos of them at the scene, breaking into the building, knocking down police barriers, perhaps even assaulting police officers. So I think that's going to be the crux of the prosecution's case. Why do you think the judge allowed the prosecution to play that clip of former president Trump saying Proud Boys stand back and stand by? Well, it goes to the intent. What was the intent and the purpose of the conspiracy? And one could argue that this statement and this apparent relationship or connection between former president Trump and the Proud Boys demonstrates that the Proud Boys were acting on behalf of president Trump and that they were again seeking to keep them in power. And seeking to prevent the peaceful transfer of power to president elect Biden. And again, that goes to the heart and the purpose and the intent of the conspiracy. So I think this is evidence of that intent and that relationship between former president Trump and the Proud Boys. Some of the defense attorneys, including the attorney for tarrio, are trying to blame Trump, saying Trump unleashed the mob that breached the capitol. You know, I don't know that it's much of a defense, and I don't think that the defense statements are inconsistent with the prosecution's theory. So it could very well be that former president Trump and lease this violent mob to attack the capitol, but it could equally be the case that in doing so, the members of the Proud Boys participated in that assault and helped organize and plan that assault, which is the basis of the seditious conspiracy charge. Before the riot, the FBI had placed informants in the Proud Boys, and now some of those informants are being called as witnesses by the defense who say they were privy to the proud boy chats and even marched alongside them. Is that a

"Thing. They almost step back once the crowd has been excited and the crowd moves through. And they kind of do the same thing again and again. By constantly moving inciting the crowd to violence and then moving to another location. Do you think the Proud Boys were trying to become more invisible? I mean, remember like they're not wearing their colors. So they're not easily identified. Once the police lines are breached, they often move away and go to another location. So it's kind of like wiping away their fingerprints. So look, if you talk to the Proud Boys lawyers, they will adamantly deny that there was a pre planned conspiracy to store in the building to do any of this stuff. They'll say there's really no smoking gun evidence. There's no text from tarrio to Biggs or from tarrio to others or that says, here's the plan, right? ABC. That said, the visual evidence is what it is. And you can see them using these tactics. Again, and again that day. And whether it was purposeful or whether they were just making it up in the minute, you are right in that, what they are doing on the ground is pushing other people forward, allowing the chaos and violence to accelerate, and then they themselves recede and move on. Let's take a short break here. If you're just joining us, my guest is Alan foyer who's been reporting on the Justice Department investigation into attempts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as reporting extensively on the Proud Boys.

So now that 5 members of the Proud Boys, including the leader Enrique tarrio, are charged with seditious conspiracy. What are the Proud Boys up to? So in the immediate aftermath of January 6th, as the Justice Department was rounding up members across the country. They're now almost 50 members of the Proud Boys have been charged that we know of publicly. The group went into a tailspin of panic and paranoia. Everybody thought that the other guy was working with the FBI and that there was this kind of like snitch mania went through the Proud Boys. What they ultimately ended up doing was sort of taking a step back from marquee big picture public rallies. The stuff that they had been doing essentially since the beginning of the Trump administration. And they started to hone in on local issues..

Opening Arguments
"enrique tarrio" Discussed on Opening Arguments
"No. I really did think I won by 12 million votes and that like the guy who runs the pillow empire secretly decoded the plan to send the ballots to Venezuela to get marked by antifa. And that's a real problem because if you didn't have corrupt intent, if you didn't corruptly intend to interfere with the government proceeding, the fact we all know he interfered with the government proceeding. It is proving that corrupt intent that is going to deter a prosecutor from bringing charges and is going to be a challenge for the primary challenge at trial. And so I am beyond heartened that the first thing, at least Cheney knows this too. And it's hard to explain to somebody who's not on opening arguments listener. Because if you just talk into an average person, the average person is going to be like, well, did he do the thing? And we all know he did the thing, and that's why he kind of has this sherrod mentality about it of like, well, yeah, we all know he sort of did the thing. But the question is, did he do the thing knowing that he lost? Did he do it? By the way, already all know. It's just, do we have enough depositions that might suggest he knew? Yes, that's exactly right. And so hearing number two is supposed to be about proving that the president knew that Donald Trump knew that he had lost and that he knew that the plans that contingencies he was putting into place were not legal. We're not backed even by the papers thin veneer of legitimacy. It was all outcome determinative to keep him in office. And again, we've talked about this in connection with the eastman docs. We've talked about the breadcrumbs that are left. When eastman says, well, you know, now that we've already done some light crab egg, how about some more climbing? Okay, if that document exists, probably more documents exist. I will tell you, and I don't know how anybody can say, oh, there was nothing new here when the first bit of testimony out of Liz Cheney's mouth is, here's Bill Barr. Telling the president saying, I told the president over and over again that claims of election fraud were bullshit. Then having her say we have not seen this deposition testimony yet. This was foreshadowing that his supporters in the room will testify that when Donald Trump heard the crowd chanting hang Mike Pence, Donald Trump's response was maybe our supporters have the right idea maybe Mike Pence deserves it. Imagine being the Republican Party in going up. Nothing new here. The president wanted the vice president killed. Yeah, oh, you didn't know that? We knew that. No, I didn't know that. Yeah, true. So that kind of gets to this idea of how much was new on the Thursday hearing versus how much was finally piecing it together for a larger audience. I have to type, you know, I sort of tweeted out not entirely jokingly. Okay, Liz Cheney is a show listener. A lot of what the Thursday hearing did seemed old news to OA listeners because of the work that you and I have done piecing together, not just pleadings, but the documents attached to those pleadings in connection with the eastman case, right? Because that's been our soul connection to the January 6th committee, which otherwise has not leaked nothing they've done has come out. And so one of the things that we were able to do is look at, okay, what's the minimum amount of information they put out in order to compel the production of more documents in connection with one of the chief collaborators. And as you start to look at it, you're like, oh, okay. This is what they're looking at. So let me give you a perfect example. You and I have read the Enrique tarrio Proud Boys indictment. So we know and we have talked about on this show. The Proud Boys and the oath keepers and their secret strike team 7 and their GI Joe code names and, you know, we knew that they were the militarized arm of the January 6th insurrection. We knew that they had a secret slack channel that planned things out in advance. We knew that at some level they were coordinated up through the president, probably through Roger Stone. We still don't entirely know. All of this is available if you've been reading the indictments in reading the documents, which 0.01% of the public has done. Nobody has. But even I didn't know what was put together incredibly effectively on video, which was the Proud Boys showed up and left the ellipse before Donald Trump began speaking on January 6th, went down to the capitol in advance, cleared barricades and cased the area. Interesting. That's a pretty damning piece of information to have. Is it? Devil's advocate. I know and I mean this because when we are talking criminal charges, somebody will be arguing for Trump. And they might say, well, that's evidence that Trump wasn't in charge of this wasn't the one responsible for this happening. They did this before he even made the speech where he allegedly might have goaded the crowd into doing this. So doesn't that cut the other way..

Glenn Kirschner on the Importance of the Proud Boys Conspiracy Charge
"Let's just say Joyce white Vance also said it has proven very difficult to convince a jury to convict, that makes important to remember that this very conservative Justice Department has decided it has sufficient evidence now on two militia groups. That's the start of the really big deal, right? Seditious conspiracy charges against Proud Boys and the oath keepers, right? Because that's very hard to prove. That was a big indictment to drop and it actually I think tells us something about the likely coordination between the Department of Justice and the J 6 committee. And you know, I take a slightly different view than my good friend Joyce Vance. I don't think it's all that hard to convince juries to do the right thing once you provide them with common sense, evidence that a crime has been committed and we can prove corrupt intent by the defendant. We've got that in bucket loads. But this seditious conspiracy indictment against the Proud Boys, it is really interesting for a couple of reasons. I was I was so interested in it because it came down one day. I believe day before yesterday was announced by the Department of Justice, big deal charges, seditious conspiracy for Enrique tarrio and four of his underlings. And the very next day, Steph, the J 6 committee announced we will be opening Thursdays hearings by focusing on the seditious conspiracy of the Proud Boys. That's not a coincidence step. That reinforces my belief, which I think you and I have talked about, that the team of former federal prosecutors who are investigating this these crimes for the J 6 committee are coordinating with the team of federal prosecutors at the Department of Justice who are investigating it criminally. And this is yet another indication of that. That was not a coincidence that we got Proud Boys seditious conspiracy and the very next day J 6 a by the way. That's how we're opening day after tomorrow.

"You. At least Hispanics are like, what? What my ranch? What? My house. What? So what you really have is these, let's call them Ivy League dancers. Who are running the progressives who are shaping the whole approach of the Democratic Party and they're losing Hispanics and droves. And so they come up with their solution to it. The rise of the white nationalist Hispanics and I'm like, wow, I'd like to meet some of these white nationalist panics. First of all, where are they? I mean, our Hispanics, these days, like acceptable in the Ku Klux Klan are like the skinheads recruiting his family. Let's get some Hispanics. We need boys panics. Yeah, so obviously this whole thing is laughable, but when you scream through the article, you basically find that the whole article is built on two examples. Nick Fuentes. So Nick Fuentes apparently is half Mexican American. One of his parents is Mexican American and of course Nick's Fuentes is I would call him, I mean, this guy to me is an exhibitionist. I'm not even sure he believes half the stuff he says, he's obviously a Bader, and he's obviously playing a game for attention. But okay, so he's the he's the first white nationalist Hispanic. And the other is the Cuban American Enrique tarrio, the guy who's head of the Proud Boys, but of course the presumption there is that the Proud Boys is a racist organization when the Proud Boys as on presence signifies. No, it's not a racist organization, it's got a whole different thing. We don't even need to get into right now, but the point I'm trying to make is that this hardly proves that of the millions of Hispanics. The millions who are basically now saying, you know, we're not really at home in the Democratic Party, we might have habitually thought we were, but we're really not. We don't like these people. We don't like how they talk. We don't like how they treat us. Quite frankly, we don't want to go the way of the blacks. We don't want the government dependency. We don't want broken families. We don't want the kind of misery that then brings in an army of social workers to look after us. Sorry, we're not on board. And so since the Hispanics are checking out the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party figures, let's just turn around and call them names..

"And schedule your free estimate today It's 9 ten now the latest developments in the investigation into last year's capitol riot CBS News congressional correspondent Scott mcfarlane joined me and Dimitri earlier to talk about the cases and the emergence of a new top level defendant Enrique tarrio a leader of the Proud Boys organization is going to be back in court Tuesday morning at the federal courthouse in Miami He's charged with conspiracy Now you'll recall he was arrested here in D.C. December 2020 for an unrelated case and was actually in custody on January 6th 2021 but the prosecutors have said he was a planner He was a conspirator He was part of the organizing of the capitol riot because of his prominence in the Proud Boys organization and because of the distinctive prominence of the Proud Boys in January 6th Enrique tarrio is now a high level defendant if not the high level defendant and among the 750 people charged his is the case to watch Talk about this week's major legal victory for the Justice Department Enormous victory The first trial from the U.S. capitol riot wrapped up this week the defendant's name was a guy ref it He was charged with bringing the gun to the capitol that day and accused of threatening his kids if they turned him in He stood trial his own son testified against him He did not mount his own defense and in less than four hours a D.C. jury convicted guy refit That might include the lunch break that they had that day It is a big piece of leverage for prosecutors as they face these hundreds more defendants to come but it's also an indication of how a D.C. jury views the videos the text messages The things that are a component of so many of these prosecutions when they finally face a defendant when they see a defendant in the courtroom We don't have much time left Scott but a new honor expected at the capitol for January 6th police heroes Congress is just ordered a plaque be erected on the west front of the capitol naming every officer who helped respond and save to capital that day It will have to happen within a year and the west front is important That was the site of the most vicious fighting That is CBS News congressional correspondent Scott mcfarlane Coming up here on WTO lots of college basketball to talk about and a late night for the caps and wizards sports with Frank just a hit 9 13 We made USAA insurance for veterans like Liz and Mike and army family who's always at the ready Someone lists ultrasound show twins Hold on two babies They didn't.

"Good point and I think it's one of the reasons why I talked before about lumping people together I think it's really important not to lump people together I think one of the challenges of talking about groups like the Proud Boys and other groups is that there's often a very interesting mix of people with a lot of different ideas about a lot of different subjects And I do think that boiling things down is frankly bad practice When you try to explain these things to folks which is why I try to give all the different arguments made about the Proud Boys because I think there are different things people for example the Canadian government has branded them a terrorist group at one point Groups that monitor and track hate groups some of those organizations view them as a hate group But I think you do have to be very careful because there are absolutely people of color in that organization including Enrique tarrio and I think if you just try to say this is a white supremacist group you're actually missing a lot of what's going on around them And inside the group Morty come one 8 6 6 5 O Jimbo an 866-505-4626 with Washington Post reporter delvin Barrett We're looking at the conspiracy charge against former proud boy leader Enrique tarrio and back in a moment I'm getting vaccinated with Prevnar 20 So am I Because I'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia I'm asking about Prevnar 20 because there's a.
