As the FBI continues to try to roundup participants in the January 6th Capitol Hill demonstrations and protests --- deep penetration by a major informant is revealed

REUTERS EXCLUSIVE: 
"Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was a ‘prolific’ informer for law enforcement"

 
Records uncovered by the Reuters News Agency show that Enrique Tarrio, a leader of the far-right group Proud Boys, now under intense scrutiny by law enforcement was previously an active collaborator with criminal investigators. 

The real story here is what is between the lines and behind the scenes  ---   was this former "informer" now performing as an "agent provocateur" for a huge intra-governmental agency plot for demonstrators to storm the Capitol on January 6th ?????

All of the following information has been vetted by Reuters and most of it is a matter of public record:

According to a report by Arom Roston at Reuters,  the leader of the alt-righ Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, has a well-documented past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for government investigators after he had been arrested in 2012. That is all according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters.  Tarrio's under cover work resulted in convictions adding up well into double digits over the years.

Washington police arrested Tarrio in early January when he arrived in the city two days before the Capitol Hill demonstrations. At that time of that arrest, he was charged with possessing two high-capacity rifle magazines, and burning a BLM banner during a  demonstration by supporters of former President Donald Trump in December, 2020. Tarrio was them released by the court and ordered to leave Washington, D.C., pending a later court appearance in June.

Although Mr. Tarrio did not take part in the demonstrations in  or around the Capitol on January 6th, at least five members of his alt-right Proud Boys have been charged in connection to the events of January 6th.  Prior to these disclosures by Reuters, the FBI had announced that Enrique Tarrio's earlier arrest in the nation's capital days before the Capitol Hill events of January 6th was part of an effort to preempt those events  (Perhaps the real reason was to protect one of their assets, keep him out of harm's way, and most important, insulate themselves from any obvious connections to the upcoming disturbances).

According to Reuters, late in 2020, as Trump supporters challenged the President's loss in specific states and overall often with demonstrations that became violent, Enrique Tarrio stood out for his swagger as he led crowds of mostly white Proud Boys in a series of confrontations and street brawls in Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and elsewhere.
Enrique Tarrio is mostly based in Miami, Florida, and he became the national chairman of the Proud Boys in 2018.  In November and December,  2020,Tarrio led the Proud Boys through the streets of  Washington, D.C., after Trump's election loss. Video taken on December 11th showed Mr. Tarrio talking through a bullhorn in front of a large crowd, saying, "To the parasites both in Congress, and in that stolen White House," he said. "You want a war, you got one!" The crowd enthusiastically agreed. The next day Tarrio burned the BLM banner.

A former prosecutor said that she was surprised that the defendant, whom she prosecuted for fraud and other similar complaints had become a key player in a violent movement seeking to halt the certification of President Joe Biden. "I knew that he was a fraudster – but had no reason to know that he was also a domestic terrorist," she said.

WHY ARE THE FEDS AND  REUTERS "BURNING" TARRIO AT THIS TIME  ?????

This is very convoluted and will take more than one article in Reuters to untangle.....
