Did anyone catch the story on TV about the Proud Boy who was talking to FBI against legal advice?

I heard something about it as I was on the way out of the house. I don't remember whether MSNBC or CNN, but I wish I'd been able to watch.

That sounds like he's cutting deal for himself and forgetting about the rest of his traitor buddies. brush Jul 2021 #2

It was the head guy, Stewart Rhodes, and he did a 3 hour interview with the FBI back in May, upon occasion of them seizing his cell phone as possible evidence.

As for what it all means or will result in, nobody really knows for sure yet.

He turned himself in to the FBI. Apparently he did not enter the Capitol that day.

When asked why he was in attendance at the conservative conference, Rhodes quickly became enraged and yelled, "f**k off." A female associate, identified as Marcia Strickler on her CPAC pass, also came within inches of this reporter, yelling various obscenities.
