High-Ranking Proud Boy Is Now Snitching for the Feds

[kpete]

Federal prosecutors appear to have made their biggest breakthrough yet in their sprawling investigation into the violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A high-ranking Proud Boy has flipped, agreeing to testify in any and all cases where his testimony might be “deemed relevant by the government.”

It’s the latest example of the government strengthening its case against the far-right street-fighting gang that’s become a national household name since its leaders and dozens of members have been charged in relation to the Capitol riot.

“Donohoe’s guilty plea is a significant development in the case against the Proud Boys defendants,” said Barbara McQuade, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017. “His agreement to cooperate means that any trial against other Proud Boys members will include his testimony, which will be important evidence for the prosecution.”

His cooperation could also “signal his ability to provide information up the chain to organizers and leaders who planned the attack,” said McQuade, specifically whether Proud Boy leaders had any communication with former President Donald Trump’s inner circle in the run-up to Jan 6.

Self-interest is in peril. The gang's self-interest motivation will vanish under the motivation of personal self-interest.

5. Please do not refer to him as a snitcher.

He might just be a lapsed American.

These "trumpling's" used to be our neighbors.

"They know not what they do."

They just want more than they have, and want to believe that if they are angry enough things will get better for them.

That young cop who got repeatedly smashed in the doorway might
think the asshats knew exactly what they were doing.
Of course, he could be mistaken, and the sightseers were accidently
pushing on a door marked pull.
