Members of the Proud Boys are reportedly telling former President Donald Trump to stand back and stand by for a subpoena.

According to New York Times reported Alan Feuer, members of the Proud Boys who have been accused by the government of engaging in a seditious conspiracy are saying they "intend to subpoena Donald Trump as a witness at the trial."

Messages: Officer often fed information to Proud Boys leader

MICHAEL KUNZELMAN
Wed, February 15, 2023 at 10:59 PM GMT+1

WASHINGTON (AP) — A police officer frequently provided Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio with internal information about law enforcement operations in the weeks before other members of his far-right extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol, according to messages shown Wednesday at the trial of Tarrio and four associates.

A federal prosecutor showed jurors a string of messages that Metropolitan Police Lt. Shane Lamond and Tarrio privately exchanged in the run-up to a mob's attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Lamond, an intelligence officer for the city’s police department, was responsible for monitoring groups like the Proud Boys when they came to Washington for protests.

Less than three weeks before the Jan. 6 riot, Lamond warned Tarrio that the FBI and U.S. Secret Service were “all spun up” over talk on an Infowars internet show that the Proud Boys planned to dress up as supporters of President Joe Biden on the Democrat's inauguration day.

Justice Department prosecutor Conor Mulroe asked a government witness, FBI Special Agent Peter Dubrowski, how common it is for law enforcement to disclose internal information in that fashion.

“I've never heard of it,” Dubrowski said.

Tarrio was arrested in Washington two days before the Capitol attack and charged with burning a Black Lives Matter banner taken from a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. He was released from jail before the riot and wasn’t in Washington on Jan. 6.

In a message to Tarrio on Dec. 25, 2020, Lamond said Metropolitan Police Department investigators had asked him to identify Tarrio from a photograph. He warned Tarrio that police may be seeking a warrant for his arrest.

Later, on the day of his arrest, Tarrio posted a message to other Proud Boys leaders that said, “The warrant was just signed.”

Before the trial started in January, Tarrio's attorneys said Lamond's testimony would be crucial for his defense, supporting Tarrio’s claims that he was looking to avoid violence. Mulroe said Lamond has asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

Tarrio’s attorneys have accused prosecutors of bullying Lamond into keeping quiet by warning the officer he could be charged with obstructing the investigation into Tarrio, a Miami resident who was national chairman of the Proud Boys. Prosecutors deny that claim.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Kelly makes clear that Proud Boy Jeremy BERTINO is expected to take the stand on Tuesday. (Would have been today but a sick juror has led to postponement of trial until after the long weekend.)

It works beautifully if the object is to delay and not for any real legal purpose.

DOJ: "Well, you could just ask him to voluntarily testify. If he won't, you could always cooperate with us and we'll take care of you and won't abandon you like Trump is. Think about it, we're always ready to talk to cooperative witnesses."

For those who somehow missed it:

https://www.opb.org/article/2023/03/02/ ... n-charges/
More than a year after violently clashing with Portland anti-fascists in the summer of 2021, a judge found Proud Boy Tusitala “Tiny” Toese, 25, guilty on 10 counts in Multnomah County Circuit Court on Thursday.

a precious tourist to touristy places:
Toese first faced criminal charges for similar behavior in 2017, when he punched a counterprotester in the face, unprovoked. He pleaded guilty to harassment and was placed on probation. He was also charged with assault in 2018 but fled to American Samoa. Upon his return to Portland, he was placed on probation again, though he failed to comply with the terms of the probation.

You may recall from earlier in the trial that Dominic Pezzola's defense theory is that he picked this shield up off the ground and used it to smash in a window at the Capitol to escape police crowd control munitions.

There's also this picture of Dominic Pezzola posing with the riot shield.

BIGGS at 2:03 pm is seen on police bodycam footage lifting a section of metal barricade and handing it to others in the riot crowd. Several other members of the Proud Boys march are alongside him.

Here's the full sequence (with helpful highlighting from the government) of Pezzola wrestling a riot shield from an officer that he would later use to smash a Senate window and ignite the breach of the building. https://politico.com/news/2023/03/07/pr ... l-00085975

Here's aerial footage of the large Proud Boys group approaching the Capitol and passing a group of police officers. Nordean mentions something about "a plan" at the outset of the clip.

At the end, Chris Worrell shouts at officers to 'pick a side.'
