Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was an FBI informant

 According to a report by the 'The Guardian' (January 27, 2021) "Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys extremist group, has a past as an informer for federal and local law enforcement, repeatedly working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters."

Forbes (January 27, 2021) stated: "Tarrio repeatedly worked undercover with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on cases involving drugs, human smuggling and gambling, his own lawyer, a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent all said during a 2014 court hearing, Reuters report. The right-wing leader allegedly turned informant after he was arrested in 2012 for fraud."

"Tarrio’s then lawyer Jeffrey Feiler told the 2014 court that his client was a “prolific” cooperator who helped in numerous investigations. At the same hearing, an FBI agent said Tarrio was a “key component” in local police investigations."

Anybody who is arrested and charged by the police, FBI, or other government agency is a potential informant. The best course of action is of course to make no statement to the police under any circumstance. Build a Wall of Resistance. Nobody Talks - Everybody Walks. But when your neck is under the boot of the government, it can be difficult to remain silent and not be tricked of coerced into cooperating with their efforts to target your friends and associates.
