WASHINGTON (Reuters) - 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.
Tarrio, in an interview with Reuters Tuesday, denied working undercover or cooperating in cases against others. “I don’t know any of this,” he said, when asked about the transcript. “I don’t recall any of this.”
Law-enforcement officials and the court transcript contradict Tarrio’s denial. In a statement to Reuters, the former federal prosecutor in Tarrio’s case, Vanessa Singh Johannes, confirmed that “he cooperated with local and federal law enforcement, to aid in the prosecution of those running other, separate criminal enterprises, ranging from running marijuana grow houses in Miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes.”
Tarrio, 36, is a high-profile figure who organizes and leads the right-wing Proud Boys in their confrontations with those they believe to be Antifa, short for “anti-fascism,” an amorphous and often violent leftist movement. The Proud Boys were involved in the deadly insurrection at the Capitol January 6.

I really believe (and have read enough what the US government has admitted) that all these groups are STARTED by the FBI… People might join organically, but it's the easiest way to bust everyone.. Having their names, faces, IP, address, GPS. They're all in a vacuum instead of being scattered fragments.
Just like the media.. Some don't even hide the fact they worked for the CIA (Anderson Cooper and that Congresswoman Slotkin and many more), Operation Mockingbird.
Also, the first thing an informant learns is how to say "I don't recall"

Exactly what is bad about anti fascism? Lol! I still don’t understand. Nobody has a problem with Communist China anymore. See how people are always changing their minds about stuff? So in about 5 years when fascism becomes popular, people will love them like they love China.
