Prosecutors unveiled new conspiracy charges Friday against four leaders of the Proud Boys, the pro-Trump extremist group that participated in the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, charging them with a plot to disrupt Congress’ certification of the 2020 election.

The charges, unsealed Friday by a federal judge, allege that Ethan Nordean of Seattle, Zach Rehl of Philadelphia, Charles Donohoe of North Carolina and Joseph Biggs of Florida orchestrated a strategy to overwhelm Capitol Police officers and target weakly guarded entrances to the building.

All four are considered regional leaders of the Proud Boys organization, with close ties to the group’s national leader Enrique Tarrio.

The charges are arguably the most significant leveled in the 10 weeks since a mob of Donald Trump supporters — seeded with cells of organized extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers — stormed the Capitol, sent lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence fleeing for safety and injured more than 100 police officers.

1. one of those thugs actually had a cart he was pushing. couldn't quite make out contents

If you look at the guy just behind the bullhorn thug, you can see hands on the handle of cart being pushed along.

I recognize it because I use one when I'm schlepping a bunch of groceries from my car etc. mine is white, but black is most common color.

2. "Zach Rehl of Philadelphia"

Ugh... they walk among us here.

I just found a video interview he did with a youtube RW loon "news" (in quotes) entity and the whole thing consisted of 17 minutes of fabricated events, outright lies, and all sorts of spinning of CT tales, with every other word being "antifa"...

He was apparently a "Neighborhood Watch" captain or some other position in the Port Richmond section of the city.

A march is starting right now in South Philly. In the spirit of the #threewayfight, this event draws parallels between the structural racism which supports both policing and right wing vigilantism.

But not all of those far right elements were even from the neighborhood. Philadelphia Proud Boys Zach Rehl and Aaron Wolkind-Whallon came out to instigate and recruit as well.

I am glad they are cleaning our streets of filth like him.

3. Still looking for RICO.

4. I'm looking for a connection to any of the four murders

These guys all claim they would die for Trump. If we can place a capital crime on them, they could get their wish.
