Trump's pardon of the guy sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy will, according to the pardoned felon himself, ensure that the group has a "role in politics" going forward. More attacks on our government? On police? I guess they'll stand by for whatever criminality Trump and MAGA need? In any case, it's interesting (and sad) to see the effect Trump's criminality will have on making all of us and our country less safe. Oh yeah -he called for "retribution" against the people who prosecuted his and other cases. Judges? Police? What kind of retribution might he mean? MIAMI ― In an exclusive sit-down interview at his home in Miami, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, the former − and possibly current − leader of the Proud Boys told USA TODAY he plans to keep influencing the group and said it will continue to have a role in politics moving forward. Tarrio, who was less than two years into a 22-year federal prison sentence for seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol when President Donald Trump pardoned him on Monday, returned home to Miami on Wednesday and sat down with USA TODAY Friday morning. He acknowledged that some Jan. 6 rioters attacked police and deserved prosecution, said the Proud Boys have been unfairly miscast as a hate group, and tamped down statements he made on a podcast earlier this week when he called for “retribution” against the people who put him and other Jan. 6 rioters behind bars. Proud Boys' Enrique Tarrio tells all: Wants accusers to 'feel the heat', weighs sheriff run
