Right wing political circles have been abuzz over the past 24hours after a Reuters report implied that Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio had worked extensively as an informant for federal and local law enforcement.
Reuters reported:
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.
However, speaking exclusively with TGP, Tarrio is breaking his silence about his motivations and why he decided to cooperate with law enforcement after being arrested in 2012. At the time of being charged, several of Tarrio’s family members who had helped him re-sell surplus diabetic testing at a lower cost, were also charged. After they all refused to turn on each other, Tarrio tells us that it was implied that if he cooperated with law enforcement on a few instances, that it would greatly reduce the sentence of his family members caught up in the charges, both of whom were younger.

“If people want to shame me for making this extremely difficult decision, so be it, I will die on that hill. At the end of the day, I was in charge and they had minimal involvement and did not deserve to bear the brunt of my poor decisions. When you are faced with these circumstances, it separates those with courage and those who only look out for themselves,” Tarrio told TGP.
According to the Reuters report, Tarrio’s cooperation lead to the end of a human trafficking ring. Who wouldn’t do make sacrifices to protect their family and lock up human traffickers? They sex traffic children and pump our communities full of poison.
“We must ask ourselves, who is truly upset that there are less human traffickers and drug pushers in our communities,” questioned Tarrio who says his family is at risk of those very same violent criminal elements he helped bring to justice because of the information leaked to Reuters.
Interestingly enough, the Judge and prosecutor in Enrique’s 2012 case continue to give quotes and make media appearances outing Tarrio as a one-time informant.
The Judge was appointed by Bill Clinton, a man who was best friends with infamous human trafficker and serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, no surprise there.
When it comes down to it, Tarrio said he would step up to protect his family and friends again, but has no faith that cooperation with the government is a safe pathway for anyone, especially when they will out you to the same violent criminal underworld you might be helping them expose.
“It’s a damn shame.”
