House managers name-checked him 12 times during last week's Trump impeachment trial. Now, Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola appears posed to plead guilty for his role in the Capitol insurrection.

People march with those who claim they are members of the Proud Boys as they attend a rally in support of Donald Trump. | Carolyn Kaster/APA Proud Boy seen in Jan. 6 footage smashing a Capitol window with a police riot shield appears poised to plead guilty and is asserting that another member of the extremist group has been cooperating with law enforcement.

Hundreds have been charged as the FBI scours the nation for those seen at the Capitol that day, including a large and growing number of so-called Proud Boys. “Pezzola came to the Capitol on Jan. 6 with deadly intentions,” said Del. Stacey Plaskett , one of nine House impeachment managers. “He commandeered a Capitol Police shield, used it to smash a glass window, entered the Capitol, and paved the way for dozens of insurrectionists.”

Zucker also said he and his client have come to believe another member of the Proud Boys — one far more involved in the group and accused of spraying police with pepper spray on Jan. 6 — has been working with law enforcement in order to avoid a charge.

Corruption & hypocrisy is grotesque. Cuomo & Newsom worked night and day to prevent covid transmission and death, while being denied federal support from Prince Kushner. Believe in law & order? - read - --

Prince Kushner corrupted everything & FBI is investigating Cuomo? That's funnier than the Cancun Honeymoon of the Insurrectionist. -- --Read -informative--

All of the seditionists deserve to be found, investigated and then prosecuted accordingly.

SethAbramson I think back to Hitler's Nazis. Jan 6 was Trump GOP-Trumpism insurrection carried out by their Allgemeine (policy) and Waffen (armed) supporters/militants. Proud Boys was allgemeine, but Pizzola at the Capitol ended up invading w waffen.

SethAbramson I hope he rats out Roger Stone

SethAbramson Sleeping in the car while the others plotted? Yeah....the others won't like that....but totally believable. 😖

Proud Boys are a domestic terrorist organization. Should be labeled and treated as such.
