Enrique Tarrio, the former chairman of the Proud Boys, and four other members of the far-right group were indicted on Monday for seditious conspiracy in connection with the storming of the Capitol last January, the most serious crime to be charged in the Justice Department’s sprawling investigation of the assault.

The sedition charges against Mr. Tarrio and his co-defendants — Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola — came in an amended indictment that was unsealed in Federal District Court in Washington. The men had already been charged in an earlier indictment filed in March with conspiring to obstruct the certification of the 2020 presidential election, which took place during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.

It was not immediately clear what evidence led to the new charges against the members of the Proud Boys, who were central in the effort to storm the Capitol and help forestall President Donald J. Trump’s defeat.

A charge of seditious conspiracy requires prosecutors to prove that force was used either to overthrow the government or to interfere with the execution of federal law.

Would the NYT ever label a liberal group as "far-left"?

Just like clockwork.

The Justice Department on Monday charged the head of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, and four other leaders with seditious conspiracy in the US Capitol attack.

Justice Department. What an oxymoron!

“Sedition” against a country that’s not a democracy but the left and media labels it as a democracy every chance they get. How can it be sedition against something that doesn’t exist?

They should have learned that all they have to do to stay out of trouble is paint their faces black, burn a few businesses down, and loot every other store in the area.

I think the preferred term for left-leaning groups by media is "anti-hate"

The left is getting ahead of the narrative, trying to set the tone for what "seditious conspiracy" is.

This way, when Durham pops HRC's whole crew + FBI cool kids, they can stick their fingers in their ears and go "nuh-UHHHHHHH!"

There are several theories/blogs and articles written that this seditious conspiracy is justified because J6thers USED FORCE.

Brennan, McCabe and Comey & gang didn't USE FORCE. They just quietly covertly committed a coup attempt. So it is okay.

Who writes the laws? This needs changed.

So these five guys planned to gain control of our military and nuclear capabilities that day? What an insurrection, others would call it a protest.

Essentially, yes. They wanted to prevent the certification of the election and transfer of power to the new President.

No, because far left does not exist to them. They don't see anything on the left as actually being a fringe view unless it is closer to the middle like Manchin.
