EXCLUSIVE… Enrique Tarrio Interview: The Only Evidence DOJ Had Against Proud Boys Was a Document They Knew Was Written by the FBI! – They Sentenced Them to 20 Years Anyway!
February 25, 2025

On Monday, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed former Proud Boys Chairman and J6 Political prisoner Enrique Tarrio.
This was Enrique’s first major interview since President Donald J. Trump released him from prison on January 22, 2025.
The entire interview is filled with new information and shocking details on how the Biden Regime, Democrats, and the legacy media OPENLY LIED to the American public to create an entire narrative on January 6, 2021, that was utterly false.
They all knew it was false but ran with it anyway.
The Gateway Pundit ran a clip earlier this morning detailing how the deceitful men and women of the Biden DOJ attempted to pressure him to lie in order to get President Trump. To his credit, Enrique refused to play a part in their scheme so they sentenced him to 22 years in prison by kangaroo court.
If that was not bad enough – Enrique then explained how the ONLY EVIDENCE the DOJ was able to produce to indict the Proud Boys was a document titled “1776 Returns” that was written by the FBI and then inserted into the Proud Boy’s chat group to indict the pro-Trump group.
This continues to show the depths the Biden DOJ would go in order to indict Trump and destroy the lives of hundreds of his supporters.
** We hope that this clip reaches the desks of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Here is the video clip – Details are published below the video.
In February 2023, The Gateway Pundit’s Cara Castronuovo wrote about this shocking development in the US government’s case against the Proud Boys.
It was discovered that the Government itself was the author of the mysterious “1776 Returns” document.
The “1776 Returns” document is the title of a 9-page paper that outlined strategic plans for the takeover of US government buildings on January 6, 2021.
It was confirmed in court that the FBI was behind the document, and an FBI operative was the author of the document.
Tarrio was charged with Seditious Conspiracy and was later found guilty, along with four fellow members of the Proud Boys. Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for planning the entire “seditious conspiracy.” We now know that it was the FBI who was behind the conspiracy.
According to the Motion by attorney Roger Roots:
“It appears that the government itself is the author of the most incriminating and damning document in this case, which was mysteriously sent at government request to Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio immediately prior to January 6 in order to frame or implicate Tarrio in a government- created scheme to storm buildings around the Capitol. As such, Exhibit 528-1 and the government’s efforts to frame or smear defendants with it, constitutes outrageous government conduct. This is either entrapment or outrageous government conduct, or both. Equally improper, it is a Brady violation because the Department of Justice must surely have known these revelations before putting Special Agent Dubrowski on the stand on February 9 to introduce this evidence.”
You can’t make this stuff up!

Apparently, an individual by the name of Samuel Armes is responsible for writing the “1776 Returns” document.
Armes is “a former State Department and Special Operations official” who was also interviewed by the January 6th Unselect Committee.
Armes said “he recognized components of the document as ideas he had composed as part of a “war gaming” exercise he did in August or September of 2020. Armes “co-founded a Florida-based cryptocurrency LLC — Government Blockchain Systems” “Armes said that in college he had been groomed to join the CIA and FBI before his stint in the State Department and special operations. . . . In his studies, he often participated in “war gaming” scenarios, skills he used during his stint in government.” (*The J6 Committee was resistant in releasing these documents.)
To reiterate, this government asset, Armes, passed this document off to a “love interest” of Enrique Tarrio named “Erika”, who then testified she forwarded the document AT THE REQUEST OF ARMES to Tarrio via Telegram.
“This means that the most damning document in this trial was authored by the intelligence community—someone “groomed” by the FBI itself,” said Roger Roots (the Proud Boys attorney who authored this Blockbuster Motion). “And this CIA and FBI asset requested Tarrio’s friend to share the document with Tarrio just prior to January 6.”
The plan was concocted by the FBI and planted inside the Proud Boys Telegram page days before January 6.
The document laid out a plan for the occupation of eight key buildings in the District of Columbia on January 6, 2021. This included House and Senate office buildings and the Supreme Court. The strategy included a call for the mass-mobilization of followers, invoking the sentiment and spirit of 1776 and the 1917 storming of the Winter Palace by Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution.

Tarrio never opened or read the document sent to him by Armes through Flores, yet the Government used this dopey “war gaming” exercise in their case against Tarrio and the Proud Boys.
Tarrio had nothing to do with the creation of these plans and they were simply “sent” to him via Telegram by a “love interest”, yet the Biden DOJ misled the already biased jury to believe the document belonged to Tarrio- and the Dishonorable Judge Timothy Kelly allowed this charade to proceed, even though he was aware of the document’s history from pre-trial hearings!

It is clear from this complete body of evidence that has been completely ignored by the mainstream media, pins the January 6 attacks on the US Capitol directly on the FBI and its operatives.
The federal government, FBI and others set up this entire disgusting event.
Four Trump supporters were killed that day. Hundreds more have had their lives ruined by this lawless regime.
This must be investigated. Justice must be served.
