A High-Ranking Proud Boy Is Now Snitching for the Feds

Federal prosecutors appear to have made their biggest breakthrough yet in their sprawling investigation into the violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A high-ranking Proud Boy has flipped, agreeing to testify in any and all cases where his testimony might be “deemed relevant by the government.”

“Donohoe’s guilty plea is a significant development in the case against the Proud Boys defendants,” said Barbara McQuade, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017. “His agreement to cooperate means that any trial against other Proud Boys members will include his testimony, which will be important evidence for the prosecution.”

His cooperation could also “signal his ability to provide information up the chain to organizers and leaders who planned the attack,” said McQuade, specifically whether Proud Boy leaders had any communication with former President Donald Trump’s inner circle in the run-up to Jan 6.

“We are learning that the attack on the Capitol was not a spontaneous event for all participants, but instead was planned by at least two groups, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers,” McQuade added. “Investigators will want to know how high up that planning and coordination went.”
