They Convicted a Police Lieutenant Over His Relationship With Enrique Tarrio

On September 8, Enrique Tarrio posted that I molested my own children.

He used the word diddled. He put it in public, under his own name, with a verified check beside it.

I am not going to spend this article on that, and I want to be clear about why.

I do not discuss my children in public. Not with him, not with anybody, not on my worst day. I never have and I am not going to start because a man on the internet went looking for the thing he thought would hurt the most and found it.

So he does not get that from me.

What he gets is the record.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt in public for a year

I am going to say the uncomfortable part first, because if I do not say it somebody else will.

I said cordial things about Enrique Tarrio in public. More than once. There are screenshots and I am not going to pretend there are not.

I did that for two reasons. I did not have the full picture, and I believed there was one line this whole community still held, which was that whatever else we did to each other, we did not hand each other to the government.

I have the picture now. None of what follows comes from me.

One. He volunteered

In January 2013 the FBI arrested him in a scheme to relabel and sell stolen diabetic test strips.

What happened next is the part he has never answered.

From day one. Not squeezed. Not cornered. The prosecutor's own description is that he was the one who wanted to talk.

Thirteen people. Two indictments. Fourteen months off his own sentence.

His own attorney and a federal prosecutor described the undercover work in open court in 2014. Years before January 6 was a date anybody cared about.

When Reuters put it to him, he said he did not recall any of it. He did not say it did not happen. The former federal prosecutor on his case confirmed to Reuters that it did.

Two. The police intelligence chief who fed him information went to prison for it

This is the one most people in our world still do not know about.

A sitting police intelligence commander in Washington, DC was criminally convicted over his relationship with Enrique Tarrio.

The judge, describing months of their messages, put the pattern in one sentence. Lamond and Tarrio talk, and Tarrio immediately disseminates what he learns.

That is not a podcast theory. That is a federal judge, and a police lieutenant sentenced to eighteen months.

Three. Four of them walked into the building

In December 2024 the Justice Department Inspector General published what the rest of us had been called liars for asking about.

I am going to give you the whole finding, including the parts that cut against me, because that is the difference between a record and a talking point.

The report says none of them were authorized to break the law. It says no undercover agents were at the rally. Fine. Print it.

Now hold on to the number that matters.

Four FBI confidential human sources went inside the United States Capitol.

I went inside the United States Capitol. I was arrested twelve days later and held without bond.

I raised the informant question before my own sentencing and a prosecutor called me a liar for it. Then the Inspector General published the number.

Name the four.

Four. The arrest that put him outside the city

He tells you constantly he was not in Washington on January 6. He is right.

Here is the comparison that actually holds up, and it is not about who suffered more.

I was at the Capitol. I was arrested on January 18, 2021. Twelve days.

He was the national chairman of the Proud Boys. He was arrested on March 8, 2022. Fourteen months.

Twelve days against fourteen months. That is the whole thing, and neither number is mine.

Now the part where I correct myself

Here is where I do the thing he will not do.

I have said some of this out loud already and I got it wrong. I am fixing it in public, in the same article where I am going after him, because a claim that only survives when nobody checks it is not a claim.

I said he was not charged for years. Wrong. Fourteen months.

I said he got to sit at home while the rest of us did not. Wrong. On March 15, 2022 Judge Timothy Kelly ordered him detained pending trial, finding home detention could not manage the risk. He stayed in. That same judge overruled another judge who had granted home confinement to a co-defendant.

And I am going to correct a comparison about myself before anybody else does it for me. I have seen the line going around that he served about 34 months and I served four years. The second half is not right, and I am not going to run a piece about another man's honesty on a number I inflated about my own.

I could have left all three of those standing. They sounded better.

They were not accurate, so they are gone.

The question

I am not asking him to confess to anything. I am asking him to do what he demands of everybody else.

Release the record. Post the 2014 transcript yourself. End it in one afternoon.

Or answer seven words.

Have you ever, at any point, in any case, provided information to a federal agency about another person?

Yes or no.

What he said about me

On September 8 he told me I simp for the pedophiles he put away, that my ex wife and children want nothing to do with me, and that I probably diddled them too.

On September 15 he told me I am a nobody, that I always will be one, and that he will make me famous the day we cross paths.

I am putting that last sentence in the record and leaving it there. People can decide for themselves what a grown man means by it.

What this does not prove

Being careful is the only thing separating me from the people who lied about me for four years.

Documented: the 2013 arrest, the volunteered cooperation, thirteen prosecutions across two indictments, the reduced sentence, the non denial to Reuters, the Lamond conviction, the OIG count of 26 with four inside the Capitol, the January 4 arrest and removal order, the March 2022 indictment, the detention order, the 22 year sentence, and the clemency.

Not established: what Enrique Tarrio was or was not doing on January 6 itself. I have opinions and I have posted them. They are opinions and I am labeling them that way instead of dressing them up as findings.

I am not asserting he had a handler. No record establishes it. I am not asserting the January 4 arrest was staged. No record establishes it. I am not asserting who funds anybody's travel. I went looking through my own files before writing this and I cannot source it, so it is not in here.

The bottom line

Every number in this article has a link on it. Take none of it on my word.

A man who volunteered information that put thirteen people in prison, whose police contact was convicted over their relationship, who was removed from the city before the sixth, is headlining a film about martyrs and selling tickets for September 26.

Before I buy one, I would like the 2014 transcript in the bonus features.

A martyr story with a sealed chapter is just a story.

He went after my children because he does not have a document to stand on.

I have eight of them, and I am still not going to talk about my kids.

Keep reading the record

If this is the first page of mine you have ever landed on, here is where the rest of it lives.

• The J6 case file. Over four thousand case pages, public and searchable. Free for defendants and their families.
• My case. What was done to me, what the record shows, and what still needs authentication.
• What I build for other people. I built this archive because I needed a platform nobody could take from me. I can build yours.

Share it. Send receipts. Put eyes on the record. Do not threaten, harass, or contact anyone in my name.

UPDATE, September 17, 2026. He responded to this article. He did not deny cooperating. He told me the number was thirty, not thirteen, after telling Reuters in 2021 that he did not recall any of it. Read the follow up: Enrique Tarrio Says It Was Thirty, Not Thirteen.
