A documentary team picked up audio of attendees of the extremist meetup discussing the Capitol, per a new court filing.
On Monday, federal prosecutors filed a memo arguing that Tarrio should be denied bail because he poses a “danger to the community” and also presents “a serious risk of flight and of obstructing justice.”The 21-page memo lays out a detailed recap of the evidence against Tarrio, who is alleged to have organized and directed an undercover Proud Boys subgroup called the Ministry of Self Defense, or MOSD, whose members went on to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tarrio “spearheaded” the conspiracy, the memo alleges. “Tarrio created the MOSD, and was instrumental in choosing its leaders and members and imposing a strict top down command model,” it reads, adding that “Tarrio directed and orchestrated the MOSD’s violent acts entirely remotely … in the weeks leading up to January 6, and on the day itself.”
Most intriguing, however, is the light the memo shines on a parking-garage meeting between the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers on the day before the insurrection. The existence of the meeting has been public for some time, but the memo reveals that at least parts of it were caught on tape. “A documentary film crew was present in the garage,” the memo states, “and, at one point, picked up audio of a person referencing the Capitol.
The memo is frustratingly silent about who the this film crew was, and whose activities were they documenting in the garage. However, the government lawyers leave little doubt that they have a rich trove of evidence against Tarrio — who allegedly bragged after the events of Jan. 6 of the Proud Boys’ involvement. “Make no mistake…we did this,” Tarrio wrote, telling his top deputies that the next step was to “do it again.”
