Who is Enrique Tarrio?

CNN's Katelyn Polantz first reported last week that a grand jury had been convened in 2019. Tarrio said he testified because he had access to Stone's phone a couple of times to post social media content.

Tarrio says he had nothing to do with posting that image.

... snip ...

Tarrio admitted he was an informant for the FBI and other agencies after he was convicted in a federal fraud case, but he now says the FBI is not to be trusted and improperly uses its power.
He says that after what happened on January 6, though, his group is looking at changing some of its tactics.

"I think right now is the time to go ahead and overthrow the government by becoming the new government and running for office," he says.

somehow Stone figures into this ... he was known to run with the proud boys, yet he had the oath keepers doing his security on the morning of January 6 ...

I tend to look for the “what’s missing” more than the “what’s obvious”

Right, I like to be a detective and put the puzzle pieces together.
Some pieces obvious, some not.
