Charles Donohoe of North Carolina and (FINALLY!) Zach Rehl of Philadelphia were seen in photos all over the place on Jan. 6. Brien James was not there however, and why doesn’t seem so curious anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zach Rehl, the president of the Philadelphia, PA chapter of the Proud Boys and Charles Donohoe, a Proud Boy leader based out of Winston-Salem, NC were arrested Wednesday by federal authorities on charges they were coordinators of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol the Proud Boys and other neo-fascist groups participated in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day in response to the arrests, Brien James<\/a> the longtime neo-Nazi who is the head of the Proud Boys Indiana Chapter and the founder of the neo-fascist American Guard, took to Telegram to defend the two and warn against a federal informant within its ranks \u2013 presumably Proud Boy leader Henry \u201cEnrique\u201d Tarrio, who was outed as such several weeks ago and has been an object of scorn for James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to news reports, Rehl, 35, was picked up by agents<\/a> in his home in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia on Wednesday. Agents from the FBI office in Charlotte, NC arrested Donohoe<\/a> in the Winston-Salem suburb of Kernersville at the same time and he had an initial appearance on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Winston-Salem with appearance scheduled for Friday to determine if he should remain in custody. Rehl is expected to have his first hearing in federal court in Philadelphia also on Friday. The charges against them remained unsealed as of Wednesday evening, but sources familiar with the investigation have noted they were indicted along with on conspiracy charges that also implicated previously charged Joe Biggs and Ethan Nordean, both also Proud Boy leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rehl was identified in pictures outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 coordinating alongside Biggs and Nordean, but it became increasingly frustrating how he was not arrested or even identified in the media for those following the developments early on<\/a>. It was not until after he was identified in a photo<\/a> of him and others inside the US Capitol published by the New Yorker that many took to social media sounding the proverbial alarm. Rehl and Dick Schwetz of the Leihigh Valley (PA) Proud Boys attempted to suggest Rehl was not in Washington, DC on Jan. 6 but in Harrisburg, PA that day, but those efforts proved to be laughable rather quickly<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, Brien James defended Rehl and Donohoe as \u201ctwo more good men\u201d who were arrested, and while he did not mention Enrique Tarrio by name seemed to continue the campaign he has been waging against him for several weeks. \u201cIf you had a guy who was proven federal informant and now people around him were going to jail right and left what would you say?\u201d he wrote on Telegram. \u201cSome of them were his closest friends. Some of them he personally placed into the positions that later brought them down. Would you say that this guy is most likely still an informant?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James, who was not in Washington, DC on Jan. 6 and led his chapter and several others in breaking away from the Proud Boy national leadership<\/a> after Tarrio was revealed in February to have been a federal informant several years ago, then issued what looked to be a direct challenge to him. \u201cIll(sic) be the one to butt heads with the motherfucker,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIf his handlers wanna come pick someone up… let it be me. I’m the one best suited to endure it. I’ve been through it before. Most of you haven’t. My kids are grown. Some of these men going to jail can’t say that. They are the best this country has to offer…being robbed of life and liberty by a grifting snitch. I give zero fucks. I’m gonna take this motherfucker head on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Twitter thread there has specifically been a close relationship with the North Carolina Proud Boys chapter Donohoe runs and the American Guard, and James rallied with the Philadelphia Proud Boys in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
