I ask that you not take my 40s away from me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although Tarrio was not present in D.C. on the day of the \u200dCapitol breach, prosecutors argued that he played a leadership role\u200d in the Proud Boys and used his intelligence and charisma to radicalize followers.<\/p>\n<p>The government relied on private communications from defendants involved in the breach to build their case against Tarrio and others. The charge \u200dof seditious conspiracy is rare and difficult to prove,\u200d but it has been successfully used by the \u2064DOJ about a dozen times in connection to the Capitol breach.<\/p>\n<p>Defense lawyers maintained that there was no written\u2063 evidence to support the claim that Tarrio conspired to stop the certification of\u200d the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Tarrio, other Proud Boys members\u200d and Oath Keepers have also been convicted of seditious conspiracy and received significant prison sentences.
