DC police officer 'privately shared' internal information with Proud Boys leader: report

AP journalist Michael Kunzelman, in an article published on February 15, reports that Metropolitan Police Lt. Shane Lamond according to the prosecution at Tarrios trial gave Tarrio "internal information about law enforcement operations in the weeks before other members of his far-right extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol."
Federal prosecutor Conor Mulroe, Kunzelman reports, "privately exchanged" messages with Tarrio "in the run-up to a mobs attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021."
"Lamond, an intelligence officer for the citys police department, was responsible for monitoring groups like the Proud Boys when they came to Washington for protests," the AP reporter explains. "Less than three weeks before the January 6 riot, Lamond warned Tarrio that the FBI and U.S. Secret Service were 'all spun up' over talk on an Infowars internet show that the Proud Boys planned to dress up as supporters of President Joe Biden on the Democrats inauguration day."
When Mulroe asked FBI special agent Peter Dubrowski one of the witnesses at the trial how common it is for police officers to share internal information in that way, Dubrowski replied, "Ive never heard of it."

(439 posts)He is law enforcement in a position that is tracking the people he was passing info to. He is supposed to be getting this information as part of his job. The people above him were supposed to be sharing that info with him. What wasn't supposed to be happening was sharing that info with targets of the surveillance. If you can prove his bosses were in on it, get em all. If you can't prove it, either they were innocent to begin with or they got away with making him the fall guy.
