AP journalist Michael Kunzelman, in an article published on February 15, reports that Metropolitan Police Lt. Shane Lamond — according to the prosecution at Tarrio’s 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 mob’s attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021."

"Lamond, an intelligence officer for the city’s 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 Democrat’s 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, "I’ve never heard of it."

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.

Maybe he's in the COC, but lets get him in front of the GJ to tell us why he's passing this info on to a PB. Was he the cutout? Maybe...lets get him under oath and let him explain his situation.
