Proud Boys' 'trusted lieutenant' sentenced after cooperating with feds in Jan. 6 case

LTC Eugene Chu think they are called Snitch in prison...
..."Charles Donohoe, who the government described as “a trusted lieutenant" on former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio’s "leadership team,” pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding as well as to assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, including by throwing two water bottles at police while they were under assault by the mob. Authorities also said that Donohoe handled a stolen police shield on the grounds of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Donohue, who is no longer affiliated with the Proud Boys, has been held in federal prison since his arrest in March 2021, so the sentence is nearly the equivalent of time served. Several paragraphs describing Donohue’s cooperation with the government were redacted from public filings in the case.

“Functionally, you’re going to be leaving pretty soon,” Judge Timothy Kelly told Donohoe on Tuesday, praising him for how he conducted himself since he was arrested, but noting the seriousness of the underlying crime.

Prosecutors said in a sentencing memo that Donohue was aware at least two days before the Capitol attack that members of the Proud Boys "were discussing the possibility of storming the US Capitol," they wrote.

"Donohoe believed that storming the US Capitol would achieve the group’s goal of stopping the government from carrying out the transfer of presidential power," prosecutors wrote.

Tarrio was sentenced in September to 22 years in federal prison, the longest sentence given to any Jan. 6 defendant to date. His codefendants included Joe Biggs, who was sentenced to 17 years, while Zachary Rehl was sentenced to 15 years and Ethan Nordean was sentenced to 18 years. Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola, the fifth defendant in the case, was found not guilty of the top charge of seditious conspiracy but guilty of other charges; he was sentenced to 10 years.

Donohue’s lawyers wrote their client “joined the Proud Boys in 2018, after watching a documentary on YouTube and seeing a video of Antifa smashing a Berkeley United States Marine Corps window in 2017.” Donohue eventually served as president of a local chapter in North Carolina.

“After Mr. Donohoe decided to plead guilty and cooperate with the Government, the Proud Boys permanently banned him from their organization," his attorneys wrote. "However, when Mr. Donohoe made the decision to accept responsibility for his actions, he did so with the intent of leaving the Proud Boys. He has not regretted breaking ties with the Proud Boy organization. It is his desire to move forward in his life in a positive manner and focus on his family, especially his young son." ...
