The convicted seditious conspiracist and onetime leader of the far-right Proud Boys, Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, would like to align himself with Donald Trump once again, asking a judge from behind bars if he can join the former president’s request to pause all civil litigation seeking to hold Trump responsible for the violence of Jan. 6, 2021.

The motion to join Trump’s stay request notes that Tarrio — who was sentenced to 22 years in prison — is after “judicial economy.”

Daniel Hull told Law&Crime on Thursday that Tarrio made the filing because he is a defendant in three of the lawsuits now before U.S. District Judge Mehta. Tarrio is just one of a few defendants along with Trump and others, like Rudy Giuliani, who have been sued by lawmakers in their individual capacities to hold them accountable for the violence of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is a defendant in three of the civil cases before U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta and “judicial economy” was featured throughout Trump’s motion for a stay, Hull said. Hull added: “We filed simply to underscore that Tarrio (who as you know is incarcerated) supports a stay and that any stay should apply to Tarrio as well.”

1. Wait what?

How is Tarrio linked in any possible way to a claim of presidential immunity?

3. I don't see how he is

I had originally thought this would have been related to the "enhanced sentences" issue that came out of the appeals court - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/court-tosses-jan-6-sentence-ruling-affect-100-cases-rcna141465

But apparently he is trying to piggyback onto 45's case. Ironically I would think if he did that, it would really establish his and the PB's connection to 45, justifying his conviction for seditious conspiracy and making a stronger case to do a superseding indictment of 45 for that charge as well (although they'll probably not go there). I would think 45's lawyers wouldn't want him anywhere near their case.

7. In a sane world, all of them from the top down would be jailed for treason for the rest of their lives
