While prosecutors successfully concealed the identities of most FBI informants planted in the Proud Boys, newly obtained surveillance video shows the movement of one Proud Boy informant on January 6.
Rather than spend years in prison-more on that in a future piece-in 2019, Jones suddenly became interested in so-called "White supremacist" and "Neo-Nazi" groups including the Proud Boys and Patriot Front.
Jones, now 25, participated in several Proud Boys demonstrations leading up to the events of January 6.
In November 2020, Jones joined the Proud Boys for a "Stop the Steal" protest that "Served as a regional feeder event for a Dec. 12, 2020 protest against the election outcome that would come to be seen as a dress rehearsal for the Jan. 6 insurrection," Raw Story reported last month.
On the morning of January 6, Jones joined dozens of Proud Boys including Joseph Biggs and Ethan Nordean as they marched toward the Capitol around noon.
Further, Jones' conduct on January 6 was far more violent than the conduct of any of the five Proud Boys later charged with seditious conspiracy and other felonies.
"During the time Jones was active with the Proud Boys, from 2020 to 2022, he was also involved with Patriot Front, demonstrating the porous relationship between the Proud Boys, a group that accepts men of color while claiming to be not racist, and neo-Nazis and other open white supremacist groups," Raw Story reported.
