ELSEWHERE in #CapitolRiot land, Charles Donohoe, a North Carolina Proud Boys leader charged in the PB conspiracy case, is pleading guilty to at least one felony count before Judge Timothy Kelly. wusa9.com/article/news/n…
Donohoe is pleading guilty to CONSPIRACY and ASSAULTING POLICE on Jan. 6, both felonies. His plea agreement will include cooperation in the ongoing case against other Proud Boys, including former national chairman Enrique Tarrio.
Judge Kelly says Charles Donohoe will have an estimated offense level of 27 with no criminal history, which would put his recommended sentencing range at 70-87 months in prison. Even at the lowest end, that would be the longest sentence handed down in a #CapitolRiot case to date.
However, Judge Kelly notes, the DOJ *could* choose to file a motion for downward departure if his cooperation in the case is substantial enough. But there's no guarantee they will do so.
North Carolina Proud Boys leader Charles Donohoe has pleaded GUILTY to one count each of conspiracy and assaulting police, both felonies. He's the first defendant in the PB leaders case to accept a plea deal from the government. That will include cooperation in the case.
Donohoe will remain in pre-sentencing detention. Unlike many of the other #CapitolRiot defendants, he was never transferred to D.C. Obviously, there would be some concerns if he was going to be held in the same unit as people he'll be testifying against.
