Why did Trump meet with the terrorist, Enrique Tarrio, at Mar-a-lago ??

We can deduce that Trump scheduled the meeting, rather than the terrorist.

Also, we can deduce that he wanted it kept secret from the American people at large, because he permitted no cameras at their meeting.

If not for the Trump pardon, the terrorist would probably be spending 20 years behind bars? So, he owes Trump.

What do you think they discussed? Next week's Sunday School lesson?

Being the leader of the Proud Boys, a domestic terrorist organization, he is like a leader of the Brown Shirts under Hitler. (From Google: The Brownshirts, officially known as the Sturmabteilung (SA) in German, were a paramilitary organization affiliated with the Nazi Party in Germany. They were nicknamed Brownshirts due to their brown-colored uniforms. The SA played a significant role in Hitler's rise to power, engaging in violent acts and intimidating political opponents.)

I'm sure both understand their role very well.

He became an informant later on.

As far as trump is concerned none of that would matter as long as Tarrio was a pro trump.

Goes back to when Ollie North talked about suspending the Constitution deputizing the Michigan Militia and other RWNJ extremist as part of REX-84. Now it’s obvious why.

MIAMI -- Lt. Col. Oliver North helped write a plan in 1982 to suspend the Constitution and place the country under martial law in the event of a national crisis, The Miami Herald reported.

The plan, outlined in a June 30, 1982, memo obtained by the Herald, was a revised version of contingency plans for dealing with nuclear war, insurrection or military mobilization, the newspaper reported in its Sunday editions.

It proposed a scenario calling for suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the United States over to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments and declaration of martial law.

North, who was assigned to the National Security Council in late 1981, was FEMA's contact with the NSC and helped the agency draw up the plan, the Herald reported.

The proposal was written as part of an executive order or legislative package that President Reagan would sign and hold within the NSC until a crisis arose.

Snip…

The memo outlining the martial law provisions of the contingency plan was written by John Brinkerhoff, deputy to then FEMA director Louis O. Guiffrida. The martial law provisions resembled a 1970 paper Guiffrida wrote in which he proposed such actions in the event of a national uprising by black militants.

Snip…

Other figures in the network were Attorney General Edwin Meese, former national security adviser William Clark and the late CIA Director William Casey. The Herald said Meese referred private citizens to the NSC where they could be screened for soliciting support for the Contras, but beyond that his role is unknown. It was under Clark that North began to gain influence in the NSC.
