Hey there OnPolitics readers. It's been a busy day in Washington.

The months-long Proud Boys trial reached a verdict today, finding leader Enrique Tarrio and three lieutenants – Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl — guilty of entering a seditious conspiracy against the U.S. government which resulted in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.

Defendant Dominic Pezzola was later found not guilty of seditious conspiracy by the jury.

But all defendants were convicted of obstructing the certification of the 2020 presidential election, and four were convicted of conspiring to obstruct it.

The bottom line: The Justice Department's conviction of Tarrio and three others on the rare, Civil War-era crime bolsters its account that the Capitol attack endangered American law and order, Ella Lee writes.

The revelation was the latest involving Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow and is likely to prompt new scrutiny on ethics practices at the Supreme Court.
