PHOENIX (AP) — Federal prosecutors said there was “strong evidence” the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week aimed to “capture and assassinate elected officials,” but the head of the investigation cautioned Friday that the probe is still in its early stages and there was no “direct evidence” of such intentions...
...Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, backed away from those claims later Friday, saying they have “no direct evidence at this point of kill, capture teams.”
...Sherwin said this week that he has organized a group of national security and public corruption prosecutors whose sole focus is to bring sedition charges for the “most heinous acts that occurred in the Capitol.” ...

Good! I’m a little surprised to see that the AP corrected the announcement that we saw earlier.
Here’s a video of an interview of Jacob Chansley, AKA Jake Angeli (the one with horns on his head), with our very own Travis McGee and Alex Jones. There’s much more interesting information about Chansley and QAnon. I laughed myself silly at the fit Jones threw. It’s hilarious!
“Exclusive: ‘Q Shaman’ Explains Why He Invaded Capitol”

Now that it’s becoming clear ANTIFA was the major active
force behind the “Rush the Capital Building” effort, they
have to walk it back or expose exactly how bad ANTIFA
actually is, and that their vice president was bailing
them out last year.
Guilty until proven innocent — the way of the UK and other third-rate nations.

BUFFALO GUY ‘TRUMP SUPPORTER’ IS ACTUALLY A LEFTIST AGITATOR

The idiots at F-Troop, at it again. There never was the slightest proof based upon anyone’s actions. The entire charge was based on the insane ramblings of the buffalo horn shaman clown.
Geee..YA THINK?
This whole “but, the red hat wearing MAGA people were gonna KILL some Congressional Reps and Senators, by golly!” is the biggest load of horsesh!t I’ve heard in a long time.
Since when do “violent” protestors walk in, single file, stay between the velvet ropes and take SELFIES while “storming” the Capitol, “armed” with nothing more than American and Trump flags?
The reporting on this has been a bald faced lie since day one. Those of us who have actually WATCHED THE VIDEOS know it, irrefutably.
OBVIOUSLY, the left is using this as their Reichstag Fire moment. It’s allowed them to demonize and impeach Trump (wrongly, since reports are the “storming” was PRE-PLANNED and not “incited”), demonize 74 million Trump supporters and generally rally public opinion to how awful and un-American those darned MAGA people are. Gotta hand it to them, they never “let a good crisis go to waste” as Rahm Emmanuel famously said..
Fake but true®
“No direct evidence” = “No actual evidence”
Why would I contact them?
I contacted the hot-line to report what looked like a child
abuse ring effort about a decade ago.
The person I talked to was bored stiff by my information.
Thanks for the link.
The guy is obviously some kind of idiotic attention whore and F-Troop fell for it again just like they did for the Steele dossier where the world’s most famous Germophobe Trump supposedly paid prostitutes to pee on his bed.
No press release on a Friday will change that.

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

Yeah...
There was to much evidence let out by social media for the main stream media to lie about.. They are gonna find out that tactic don’t work. You can’t stick antifa in with Trump supporters because they all video this stuff and antifa does not care who the president is, they like no one.
This “voluntary” reversal smells like Trump gave them an ultimatum regarding their collective condemnation of good people.
Evidence? The rabid Jacobins need no stinkin’ evidence.
