ustice 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 the 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.
In court, Todd Allison, a line prosecutor for the Justice Department in Arizona, said DOJ may want to argue that type of assertion if Chansley goes to trial, but cannot say that at the moment.
"We do not want to mislead the court by discussing the strength of any specific evidence" related to his intent, Allison said. Chansley will remain in jail as he awaits trial, a judge decided on Friday, after the Justice Department portrayed him as a particularly belligerent leader among the rioters. Chansley's case eventually will move to the federal court in DC. The line was a chilling description yet of rioters who seized the Capitol last week, writing in a court filing that the intention was "to capture and assassinate elected officials."

The US prosecutors indeed intended to lie to the Court, the press, and the American people. They did not “mislead”, they lied. I hope the Judge refuses to strike the sentence.
US or CNN ?
I am told that this guy is from Tempe, University town. Nothing wrong with that. However, Maga is not a language that is commonly spoken down there. But BLM and its dialect of Antifa is spoken.
I’ve seen BLM/Antifa demonstrations in downtown Tempe, where this guy was reportedly seen. He has been seen at other BLM demonstrations. Is he really a leftist troll/criminal/liar/fool/wanabe terrorist? I don’t know. But it’s early yet. Someone needs to interview and investigate this idiot. I do not trust the MSM or the FBI to ever get to the truth, not now.
Sounds like they are setting up a false flag to go after trump supporters as domestic white supremacists terrorists
Seeing a lot of conspiracy theories that “they” meaning Dems are going to JFK Biden and blame it on right wing.
I dont know why Biden would have to cancel a rehearsal when there are 20k troops protecting him.
They got their narrative out. That’s all what they wanted to do.
Must be because they are finding BLM and Antifa connections...
Friday news dump....no one paying attention hardly.
.... The FBI et-al are colluding with the Democrat Socialist Party in an attempt. without any concrete evidence, to create a contrived narrative to demonize the Right in preparation for the targeted blame for the false flag event about to happen on Wed.
btw, why has Trump’s Facebook suddenly been reactivated
Beware of a TRAP, President Trump.
They don’t even try to hide it.
***have formally walked back their assertion ***
And the lie was already around the world before the TRUTH could get it’s shoes on.
