US takes back its assertion that Capitol rioters wanted to 'capture and assassinate' officials

CNN Digital Expansion 2018 Katelyn Polantz

By Katelyn Polantz, CNN

Updated 5:46 PM ET, Fri January 15, 2021

(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.

I read she is safe in a Blue district filled with wealthy west coasters who have infested Wyoming.

You do realize Wyoming only has one seat right?

“I’ll be glad to donate to her replacement’s campaign.”

On Monday, folks should call Liz Cheney’s office and leave messages with staff or on voicemail.

Just tell them how pleased you are to help underwrite her Republican primary challenger.

They really, really hate that.

No, her district is the entire state.

Sure, but ...

1) She'll have a lot more money than any challenger.

2) If there's more than one challenger the anti-Cheney vote will be split. Wyoming doesn't have a run-off so she could get well under a majority in the primary and still get the nomination.

3) You can't beat somebody with nobody. You need to find a candidate who is convincing and has popular appeal and unite behind that candidate.

4) If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?

“If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?”

She is willing to cede the field to Democrats.

There are several states that only have one Representative in the US Congress.

The number of Representatives for each state are based upon the population of each state.

Currently, each Representative represents about 750,000 people.

And no state can have zero representatives if their population is less than 750,000

“””If she does get the nomination, do you seriously want the seat to go to a Democrat?”””


Would there really be much difference between Liz Cheney and a Democrat????

around 65% of the WY voted for Trump. They can’t fix that big a spread.

Get her ass out of there!

Have you not seen the damage done Lindsey Graham and Romney?

Biden could have been subpoenaed at any time in 1,460 days with a simple Republican Committee Vote, but they refused!

They single-handedly put Biden in.

The end of our republic, thanks to Pence’s deliberate stab in Trump’s back.
______________________________

Exactly. That smarmy rat bastard Judas. The devil’s fly knew what it was signaling during the VP debate. The thing that hurts the most is, I thought Pence was a man of God. Just like Wm Barr. He really screwed the American people too.

I knew it’s based on population. I mistakenly assumed Wyoming was much more poulated.

If, What If?

The Republican Party in Wyoming will deal with this.

Wyoming has only one representative so she is a rare state wide elected representative.
