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

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 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.

The American population laughing at the Bull Shit LARP narrative was not polling well. The pussies of congress running away in special mask/hoods is hysterical. What a bunch of wimps. The advertising the complete fear of the American people has to be tailored. Otherwise a few hardcore patriots might be emboldened. We live in interesting times.

"No direct evidence"--why this equivocation?

Translation: "We heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from an informant who now says he can't remember who he heard it from".

The guy with the zip ties worries me because he is described as a former Air Force man, and I think that will be all the excuse needed by Biden’s new Chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -— likely a multi-racial (all races but white) transgendered neo-ambi-neutro-quasi-sexual -— to purge the Armed Forces of all that “toxic masculinity” and “rampant white supremacy” and so on, and replace them with God knows what.

Well Joe Biden and his family are as perverted as they come so it won’t be surprising in the least if that permeates the entire Capital and any of his appointments and guests who visit there. No department will be excluded including the military.....Washington DC will surely be the Sodom and Gomorrah of the century.

They picked up the zip ties that were already there. They shouldn’t have touched them though.

None should have been inside in the first place without admission which none had....let alone break in, bypass and fight with security......this was NOT what Trump said to do by any means.
