In a stunning reversal that no doubt left Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party, CNN, PMSNBC, The New York Times, et al. crestfallen, the Department of Justice late Friday walked back an earlier assertion that Capitol rioters planned to “capture and assassinate” Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other lawmakers.
The Justice Department official in charge of the investigation said there is no “direct evidence” of “kill and capture teams” among the pro-Trump rioters inside the Capitol.
Michael Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., referenced claims made in a court filing by federal prosecutors as part of their argument that Jake Chansley AKA: Jake Angeli, “The QAnon Shaman,” “Yellow Wolf” an Arizona man who sported a horned hat and face paint during the siege, should remain detained until his trial.

Judge denies bail for so-called ‘QAnon Shaman’
Jake Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, was arrested for his alleged involvement in the deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
PHOENIX - A judge in Phoenix has denied bail for an Arizona man known as the so-called QAnon Shaman, meaning he will remain in custody.
An indictment unsealed on Jan. 12 in Washington D.C. charges 33-year-old Jake Chansley, who is also known as Jake Angeli, with civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, disorderly conduct in a restricted building, and demonstrating in a Capitol building. It is unclear whether the charges are felonies or misdemeanors.
Prosecutors revealed in a court filing there's strong evidence the mob that stormed the Capitol last week wanted "to capture and assassinate elected officials."
