SASSE weighs in on the capture-and-kill intent of some of the insurrectionists ... minutes after prosecutors in DC say they don’t have “direct” evidence of this yet (contradicting an AZ prosecutor who said they did yesterday).
NEW: Federal Prosecutors are walking back a claim that the Capitol insurrectionists had a "capture-and-kill" plan for Pence and lawmakers. There's no "direct evidence," they say, despite a Thursday filing describing "strong" evidence.

@joshgerstein This doesn't preclude new and alarming details from comign out — however the evidence isn't developed to make this assertion. And they've foreshadowed more alarming evidence, including of possible seditious conspiracy, to come. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
@joshgerstein Prosecutors may have said today they had no "direct" evidence of a capture-and-kill plan by some of the insurrectionists. But many witnesses keep describing exactly that.

JUST IN: Remember zip-tie guy in the Senate, Eric Munchel? The FBI just arrested his mom, Lisa Eisenhart, who accompanied him.

justice.gov/file/1355811/d… Image
According to the statement of the facts, EISENHART also had flex cuffs and was part of a mob that chased police officers inside the Capitol. Image
SIGNIFICANT: Munchel and Eisenhart aren't just being charged for their actions on Jan. 6. They're being charged with *conspiracy* with "persons known and unknown" to authorities >>> Image

NEW: FBI urges Capitol insurrection suspects to turn themselves in because "every FBI field office in the country" is looking for them, and friends/family are turning people in.
"If this investigation was a football game, we'd still be in the first quarter," says FBI's Steven D'antuono
FBI dodges question on whether allegations about some lawmakers —that they were involved in the insurrection — are being investigated.

PELOSI: "Right now, our [impeachment] managers are solemnly and prayerfully preparing for the trial, which they will take to the Senate."
NEWS: Pelosi says she has "asked Ret. Lt. General Russel Honore to lead an immediate review of security infrastructure" at the Capitol ahead of the inauguration.
PELOSI on rioter wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt:

"To see this punk with that shirt on and his anti-semitism that he has bragged about to be part of a white supremacist raid on this capitol requires us to have an after-action review."

Federal prosecutors, for the first time, described the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol as part of a broad, ongoing “insurrection movement,” powered by Qanon adherents and others who intend to capture and kill lawmakers. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
The description was lodged in a Thursday filing attempting to deny bail to the so-called “Q Shaman,” Jacob Chansley. My late-night thread on this with more details:
But more importantly, read the filing itself — and juxtapose it with the president’s initial response to the ongoing attack, while insurrectionists were beating police and attempting a government overthrow —“We love you.” courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEWS: Prosecutors edged closer to alleging sedition Thursday, warning in a new filing that the Jan. 6 Capitol assault was part of a violent — and ongoing — attempt to overthrow the U.S. government.

w/ @joshgerstein

politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
@joshgerstein The filing, urging a judge to deny bail to "Q Shaman" Jacob Chansley, say Chansley is "an active participant in—and has made
himself the most prominent symbol of—a violent insurrection."

politico.com/news/2021/01/1…
@joshgerstein Though the filing focuses on Chansley, it also spells out clearly the government’s view of an ongoing “insurrection movement” that is reaching a potential climax as Biden’s inauguration approaches.
