Rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6 intended to "capture and assassinate elected officials," federal prosecutors said in court documents filed late Thursday. The contention is the latest and most alarming claim from law enforcement addressing the threat posed by the mob that descended on Congress during the count of the state-certified Electoral College vote of President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. The recent court filing centers on Jacob Anthony Chansley, also known as "Jake Angeli" and the "QAnon Shaman," who led part of the riot.

This is what happens when, after months and months of rioting and terrorism against the public with no pushback, they go for the gold.

You are basing your case of the insane ramblings of a guy who dresses up like a World of Warcraft character and spouts out idiocy about defeating sorcerers with his "Quantum energy."??? Good luck with that.

That guy was desperate for attention for his social media posts. Hard leftist - chanter, really chanted to stop "globull warming". Who paid for his trip from Arizona? He must have thought it was a swell gig, until he was arrested. My bet is he posts relentlessly on social media to keep his 15 minutes of fame alive, and before he testifies on anything he goes all in for room temperature gymnastics.

Chanley/Angeli is obviously a nutcase. But if this article is accurate (USA Today is an iffy source) they could have problems.
Chansley was arrested by the Phoenix FBI after sitting down for an interview with prosecutors. Chansley was unaware at the time of the interview that there was a warrant for his arrest.
Prosecutors argue that Chansley must be detained due to his past criminal record and belief in harmful conspiracies like QAnon, as well as his belief that he is an alien, which may indicate "serious risks that he will flee and obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice.”

Sounds like a waste of perfectly good ammunition that could be used to make holes in pieces of paper.

Here's the problem with that idea. Kidnap most of these Congresscritters and the kidnappers would have to pay to give most of them back.

Did they capture any of them? I guess they'd better hope none of those guards in the Capitol are agitators. How is it they feel so safe with them there all armed and stuff? I thought they hated the military.

BS. If that crowd wanted to get to any Congress person, they would have done it. There weren't enough police and protection to keep them away.

If they had meant to, with over a million behind them, it would have happened.
Strawman.
Just another lie from their lying mouths.

These prosecutors are the ones that will be presenting the cases of those arrested to the biased and crooked courts of the District of Columbia. Those people are in a world of hurt.

The swamp media are systematically portraying the January 6 incident at the Capitol like it was another Iranian embassy takeover, when it seemed more like another Code Pink chambers protest (but with people in slightly better physical condition than the pink-shirted blobs).
