President Donald Trump was impeached for inciting a mob to object to Joe Biden's election. QAnon supporters including Jacob Chansley were among the rioters.

But Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, during a press conference later Friday undercut the idea that there is evidence of assassination plots by the rioters.

While that statement "may very well be appropriate at a trial of Mr. Chansley and may very well characterize the evidence and his intent that day," the prosecutor said that for the purpose of the bail hearing "we do not want to mislead the court by discussing the strength of any sort of specific evidence."

Prosecutors said that when the FBI questioned Chansley about the meaning of his words, he "went on a lengthy diatribe describing current and past United States political leaders as infiltrators, specifically naming Vice President Mike Pence." "'For sure I'd want to be there, as a protestor, as a protestor, f--' a,'" he said, according to the filing.

"Chansley has described his routine use of psychedelic drugs, including mushrooms and peyote, in recorded interviews on his podcast," the filing said.

"He was a figure they would come to recognize — Jacob Chansley, the QAnon follower in a Viking outfit who was photographed last week shouting from the dais of the Senate chamber," ProPublica reported about the women, Melissa Byrne and Chibundu Nnake.

I’m confused. CNN posted at the same time that the DOJ has taken back assertions that the rioters planned any assassinations. Do you need more time for research?

CoandaThomas Put him in the zoo, so we can feed him with some bananas .....

The federal prosecutor in Washington disagrees with your headline

Lock him up

It’s all fun and games until you don’t make bail.

This is already out of date and wrong.

CNBC is getting more creative these years to come up with sensation stories!!!

Wonder how other prisoners view a traitor?

Finally one of them is held without bail. It sounds like the rest have bonded out by now.
