Pretty sure they've already walked that walk back back, anyway, or near enough to it. There's been indication to disregard public statements to that effect, but also statement officials believe they can prove in court that exactly that happened. Nevermind that the actual statement doesn't indicate that there wasn't people there trying to kidnap and/or murder politicians, just that there's currently no strong indication there were organized groups involved... or that sherwin's probably about as trustworthy as the existence of my tortiseshell cat's left nut on anything related to trump.

The last week or so has been hectic as hell for the DoJ and co, and they weren't exactly running on all cylinders beforehand, ha. We'll have to see how things go, especially once the shitgibbon and company is proper kicked out.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

US now says no direct evidence of kill/capture teams at US capitol
That Aljazeera article is too brief and so it is misleading. This Bloomberg Quicktake has better info in the poster's comment about the video:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So, during the denial-of-bail process, the prosecutors mentioned kill/capture groups and that mention was what they retracted. The guys with the zip-tie restraints are likely to face different charges.

Figures. How many videos do we have of people with zip ties and calling for death and hunting people down? There was obviously, without a doubt, people trying to kill and capture.

This is explicitly a "any announcements are premature" thing, because a top official had diarrhea of the mouth. Right now the Feds are most concerned with preventing a recurrence and on the huge number of arrests (over 200 last I saw, with hundreds more cases being opened), and not particularly concerned with public statements. Particularly when those public statements might encourage people to stop broadcasting mycrimes.txt to the world.

Trump has ordered (EOed?) almost all the 'travel bans' lifted - not China/Iran, surprise surprise, but all the others.

Though it seems that the administration will be saving Biden the effort of adding that to his own current list of intended EOing reversals (Paris, etc), and other necessary adjustments, by just ignoring that and continuing with whatever they're doing right now until they officially learn/can implement what Biden wants.

(This may be one of the 18th/19th preinaugaral things I predicted would happen. But I'd be surprised if it's all there'll be.)

Biden's response was basically "hah lol no" and that he'd reverse the order to preserve pandemic-limiting travel bans.

Meanwhile, patriotically trying to sell stolen intel to Russia, guess even the Trump supporters know who really pulls the strings?

Lmao makes sense, plenty of "hey kids wanna do federal crimes" posting on the internet

Meanwhile there are more troops in DC than in the Middle East.
Mega Fort Washington DC.
But DC doesn't even have a magma cannon. Are they even trying?

Wtf is going on, your capital looks like in the end of that horrible resident evil movie.

You too have sucumbed to the banana republic virus? Now it is the banana states of north America.

Is this your covoluted way to get your national football team on the Conmebol? (Shitty third rate politics and inestabilty seems a higher requirement than actually being in South America).

South American football league = conmebol

Also it's the football you do with your foot and not the football you do with your hand

It is highly poetic to see what goes around comes around. All of the CIA regime change tactics, the oligarchal control over politics, the pugnacious battles between populist strongmen and technocratic elites, the focus on blaming foreigners and restoring a democracy that never existed - exported worldwide, now returns to roost. The USA has finally invaded the USA to protect the USA from the USA

*EDIT
I was almost laffing reading the papers on the tube today. One of the people vetting the national guard deployed in DC for any White Nationalist, NeoNazi or Antigov double agents is a McCarthy. It's like being a McCarthy you are born to be a double agent hunter. Not only that:
Quote
There is an “anti-Democratic, hard-right sector of the GOP, which is difficult to quantify”, Hayden told Al Jazeera during the news conference. “They’re in bed with white nationalists, but they may not be white nationalists. That combination is really scary.”
Reminds me of the ultra hindsight of the German conservatives who thought they could control the NSDAP. It's like you guys managed to go all the way back to the 50s and then Tokyo drifted into the 30s, complete with economy implosion, a desire for economic autarky, American isolationism, a flu epidemic and a conservative-fascist alliance

Oh yeah and a beer hall putsch

*DOUBLE EDIT
This is 10 years old news but I thought it was cute
Quote
Biden told the magazine about his 2011 visit with Putin, who at the time was prime minister, and said he found himself just inches away from the Russian leader.

“I said, ‘Mr. Prime Minister, I’m looking into your eyes, and I don’t think you have a soul,’” Biden told the magazine. “He looked back at me, and he smiled, and he said, ‘We understand one another.’
