Federal prosecutors appear to be moving toward a close encounter with reality in their attempts to prosecute some of those who were at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 when some protesters turned into rioters and broke windows, doors and did other vandalism.
A new report from PJMedia now reveals how the foundations for some cases is shaking.
The report profiled the case involving Thomas Edward Caldwell, whose lawyer now has asked a federal judge to move the case out of "Trump-hating" Washington, D.C. He was the first protester to be arrested after the events that included a police officer shooting and killing an unarmed woman.
The report went on: "The defense motion claims that prosecutors 'knowingly disseminated false and incendiary claims' that Caldwell and others planned to sack the Capitol and 'execute' people when they had no evidence for it - not even after conducting a 'cyber colonoscopy' on cell phones and computers. There was no 'plan,' Caldwell's attorney claims. That allegation was based on 'a rumor started by government bureaucrats attempting to cover up their incompetent leadership.'".
Prosecutors have, in his case, made claims, and then backed away, several times.
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin also gave a "Reckless" interview about the case that implied sedition charges could be coming, the report said.
Among many others, those "Prosecutorial whoppers" mean the case needs to be moved, the defense contends.
