D.C. attorney general: storming the Capitol has no “direct evidence” of attempts to kidnap and kill lawmakers

In a statement obtained by The Hill, anti-Trump faux-Republican Sen. Ben Sasse (R-N.Y.) called on “every American” to reflect on reports of mob attempts to kidnap or kill members of Congress. Every American needs to know what the Justice Department just made public: Investigators have ample evidence that some of the thugs who attacked the U.S. Capitol planned to kidnap and assassinate the vice president. “

But now even Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Sherwin says there is no “direct evidence” of attempts to kidnap and kill lawmakers in the riots that stormed the Capitol.
