Capitol LEGO set was still in the box?

I thought they used it to plan the entire thing?

Remember last week when The Daily Beast published a “scoop” revealing that one of the men charged in the January 6 Capitol riot had a “fully assembled” Lego model of the Capitol in his home? It turns out it wasn’t true; the man merely had the unopened box set.

“Federal investigators seized an unusual piece of evidence from a Pennsylvania man indicted last month for his role in the Capitol riot — a Lego replica of the building he allegedly stormed,” The Daily Beast originally reported. “Robert Morss, 27, is accused of leading fellow rioters in what prosecutors say was ‘one of the most intense and prolonged clashes’ with officers on Jan. 6.”

But in a new court filing, highlighted by Julie Kelly of American Greatness, it is said that the original detention memoranda, which denied bail Morss of Pennsylvania, was inaccurate.

“In original detention memoranda, the undersigned stated that law enforcement found a ‘fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.’ That statement appears to be inaccurate. The Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search,” the new filing says.

This is political detention akin to the worst regimes in the history of the world. Holding people for months on end for non-violent crimes based on faulty evidence or complete lies

They didn't embellish the story. It really was used in court filings to keep him locked up without bail.

Notice the pattern.

Story is 'broken', talking heads all lap it up, as fact, rebroadcast to the citizens, and it becomes ' truth'.

Next topic...

Oh, btw... that lego thing ? Not as it was reported. Which changes the narrative, vastly.

But no follow up. No 'circling back' to the story, because it's " old news " now.

They lied ONCE AGAIN. Which should tell us all if you ever have dealings with the FBI, NOT ONE WORD TO THEM. Well maybe three. Call my attorney.

They truly are the American Stasi. Cannot be trusted.

This begs a question. Was the Capitol gift shop open during the rioting?

Right. The original court filing said it was completed. To be fair to the Daily Beast, one would expect court filings to be honest.
