The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

So. Has anybody retracted their “beaten to death with a fire extinguisher” statements yet?

No.

I can provide links if anybody needs. Then they can make any retractions they feel is appropriate.

Don't hold your breath.

I’m not sure ‘the blow from the fire hydrant wasn’t what actually killed him’ is quite as exculpatory as some of you seem to think.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Who’s we? TNCR or investigators? As for the former I think all we know is that it was described by witnesses.

I'd say no blunt force trauma is pretty fucking exculpatory.

Investigators have determined any fire extinguisher episode is not relevant to his death . They said it is not true.
Now they are looking at bear spray. I heard it might not even be him who was hit.
How’s that for corroborated reporting at the time?
-
In a significant breakthrough in the case, investigators have now pinpointed a person seen on video of the riot who attacked several officers with bear spray, including Officer Sicknick, according to the officials. And video evidence shows that the assailant discussed attacking officers with the bear spray beforehand, one of the officials said.
While investigators narrowed potential suspects seen in video footage to a single person this week, they have yet to identify the assailant by name.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment.Irritants like bear spray, pepper spray and mace are considered to be nonlethal crowd control deterrents, but they can cause physical reactions that could create risks for people with underlying health conditions and disorientation that could lead to injury.
On Jan. 7, when Officer Sicknick died, the Capitol Police issued a statement that said he “was injured while physically engaging with protesters,” and then “returned to his division office and collapsed.” He succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

I wonder what 'pinpointed' means exactly? They have his identity?
Seems like if they knew his whereabouts he'd already be in custody.
I wonder if he's in hiding.

From the CNN story:
In a statement late Friday, the US Capitol Police noted that the medical examiner's report on Sicknick's death wasn't finished yet: "We are awaiting toxicology results and continue to work with other government agencies regarding the death investigation."
Probably trying to figure out if they can pin him for murdering a police officer or just assaulting one (or several).
-
From that same CNN piece:
More than 100 other police officers were injured in the melee last month, including at least 15 who required hospitalization, according to court documents.

I haven't seen anything contradicting the testimony, have you?
