* During the press conference announcing the arrest of alleged assassin Vance Boelter, Minnesota’s Superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Drew Evans told reporters that Illinoisans were on the list compiled by the alleged Minnesota assassin. When asked if others in states beyond Minnesota were on the list…

I don’t want to say it, because it won’t be exhaustive, but Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, some others that were on there. There was a variety in Nebraska, Iowa.

* Gov. JB Pritzker said this today in response to a question about Evans’ comment. Rush transcript…

Let me begin by saying that, no, there is not a hit list that has Illinois politicians on it. There was a list, as you may recall, that was in the car that was recovered before they arrested the perpetrator.
And that list was referred to as a hit list. It has Minnesota politicians, as I understand it, on it, about 70 of them.

Later, as the FBI and the Minnesota police were going to the various locations that this man lived, they recovered devices and other papers that had on them 600 names, more than 600 names, more of a hodgepodge. It wasn’t a list of 600. It was literally like a few people here, a few people there, websites that he had visited, etc.

And they put all that together, and I think out of a desire to be responsive to the media and to other inquiries, the FBI decided to put out the list, or at least the the information about the list, again, a hodgepodge of names that were put together, but not, as I have been told, a ‘hit list’ of any sort. And… the people who were among that very large list were not targeted in any way.

There are Illinois folks, like Iowa and others, but very few, and the again, no one, the FBI specifically said to me that these people are not targets, and they certainly, now that he has been apprehended, are they’re not concerned about those people being targeted in any way whatsoever.

Pritzker also said, “As I understand, I was not on that list.”
