U.S. Attorney for Colorado Troy Eid - a 2006 Bush appointee - refused to prosecute 3 for elaborate Obama assassination plot, but is prosecuting fully the man who sent non-hazardous powder and threatening letter to McCain. 9Wants to Know has learned three men in Denver discussed assassinating U.S. Sen. Barack Obama during the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera. Nathan Johnson’s girlfriend, whom 9NEWS is not naming because she’s a juvenile, said “it would have to be a suicide mission,” according to federal court records. Johnson, Shawn Adolf and Tharin Gartrell all thought that Obama had a suite in the third floor of the Hyatt hotel, where they were staying. The men were doing methamphetamine inside the hotel with two women on Aug. 23 discussing the plot to kill Obama, according to federal records. Adolf said, “It would not matter if he killed Senator Obama because police would simply add a murder charge to his pending charges,” according to the records. There were seven outstanding warrants for Adolf’s arrest… Based on the evidence, FBI special agent Robert Sawyer first believed there was probable cause to believe the men were conspiring to kill Obama. However, U.S. Attorney Troy Eid last week said that further investigation revealed insufficient evidence to indicate a “true threat,” plot or conspiracy against the senator. The men were charged with various weapons and/or drug charges.
