With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". a general intent crime.” Gonyea, 140 F.3d at 654 (Citations omitted.) Id. at 808-09. By the same token, the additional, specific intent requirement in 18 U.S.C. § 115(a)(1)(B) differentiates that statute from 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1).

Indeed, we have assumed the requirement of specific intent in numerous opinions, both published and unpublished, involving § 115 prosecutions. See, e.g., United States v. Snelenberger, 24 F.3d 799, 803 (6th Cir.1994) (<HOLDING>), overruled on other grounds in United States
