'QAnon Shaman' feels betrayed -- and is now willing to testify against Trump: report

[marmar]

On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that the self-styled "QAnon Shaman" who was seen in pictures of the Capitol riot wearing horns and red, white, and blue face paint is willing to testify against former President Donald Trump — because he feels "betrayed" he didn't receive a pardon for what he thought was following Trump's orders.

Jacob Chansley, of Arizona, is accused of breaking into the Senate chamber and leaving a threatening message for former Vice President Mike Pence — who became a target of the rioters' wrath due to his refusal to overturn the election certification using a fringe legal theory.

"Lawyer Albert Watkins said he hasn't spoken to any member in the Senate since announcing his offer to have Jacob Chansley testify at Trump's trial, which is scheduled to begin the week of Feb. 8. Watkins said it's important for senators to hear the voice of someone who was incited by Trump," said the report. "Watkins said his client was previously 'horrendously smitten' by Trump but now feels let down after Trump's refusal to grant Chansley and others who participated in the insurrection a pardon. 'He felt like he was betrayed by the president,' Watkins said." .........................(more)

1. Buyer's remorse

[Goodheart]

2. To be fair, he WAS betrayed

Play with snakes and you'll get bitten.

3. What can that idiot offer other than he is an idiot that has a nak for

walking around in a clown’s outfit. It would be a disgrace to invite that idiot to testify.

14. Indeed, what can he tell us that we don't already have on videotape?

[TwilightZone]

4. "what he thought was following Trump's orders"

Yeah, that's not going to fly in court. Or anywhere, for that matter.

[Submariner]

5. He must be angling for a spot on "The Bachelor"

Hang in there ladies of Qanon, after he gets out of prison he may the stud muffin of your dreams

[Faux pas]

6. It's

all fun and games until somebody get arrested

7. Dude, you're not much of a shaman if you couldn't see that coming.

12. Ha! Right?

Stewing in jail works for me.

8. I'm sure he knows all...

Maybe he can have a seance and talk to the Kraken.

9. They are ALL fucking stupid

11. Bullshit

Fool me once Shaman on you.

Fool me twice Shaman on me.

[Mr. Ected]

13. After his release in 2039

He won't be the shaman he is today.

15. This might be his only way to reduce that sentence.

And if he's testifying under oath at the Impeachment hearing, it's a slam dunk that they will use that testimony in a criminial trial against tRump if they have one. It's reasonable to assume that that's already in the works. And you know that others are rolling on their fearless leader who abandoned them with no get-out-of-jail-free pass. This makes me very hopeful that the ducks are lining up for an eventual indictment of tRump and the other top organizers of the Insurrection. This needs to happen. Go DOJ.

You chose to do what you did. We don’t need your traitorous ass.
