Prosecutors say newly aired Chansley footage paints misleading portrait of his Jan. 6 conduct



Prosecutors on Sunday rejected the notion that newly public footage of Jacob Chansley — known as the QAnon Shaman — accompanied by police in the Capitol undercuts his criminal conduct on Jan. 6, 2021.

In their first response since Fox News’ Tucker Carlson aired the footage — supplied to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy — prosecutors indicated that Carlson aired footage only from a four-minute period toward the end of Chansley’s hourlong trip through the Capitol, omitting the most incriminating aspects of his conduct.

“The televised footage shows Chansley’s movements only from approximately 2:56 p.m. to 3:00 p.m,” prosecutors said in a 10-page court filing connected to the seditious conspiracy trial of five Proud Boys leaders, including Dominic Pezzola, who used a riot shield to initiate the breach of the Capitol.

“Prior to that time, Chansley had, amongst other acts, breached a police line at 2:09 p.m. with the mob, entered the Capitol less than one minute behind Pezzola during the initial breach of the building, and faced off with members of the U.S. Capitol Police for more than thirty minutes in front of the Senate Chamber doors while elected officials, including the Vice President of the United States, were fleeing from the chamber,” they continued.

5. Chansley was very contrite when he entered his guilty plea.

At his guilty plea proceeding, he spoke for a half hour and apologized profusely. He entered his plea to the charge of obstructing Congress. Other charges were dropped as part of the deal (He was carrying a pointed flag staff, and he was shouting through a bullhorn at the fore of the mob which stormed the Capitol.) He was sentenced to about four years. The airing of the footage by Carlson, and the re-airing of it by Newsmax, is intended to fire up the right-wing viewership. In my view, Chansley is not going to attempt to withdraw his plea.
