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 (R-Calif.) — 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.
The footage aired by Carlson earlier this month showed Chansley walking through Capitol hallways accompanied by police officers, who at some moments appeared to be facilitating his movements — even opening a Senate-wing door for him at one point — and certainly weren’t trying to subdue him. But the clips didn’t indicate what time of day the footage came from or any of the context about the interactions. [...] But Carlson omitted footage of Chansley’s entry into the Capitol, which came amid the earliest wave of rioters overrunning police, as well as footage from a lengthy standoff with police outside the Senate, and Chansley’s own trip inside the Senate chamber, where he stood on the Senate dais, recited a prayer and wrote an ominous message to then-Vice President Mike Pence: “It’s only a matter of time. Justice is coming.” [...] Prosecutors emphasized that U.S. Capitol Police officers had been overwhelmed at that point in the riot, resorting to triage to minimize the damage of the riot.
“For a period that afternoon, those defending the Capitol were in triage mode — trying to deal with the most violent element of those unlawfully present, holding those portions of the Capitol that had not yet been seized by rioters, and protecting those Members and staffers who were still trapped in the Capitol,” prosecutors wrote.

He's practically the perfect maga candidate! He served his time and he apologized. That makes it all better.
Just have to check his background to see if he's sexually assaulted anyone. MAGA and Republicans love that.
What church does he go to?

On Thursday evening, the House January 6 Select Committee will begin a series of televised hearings. The surface goal: Simply provide a narrative for what happened on that day. The committee is promising to “present previously unseen material documenting January 6th … and provide the American people a summary of its findings about the coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and prevent the transfer of power.”
But the underlying goal is larger and more diffuse: Show Americans how involved President Donald Trump was, and why we should care about one party’s complete and utter rejection of democratic norms. But it will be no easy task convincing a now sizable group of Republicans that democracy matters. In the 17 months since January 6, Americans on the right have hardened against reality: 32% of American adults polled in January say that Trump has “no responsibility” for the riot that day—which, remember, started with Trump telling the crowd at the “Save America” rally, “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore … You will have an illegitimate president. That’s what you’ll have. And we can’t let that happen.”
Like a lot of Americans, I watched the riots on television—the smoke, the flash bangs, and the noise. I saw Adam Johnson smile for photographs in a Trump ski hat as he held up Nancy Pelosi’s podium. Johnson later got sentenced to 75 days in prison and 200 hours of community service, and was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. I saw the bare-chested, fur-hat-clad “QAnon Shaman,” Jacob Chansley, standing on the floor of the Senate chamber, shouting through a bullhorn. In November, Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison. His lawyer told the court that he was “horrendously smitten” with Trump, who continues to live in comfort at his Palm Beach club, where he plays golf and frequents the omelet bar and plots his return to public life.
And we’re still handing down punishments to January 6’s foot soldiers. On Monday, Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the far-right Proud Boys, and four of his followers were charged with seditious conspiracy (conspiring to overthrow the government or prevent the execution of U.S. law). The Watergate burglars were charged and sent to jail, and President Richard Nixon was pardoned—but at least Nixon resigned, thus creating the appearance of contrition. Then again, Nixon didn’t have Fox News counterprogramming coverage of his disgrace.
Speaking of conservative counterprogramming: CNN’s Brian Stelter tweeted on Monday that “Fox’s top news anchors will be moved over to the Fox Business Network, and they will cover the hearing there. At 8pm ET on an ordinary night, Fox News has more than 3 million viewers, while Fox Business has under 100,000. That pretty much says it all about Fox’s priorities.” Fox News is no stranger to covering congressional hearings and scandals. In the 20 months after Benghazi, Fox ran almost 1,100 segments on it. But Fox knows an armed insurrection is bad for the Republican brand, so it’s planning to memory-hole these new hearings. And Republicans and the other conservative media are already doing the same. Senator Bill Hagerty and Senator Ted Cruz have both been tweeting about drugs being “seized” at the border. The New York Post (owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp) is surfacing another video of Hunter Biden.
Even the theoretically liberal New York Times ran a headline loudly announcing that the “Jan. 6 Hearings Give Democrats a Chance to Recast Midterm Message.” But the hearings aren’t partisan (there are even two Republicans on the committee). The partisan framing distracts from what’s really at stake: democracy. It also diminishes the events of January 6. Isn’t the armed insurrection more meaningful than midterm messaging? Why are the two being muddled in the first place? Isn’t a coup news enough? But the false equivalencies will almost certainly continue to run wild.
But I believe it’s still possible to change hearts and minds, and the January 6 Committee—unlike former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who struggled through the 2019 congressional hearings about his report on Trump—understands sound bites, some of which might even penetrate the right-wing echo chamber. It’s crucial that the mainstream media not call a strike before the committee is done and the information it presents is allowed to permeate a few news cycles. Republicans will cast the committee as slanted, but a pro-democracy bias is—or should be—anything but partisan.

Only Dumbasses Believe Fact-Checkers!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elon Musk is 100% correct. Jacob Chansley is completely innocent. Leftists, Commies & Democrats will lie to you & say he deserves prison time. Anyone who is dumb enough to believe the fact-checkers, are either completely brainwashed or braindead. The evidence proves that the cops acted as a tour guide for Jacob Chansley.

A Hero's Welcome For A Traitor?
So, let me ask a question here:  If a man attempts, but fails, to murder your daughter, causing her grievous personal injury from which she may never fully recover, when he gets out of prison after serving for only a few months, will you give him a hero’s welcome?  No, I didn’t think so.  And yet, when a man attempts to murder the democracy of your nation, to render your vote null and void, he…
