Turley Raises a Big Question about J6 Chansley Case, Then Elon Drops a Bombshell Video

2023-03-12

[REDSTATE] The questions surrounding the case of Jacob Chansley — the guy known as the "QAnon Shaman"Jake Chansley

... also known as Jake Angeli and Jacob Angeli — when his mother was displeased he got the full Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley. His defense lawyer said he has Asperger's syndrome, and pointed to the diagnosis of schizotypal personality disorder that was part of his discharge file after a brief period wearing the uniform...

— have gotten more traction since Tucker Carlson began raising the issue on his show. Carlson raised questions about the video showing Chansley being led around the Capitol building by multiple coppers. They don’t stop him; they even open doors for him. After they lead him to the Senate chamber, he says a prayer for their help on the Senate floor.

Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison for pleading guilty to "obstruction of an official proceeding." He never hurt anyone, that wasn’t even alleged.

Chansley’s attorneys said that this video was not turned over to them. Had it been turned over, it certainly could have factored into his defense to such a charge.

Plus, if the prosecution was in fact aware of this video, then they would have had a legal obligation to turn it over to the defense.

George Washington law professor Jonathan Turley is weighing in now on the issue, on reports that the FBI

did have the video.

They showed videos of Chansley yelling at the crowd. But what they didn’t show was this kind of video, of him peacefully walking around with the officers not threatening anyone. It showed that he wasn’t the character being portrayed to the judge in his case, which may have factored into why he got such a stiff sentence for non-~~violent~~ mostly peaceful action.

Not only does Chansley have Carlson and Turley asking questions about his case, but now he has Twitter owner Elon Musk as well. Musk commented on the video that Carlson had shown about Chansley on his show, showing him being guided around by the police.

"Chansley got 4 years in prison for a non-~~violent~~ mostly peaceful, police-escorted tour!?" Musk said. He then observed the difference between the sentence Chansley got and that given to the guy who attacked comedian Dave Chapelle [sic], "Dave Chapelle was ~~violent~~ mostly peacefully assaulted on stage by a guy with a knife. That guy got a $3,000 fine & no prison time."

But then Musk highlighted a video that was a bit of a bombshell and raises even more questions in the case. It shows Jacob Chansley outside of the building, with a bullhorn, appearing to be encouraging people to "go home," quoting what Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
had said on social media.

#6 #4: yes! yes! yes! The central gov't should be in central U.S. Reps & Sens should stay mostly at home and vote/confab over gov't supplied secure lines. The museums, galleries,etc can remain in DC . All voting, in person, and on paper. counted by machines with NO external links.

#5 He was facing a hostile judge and jury. The government had failed to provide Brady material. The Molotov lawyers got a year and a day. There was plenty of fault here, but none, in my opinion, belongs to the defense lawyers. We have a two tiered justice system. We have GOP politicians that are facilitating railroading the prisoners and suppressing the video.

#4 Want to stop school shootings? Stop putting fish in a barrel.

Want to prevent another J6? Distribute the gummint. So away with what the FBI calls SOG (Seat of Government)

#3 I think Chansley's attorney gave him good advice. Look at the insane sentences some other J6ers have gotten.

Of course, he was guilty of nothing deserving the sentence he got.

#2 His attorney at the time convinced him to plead guilty and waive the right to an appeal. The attorney should be sued for malpractice.
