On Thursday, The Conservative Brief reported the following:
Jacob Chansley, who became infamous for being referred to as the “QAnon Shaman” from the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been released from prison.
Chansley pleaded guilty in November 2021 to one felony charge regarding his involvement with the Capitol riot and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
His lawyer, Bill Shipley, early Thursday morning: “For the record: Jake is out on schedule. I told him 16 months ago in our first conversation it would be Feb. or Mar. 2023. BOP math. I didn’t do anything extraordinary–this was always the schedule, I just understood it and could explain it to him. He was expecting 12 more mos.”
But this is why the trust level between us is solid. I told him the truth, and I told him what would happen. We made several decisions after long discussions. He’s exactly where we both expected he would be. The Tucker revelations are significant but Jake can’t get the time back. Understanding the schedule, we agreed to not rush our next step. Let’s get accurate info on the videos, evaluate our options, then make a plan. I could have rushed it out and run to the cameras. But that wasn’t the right choice,” he added in subsequent tweets.
The arrest of Jacob Chansley and his treatment in jail were unconstitutional from the start. The tapes shown on Tucker Carlson Tonight simply underlined that problem. None of the January 6th prisoners have been granted the speedy trials or the right to confront their accusers that are supposedly guaranteed by our Constitution.
I am glad that Mr. Chansley is out of jail, but the fact that he was in jail and the fact that he and the other prisoners were treated so horribly is a disgrace to America.
