BIG Update on Q Anon Shaman Case After Tucker Airs Bombshell Video of Capitol Police Escort
"My client, Jake Chansley, was a big part of Tucker's first big rollout of video tonight. There is a story beyond just the fact that the Govt had video Jake's attorney never looked at."
There are new legal developments being reported in the case of Jacob Chansley, aka the QAnon Shaman, following a bombshell video aired on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday.
Tucker Carlson aired the never-before-seen January 6 video showing Chansley was escorted through the Capitol building by police when he was in the building.
A former federal prosecutor representing J6 clients revealed that Chansley very well may be released from custody soon.
"My client, Jake Chansley, was a big part of Tucker's first big rollout of video tonight," said his attorney on Twitter. "There is a story beyond just the fact that the Govt had video Jake's attorney never looked at. Jake is set to be released from custody soon."
"He's going to tell his story," the lawyer continued. "But Jake has also committed himself to helping me raise money so I can get into cases for J6 defendants earlier than I was able to get into his. I've spend 20 or more hours talking to Jake by phone."
"He's a very interesting young man and I look forward to meeting him in person," he added. "It is quite fortuitous that these videos are coming out around the same time as he might first be able to address them himself."
"This is the way I'm able to help Jake -- I've never asked him for a singe dollar [sic] -- and other J6 defendants," he said while posting a GiveSendGo link. "Generous contributors are helping them."
Tucker in his segment pointed out that Chansley had been described as a "dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in outlandish costume who led the violent insurrection to overthrow American democracy for these crimes."
"Chansley was sentenced to nearly four years in prison," he added. "Far more time than many violent criminals now receive."
"What did Jacob Chanley do to receive this punishment?" he continued. "To this day, there is dispute over how Chanley got into the Capitol building, but according to our review of the internal surveillance video, it is very clear what happened once he got inside."
"Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape. The tape show that Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides."
"Here's video of Chanley in the Senate Chamber," he went on. "Capitol Police officers take him to multiple entrances and even try to open locked doors for him. We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chanley. Not one of them even tried to slow him down. Chanley understood that Capitol Police were his allies. Video shows him giving thanks for them in a prayer on the floor of the Senate." Watch:
This January 6 video, and the 44,000 other hours of footage like it, undoubtedly contains a plethora of exculpatory evidence for J6 political prisoners.
In an update, the J6 prisoners attorney under the Twitter handle ‘shipwreckedcrew’ provided more information about how this footage may have been kept from the defense in several cases.
“Re Tucker and videos. One very important clarification. Yes, DOJ made a database of videos available to defense attorneys in filed cases. BUT ... DOJ could only put into the database what Congress gave DOJ,” he wrote.
”If Congress/Pelosi held back video then DOJ would not have it to put in the database,” he continued. “All videos from body worn cameras of USCP and CCTV are the property of Congress, not DOJ.”
“That is a separation of powers issue,” he added. “Whether DOJ was obligated by Brady to get videos from Congress was litigated, and Judges held that DOJ didn't have any way to force Congress to produce videos it didn't want to produce, even if they were Brady material.”
“Regardless of what media members say, it is not possible to say definitively right now that defense attorneys did -- in fact -- have all the videos that Tucker/Fox is showing,” he went on. “McCarthy says he gave Fox everything. That might include videos not given to DOJ by Pelosi/Cong. Dems.”
Indeed, Judicial Watch sued to have the videos released in early 2022, because the Pelosi-led Congress was claiming sovereign immunity to keep them from the public.
“Judicial Watch announced that it filed an opposition to the U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) effort to shut down Judicial Watch’s federal lawsuit for January 6 videos and emails,” the legal watchdog group announced. “Through its police department, Congress argues that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that “sovereign immunity” prevents citizens from suing for their release.”
Now we know why Pelosi and the partisan J6 committee wanted to keep the videos secret. It wasn’t because of national security concerns. It was because full transparency would deal a tremendous blow to the Democrats’ J6 “insurrection” narrative.
In summary, the Feds knowingly let extremists carry out a riot to smear peaceful Trump supporters as violent insurrectionists. This was a deliberate fed op to sabotage election objections and to stop Trump from ever running for president again.
The gaslighting is over. There needs to be hell to pay for the partisan J6 committee that misled Americans to cover up a fed op to frame Trump supporters for an ‘insurrection.’
On Jan 6 evening, I saw the same Shaman video aired on Fox News. Beyond criminal is that the “absent” footage allowed harm to this man.
It seems to me, that with the number of cameras on the grounds and in the Capital, that every defense attorney should be able to show a video of every defendant, seamlessly, during the entire event.
That would be a pretty powerful tool for the defense to appeal the past convictions, and for any cases still pending.
