Elon Musk: Capitol rioter QAnon Shaman must be freed from prison

2023-03-13

[Jerusalem Post] The US Capitol rioter known as QAnon Shaman should be freed from prison, Elon Musk said in a Friday night tweet, arguing that the convicted criminal was "falsely portrayed" in the media.

Jacob Chansley, known as QAnon Shaman for his horned headdress, was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his documented involvement in the Capitol insurrection led by supporters of then-US president Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.

MUSK PRAISES QANON SHAMAN'S CONDUCT IN NEW VIDEOS
The owner of Twitter called for Chansley's release in a reply to a video circulating on social media which claims to show the QAnon Shaman calling on other rioters to go home, as "we have made our point," as he is heard saying in the video.

JUST IN: Censored video re-emerges of Jacob Chansley reading Trump’s tweet, telling protestors to GO HOME and remain peaceful..

WON’T SEE THIS ON CNN…

#6 ^ Glen - not so much. If he was coerced due to withholding Brady info....

#5 His problem is that he pled guilty and waived appeal; that it was under duress and fraudulent conditions is irrelevant in the criminal court but I guess he could sue his lawyer and others in civil court.

#4 He's pretty much done serving his sentence. Who does he petition to get his time served back? GOP? LMAO. Folks still think we're operating under the Old Rules. Good luck with that, and even that won't help you.

#3 Everyone assumed that Chansley was an idiot. He will get out, do lots of interviews and it will be confirmed that he is an idiot. Chansley is also innocent. His sentence was 4 times that of the Molotov lawyers in who’s case the government might as well have joined the defense team. In Chansley’s case the government broke the law and withheld evidence he was entitled to have. The DOJ is works against the people’s interest in all cases.

#2 My understanding is he gets out on parole in July at 50% of sentencing for good behavior.

#1 Maybe there's a video of Ray Epps urging him to go inside for selfies?
