    This has blown up in the QAnon Shaman's face. The judge mocked Tucker Carson's fabricated broadcasts as well.

    QAnon Shaman's legal gambit blows up in his face as judge laments not giving him a harsher sentence

    A federal judge denied a request by so-called "QAnon Shaman" Jacob Chansley to vacate his guilty plea.

    U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth found that Chansley "quite sensibly" pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, saying the evidence against him was extraordinary, and said he was not persuaded by videos aired by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson from the U.S. Capitol riot, reported Politico's Kyle Cheney.



    "These videos are decidedly not exculpatory, especially when viewed in context with the "miles and miles of footage" recorded of Mr. Chansley on January 6, 2021," Lambert wrote. "Such footage, conveniently omitted by the March 6, 2023, program shows nearly all of Mr. Chansley's actions that day, including: carrying a six-foot long pole armed with a spearhead, unlawfully entering the Capitol through a broken door, disobeying orders from law enforcement on more than a half-dozen occasions, entering the Senate chamber, climbing onto the Senate dais, sitting in the Vice President's chair, and leaving a threatening message for the Vice President."

    Chansley was sentenced in November 2021 to 41 months in prison as part of the plea agreement but was released May 25, in part due to good behavior, but the judge said he would have sentenced him to a longer term if he had the opportunity today.

    Lambert singled out Carlson's broadcasts as "replete with misstatements and misrepresentations ... too numerous to count."

    All those insurrectionists want to be close to the guy that lost the 2020 U.S. Presidential elections especially when he calls them again to take action as he's been recently hinting if he is convicted and goes to prison for his crimes.

    Trump going to prison is a gift for DeSantis although he will not publicly rejoice about it for fear of losing the support of the MAGA crowd.

    Another violent insurrectionist locked up for several years. The sentence should have been much longer.

    Man who beat officer with flagpole during Capitol riot is sentenced to over 4 years in prison
    https://news.yahoo.com/man-beat-officer-flagpole-during-202209064.html

    An Arkansas truck driver who beat a police officer with a flagpole attached to an American flag during the U.S. Capitol riot was sentenced Monday to more than four years in prison.

    Peter Francis Stager struck the Metropolitan Police Department officer with his flagpole at least three times as other rioters pulled the officer, head first, into the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The bruised officer was among more than 100 police officers injured during the riot.

    Stager also stood over and screamed profanities at another officer, who was seriously injured when several other rioters dragged him into the mob and beat him, according to federal prosecutors.

    After the beatings, Stager was captured on video saying, “Every single one of those Capitol law enforcement officers, death is the remedy. That is the only remedy they get.”

    U.S. Judge Rudolph Contreras sentenced Stager to four years and four months in prison, according to a spokesperson for the prosecutors' office.

    Stager, 44, of Conway, Arkansas, pleaded guilty in February to a felony charge of assaulting police with a dangerous weapon.

    Prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of six years and six months.

    Stager assaulted the officer during one of the most violent episodes of Jan. 6 — a battle between rioters and police guarding an entrance to the Capitol building in a tunnel on the Lower West Terrace.

    Stager's actions at the Capitol “were the epitome of disrespect for the law,” prosecutors said in a court filing.

    “Stager joined a prolonged, multi-assailant attack on police officers, which resulted in injuries to the officers," they wrote. "Stager himself wielded a flagpole and used it to strike at a vulnerable officer, who, lying face down in a mob of rioters had no means of defending himself.”

    Stager's truck driving job took him to Washington, D.C., on the day before then-President Donald Trump's “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6. Stager stayed overnight to attend Trump's rally after delivering a load of produce, a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life, his lawyers said in a court filing.

    Stager's attorneys say he tried to help others in the crowd who were injured after the riot erupted. Shocked by what he saw, Stager had “reached his breaking point” and was “seeing red” when he picked up a flag on the ground, they said.

    “Once the adrenaline wore off, Mr. Stager immediately called his wife to tell her he was horrified by his actions and that he was going to turn himself in upon returning to Arkansas,” his lawyers wrote.

    More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 620 of them have pleaded guilty. Approximately 100 others have been convicted by juries or judges after trials. Nearly 600 have been sentenced, with over half receiving terms of imprisonment ranging from three days to 18 years.

    Stager was indicted with eight other defendants on charges related to the tunnel battle. Four of his co-defendants also have pleaded guilty to assault charges.

    Florida resident Mason Courson was sentenced in June to four years and nine months in prison. Michigan resident Justin Jersey was sentenced in February to four years and three months in prison. Michigan construction worker Logan Barnhart was sentenced in April to three years in prison. Georgia business owner Jack Wade Whitton is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 16.

    Feds arrest MAGA rioter falsely accused by Tucker Carlson of being a fed
    https://www.rawstory.com/capitol-rioter-arrest-2662680180/

    A Trump supporter accused by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson of being a federal agent back in 2021 has now been arrested for his role in the January 6th riots at the United States Capitol building.

    As flagged by NBC News reporter Ryan Reilly, the United States Department of Justice announced the arrest of Daniel Donnelly, Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri, whom prosecutors allege openly boasted about leading a mob to push against police officers outside the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

    "I took up a lot of space, and I had the rioter shield, and I was right up there, and for some reason, like, the other people up there on the front lines with me, they did something similar," Donnelly said in the video, according to his indictment. "It’s like they followed my lead, kind of, and it turned out to be a great strategy because the whole crowd was doing that, was able to push further than we had gotten the whole time, the entire time."

    As noted by Reilly on Twitter, Carlson said that Donnelly was "clearly a law enforcement officer" and had on a guest who made the same claim and said, "If I’m wrong, so be it, bro."

    Donnelly, who was not an undercover agent, has now been charged with attempting to obstruct law enforcement officers, with stealing government property, attempting to obstruct an official government proceeding, and engaging in disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds.

    This is why insurrectionists should be locked in jail with no bail and not allowed to have home detention. How many more examples do we need?

    Proud Boy on house arrest in Jan. 6 case disappears ahead of sentencing
    Authorities are searching for a member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before his sentencing in a U.S. Capitol riot case, where prosecutors are seeking more than a decade in prison, according to a warrant made public Friday.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities are searching for a member of the Proud Boys extremist group who disappeared days before his sentencing in a U.S. Capitol riot case, where prosecutors are seeking more than a decade in prison, according to a warrant made public Friday.

    Christopher Worrell, 52, of Naples, Florida, was supposed to be sentenced Friday after being found guilty of spraying pepper spray gel on police officers, as part of the mob storming the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s presidential victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors had asked a judge to sentence him to 14 years.

    The sentencing was canceled and a bench warrant for his arrest issued under seal on Tuesday, according to court records. The U.S. attorney’s office for Washington, D.C., encouraged the public to share any information about his whereabouts.

    Worrell had been on house arrest in Florida since his release from jail in Washington in November 2021, less than a month after a judge substantiated his civil-rights complaints about his treatment in the jail.

    U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth found Worrell’s medical care for a broken hand had been delayed, and held D.C. jail officials in contempt of court.

    His attorney William Shipley declined to comment. Phone numbers listed for Worrell and the woman named as his custodian during his house arrest were not functional.

    More than three dozen people charged in the Capitol siege have been identified by federal authorities as leaders, members or associates of the Proud Boys, whose members describe it as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”

    Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and three other members of the extremist group were convicted of seditious conspiracy in May.

    A total of about 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 riot. More than 600 of them have pleaded guilty or been convicted after trials decided by a jury or judge. About 600 have been sentenced, with over half getting terms of imprisonment ranging from three days to 18 years.
