There is no evidence of the Shaman himself being violent or destructive. Even Nancy Pelosi’s daughter said same.
What was he charged with and what did he plead guilty to?
What did he get four years for? That’s your answer. He has a new lawyer and exculpatory evidence was withheld. People are convinced to plead guilty every day. The real question is, would he have done so if this evidence was in the hands of the defense. Remember too, he is a diagnosed schizophrenic. You can have all the feels you want, but withholding evidence by prosecution is not something you want to see in America.
Lol. Don’t do the crime if you don’t want to do the time.
He didn't. He essentially trespassed. Violent criminals have gotten less time for worse crimes.

Honey, he trespassed at the front of a violent mob that was intent on overturning an election. Some of them had real plans for this while others were just coming along but they all wanted to overturn the election.
And, how, exactly was this rag tag band of not very bright people going to overturn the election?
I don't know who is more low intelligence, the protesters in Congress on J6 or the people who genuinely believe they could have overthrown the election? You really think that somehow something would have happened and the election results blocked and Biden never allowed to be president? As Biden likes to say, come on, man! Even in their worst behavior with people killed, all that would have happened would be a delay of a day or so till the results were certified.

The point is that there are some people who have been prosecuted and given relatively lengthy sentences because their actions on that day have been misrepresented by the J6 committee and by prosecutors.
The QAnon Shamon is the very example of that. There is extensive footage of him being peaceful and respectful. And, it appears that Nancy Pelosi is at fault for withholding this evidence from his defense.
If there is one image from Jan. 6th that will remain indelible with the day, it is the “QAnon Shaman.” Bare chested and wearing an animal headdress, horns and red-white-and-blue face paint, Jake Angeli Chansley is to the Capitol riot what Rosie the Riveter was to World War II. Howling and “chanting an unintelligible mantra” on the Senate floor, he is the embodiment of the unhinged rage that led to one of the most disgraceful attacks on our constitutional process in history.
However, the newly released Fox footage from that day raises serious questions over the prosecution and punishment of Chansley. The videotapes aired on Tucker Carlson this week show Chansley being escorted by officers through the Capitol. Two officers appear to not only guide him to the floor but actually appear to be trying to open locked doors for him. At one point, Chansley is shown walking unimpeded through a large number of armed officers with his four-foot flag-draped spear and horned Viking helmet on his way to the Senate floor.
It is otherworldly footage. While I admit that I approach these stories from the perspective of a long-standing criminal defense attorney, I would be outraged if I was unable to see such evidence before a plea or sentencing. At no point in the videotapes does Chansley appear violent or threatening. Indeed, he appears to thank the officers for their guidance and assistance. On the Senate floor, Chansley actually gave a prayer to thank the officers agreed “to allow us into the building.”
Before addressing the legal implications of this footage, one thing should be clear. The public should have been given access to this footage long ago and the Jan. 6th Committee withheld important evidence on what occurred inside the Capitol on that day.
While it is understandable that many would object to Carlson being given an exclusive in the initial release, many in the media are denouncing the release of the footage to the public at all. The press and pundits are now opposing greater transparency in resisting any contradiction of the narrative put forward by the Jan. 6th Committee. Indeed, MSNBC’s Jason Johnson angrily objected that this is “federal evidence” — ignoring that it is evidence that was denied to criminal defendants.
This is not just material that the public should be able to see, it was potential evidence in criminal cases like that of the QAnon Shaman.
When the footage aired, I wrote a column raising the question of whether this evidence was known to or shared with Chansley’s defense. After all, he was portrayed as a violent offender by the Justice Department at his sentencing.
It now appears that the answer is no. I spoke with Chansley’s new counsel, Bill Shipley, and confirmed that defense counsel did not have this material.
In the hearing, federal prosecutor Kimberly Paschall played videos showing Chansley yelling along with the crowd and insisted “that is not peaceful.”

What a cruddy lawyer he has. Why don’t all you Shaman apologists pool your money together to get him a better one?
