The lawyer representing Jan. 6 defendant Jacob Chansley, better known as the buffalo headdress-adorn QAnon Shaman, is calling for sanctions against the Justice Department prosecutors over the previously concealed security video footage that showed his client peacefully escorted by police through the Capitol.
After House Speaker Kevin McCarthy released videos last month, Chansley was placed into a halfway house, 14 months before the end of his prison sentence.
“The DOJ created and implemented a systemically flawed discovery production protocol for which there is simply no excuse,” he said. “The government had a duty to release material video footage, not just video footage that supported the government’s prosecutorial narrative.” Chansley will later be released from the Phoenix, Arizona, halfway house on May 25, according to a spokesperson from the Bureau of Prisons.
Chansley with his bare chest, facepaint and headdress became the face of the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob of demonstrators stormed the Capitol to block the certification of President Biden’s win.“I give a lot of credit to Speaker McCarthy for releasing those videos,” she told The Washington Times. “If he hadn’t released those tapes and Tucker Carleson hadn’t put it out, people wouldn’t have seen the truth and I think that played a big role.
Mr. Hawley said whether sanctions are appropriate against prosecutors handling the Jan. 6 cases depends on whether the DOJ lawyers knew of the exculpatory security video footage or not.
