[Jpost] Prosecutors have asked US District Judge Royce Lamberth to impose a 51-month sentence on Jacob Chansley,
...the unsuccessful actor who mostly did his thing to acclaim at Antifa protests, and who was described by prosecutors back home as mentally unbalanced, possibly because of Asperger’s Syndrome...
who pleaded guilty in September.
The US Capitol rioter nicknamed the "QAnon Shaman" for his horned head-dress faces a judge on Wednesday who could sentence him to more than four years in prison for his role in the deadly January 6 attack by former President Donald Trump's followers.
Prosecutors have asked US District Judge Royce Lamberth to impose a 51-month sentence on Jacob Chansley, who pleaded guilty in September to obstructing an official proceeding when he and thousands of others stormed the building in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election.
"Defendant Chansley's now-famous criminal acts have made him the public face of the Capitol riot," prosecutors said in asking for the 51-month sentence. That would be the stiffest imposed on any Capitol rioter, after a former mixed martial artist filmed punching a police officer during violence was sentenced last week to 41 months in prison.
Chansley's attorneys have asked the judge for a sentence of time served for their client, who has been detained since his January arrest.
While in detention, Chansley was diagnosed by prison officials with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. When he entered his guilty plea, Chansley said he was disappointed Trump had not pardoned him.
Defense lawyer Albert Watkins said the US Navy in 2006 had found Chansley suffered from personality disorder but nonetheless declared him "fit for duty."

"Deadly attack", just like the "deadly coronavirus"
The big lie.

"made him the public face of the Capitol riot"
No, actually, I think it was more the horns and body paint. Every circus loves a freak.

What role? He got his picture taken wearing a ridiculous costume and he gets four years for it? C'mon. What's the maximum sentence for misdemeanor trespassing? And, as far as obstructing an official proceeding, doesn't Nancy bear some responsibility for her refusal to allow adequate security for that "official proceeding"?

I charge Nancy Pelosi with keeping an attractive nuisance. If said nuisance had not been there and been as attractive and easily accessible as it was due to lack of proper security, none of this would have happened.

No doubt this sentence will be sharply criticized by the Soros DA's who oppose incarceration and want to abolish jails. Or maybe not.

Lot of cosplay going on, he just won first prize. Remember, just to his right was Devil Eyes and to his left Confederate Doughnut. Brokeback Duster is still my favorite.

"deadly attack" is an obscene insult, given that it was Capitol Officer Michael L. Boyd who attacked and killed a trespasser who posed no threat of injury or harm to any of the officers around her.
This shit is outrageous. What country are we living in?

According to an old Daily Mail article I just came across, Jacob Angeli Chansley has been deteriorating for years. He has been jobless and living with his mother in Phoenix for several years, and refers to himself as an actor, and before being jailed spent his time roaming his mother’s neighbourhood in his shaman costume and going to all sorts of protests — he’s clearly not particular.
Several other articles mention that while in the Navy he was diagnosed as schizotypal.

Given Mr. Chansley’s deterioration, and that there are so few private long term mental asylums, the judge may be taking advantage of the situation as he considers sentencing. But he might also go for time served. Prosecutors often do not get what they ask for in terms of sentences.

41 months. Less than the prosecutors asked for, but still a jolt.

The Big Lesson From the Left: The Congressional Session of formalizing Joe Biden's Election Fraud into a Presidency that day is NOT to be interrupted by a rally by the guy who actually won. And if the protestors are lead into the capital by Pelosi's Capital Police (entrapment) then while Biden and Pelosi are in power opponents to dare to protest will go to prison.

And also a Democrat Congressman who while Chair of the Intelligence Committee slept with Fang Fang a Chinese spy and will NOT be prosecuted by Biden's Deep State or Pelosi's Capital Police.
Published from a comment yesterday from our own M. Murcek [ZERO] House Republicans in the Judiciary Committee have sent a Tuesday letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland after an FBI whistleblower provided 'a protected disclosure' revealing that "the FBI's Counterterrorism Division is compiling and categorizing threat assessments related to parents, including a document directing FBI personnel to use a specific "threat tag" to track potential investigations."
The evidence - an email sent the day before Garland testified on October 21 - "referenced your October 4 directive to the FBI to address school board threats and notified FBI personnel about a new "threat tag" created by the Counterterrorism and Criminal Divisions."
"This disclosure provides specific evidence that federal law enforcement operationalized counterterrorism tools at the behest of a left-wing special interest group against concerned parents," the letter continues.
Despite the obvious instructions to the FBI, Attorney General Merrick Garland previously gave testimony before congress denying that parents who attended school board meetings were being targeted by an FBI Counterterrorism task force. However, today the House Judiciary Committee has received a ’whistleblower complaint’ showing the FBI is indeed using the Counterterrorism Division as the tool to target parents. [Document Source]
The day before AG Merrick Garland testified to congress, the FBI instructed all national heads of the Counterterrorism Division to begin using internal tags to create a notification list containing the names of parents they considered to be domestic extremists.

Until a few years ago you could call the local FBI office directly. When the Dems decided to destroy our country, all calls then forwarded to the same main number. When that happens the Dems are isolating a government agency away from the people in order to gain full control as an enforcment arm of the DNC.

When the Republicans as may happen, with luck, fairly soon, they can rename the DEpartme4nt to the Department of Injustice.
The Dems are creating some wonderful precedents.
If they take over the house, for example, they really should censure Madame Pelosi for her recent behavior.
Or censure all those who recently censured a Republican. That would save a lot of time in Committees.
Stephanopoulos: “Is there anything President Biden can do” to address inflation?
Biden advisor Brian Deese: “Number one: We have to finish job on COVID…getting those shots out to 5-11-year-olds is gonna provide a lot of comfort to American families.”
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Unexpectedly.
DHS said in a statement that Customs and Border Protection would handle the incident since the Office of Inspector General had declined to take action
CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) will now investigate the Sept. 19 incident and determine whether disciplinary action is necessary
Mayorkas said in September the investigation would be completed in 'days, not weeks,' but requests for updates went unreturned until today
Mayorkas is set to testify before the Senate, where he's likely to face questions about the record number of migrants at the southern border

They never needed an investigation before they punished the agents. They only needed one if they wanted to be fair, and that's not what they were going for.

[TheHill] Democrats and other critics of former President Trump celebrated when criminal charges were leveled against Stephen Bannon late last week.
But the political downside of the pursuit of Bannon is becoming clearer by the day.
There’s no guarantee that the underlying purpose of the prosecution — to compel Bannon to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection — will work.
Bannon may ultimately prefer the risk of a fairly short jail sentence, and the martyrdom it would confer on him from Trump supporters, over testifying.
Even if he were to cooperate, the question then becomes whether the public will learn anything more damning than it already knows about Bannon and his former boss.
After all, Bannon said on his podcast the day before the riot that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow." And Trump’s central role in inciting the insurrection was so blatant that he became the first president in American history to be impeached twice. ^ That is a blatant lie and an injection of hack partisan opinion, typical of The Hill
Above all, the criminal case has given Bannon the biggest platform he has enjoyed in years.
The news that he had been indicted on two counts of contempt of Congress on Friday was the lead story on the websites of The New York Times and other leading news organizations.
Bannon’s initial court appearance on Monday was another media circus, with network newscasts running footage of Trump’s former chief White House strategist lambasting the prosecution and President Biden. Bannon live streamed his comments outside the court on the social network Gettr, a favorite among pro-Trump conservatives.

The only thing that will stop the massive corruption on the left is the use of force. Men with guns (FBI) are already applying the use of force in raids against associates of major figures on the right almost daily.
[NYPOST] Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday she will not seek reelection in 2022, becoming the latest high-profile Democrat to retire from politics as the party seeks to hold on to narrow majorities in the House and Senate next year.
"It’s time for me to come home," said Speier in a Twitter video announcing her decision.
Speier, who has been a member of Congress since 2008, recalled the 1978 liquidation of Rep. Leo Ryan (D-Calif.) by followers of cult leader Jim Jones shortly before the infamous mass murder-suicide of Jones’ followers. Speier, then a Ryan staffer, was shot five times but survived.
"Forty-three years ago this week, I was lying on an airstrip in the jungles of Guyana with five bullet holes in my body," Speier said. "I vowed that if I survived, I would dedicate my life to public service."
"It has been a remarkable journey that has surpassed my wildest dreams," she added. "Today, I’m announcing that I will not be a candidate for reelection to Congress in 2022."
The 71-year-old Speier, who represents a safe Democratic seat in the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... Bay area, said that it was time for her to "be more than a weekend wife, mother and friend."

Sat in some meetings with her when she was a San Mateo County Supervisor. She did not impress.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
