Justice Department Seeks To Make Example Of Capitol Rioter

The DOJ is seeking a four-year prison sentence for Jacob Chansley, who pleaded guilty to felony obstruction of an official proceeding.

The shirtless rioter who called himself the “QAnon Shaman.” Jacob Chansley, who wore face paint and a furry hat with horns when he stormed the Capitol, became “the public face of the Capitol riot.” prosecutors said in a court filing late Tuesday. 

They recommended a longer prison sentence, four years and three months, when the Arizona man is sentenced next Wednesday.
