On January 6th, a mob of extremists stormed the United States Capitol.
The riots resulted in the deaths of at least five people, and dozens of the participants were later arrested.
One of them is Jacob Chansley, sometimes known as Jake Angeli or “The QAnon Shaman.” Chansley went viral during and after the riots for infiltrating the Senate floor while shirtless and wearing horns.
Chansley was arrested three days after the riots and later publicly called on then-President Trump to pardon him, saying he felt he was answering Trump’s call. In a memorandum earlier this month arguing to keep Angeli detained pending his trial, prosecutors also alleged that he wrote a threatening note to former Vice President Mike Pence and left it on the dais, telling him: “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.” (Prosecutors also said that Angeli “demonstrates scattered and fanciful thoughts, and is unable to appreciate reality.”)
Angeli told VICE News earlier this month he was “not worried at all” about the pending investigation into him. “I’m quite proud of my participation,” Angeli said at the time. “I’d like to think I was an observer of history being made right in front of me.”
He’s since said through his lawyer—Albert Watkins—that he was “duped” by Trump.
Now—with Trump impeached by the House for a second time as a result of the riots—Senators have been sworn in to act as jurors for the former President’s impeachment trial.
Speaking to The Hill, Watkins confirmed that Chansley would be willing to testify at the trial that his actions at the Capitol were incited by Trump’s election lies.
It’s unclear if Democrats would take him up on that offer, or if they’re going to call for witnesses at all—a stark contrast from Trump’s first impeachment, where Democrats resoundingly decried Senate Republicans’ blocking of witnesses.
Today a video was sent to us by a reader who wishes to stay anonymous where Jack Angeli while speaking with several people states that he is “Military Intelligence” while being reminded of what he has done in the past by an individual nearby.
Interesting how the video cuts immediately after he says that he is “Military Intelligence”.

As we previously reported Angeli is an actor from Phoenix Arizona. Image below:
Was this part of his act or he is mentally unstable we can’t tell for sure.
Maybe the guy is just insane!
In his case, the words ‘millitary’ and ‘intelligence’, should not appear in the same sentence.
His image reminds me of that old YouTube with the drunk Hippy Dude looking at a rainbow and going out of his mind with clumsy love for Mother Nature.
Some people really are just crazy. 😆
He is got problems because he was seen doing things by others that are incriminating.
He’s milking this for all he can.....................his 15 minutes of fame are over,,,,,,,,,,,,,..
“Military intelligence” covers a lot of ground. Photo comparison and analysis, gathering of information. Anytime I hear the expression, I harken back to my Air Force days. I worked with a guy that lived in a dorm with a guy that worked “intelligence.” He debriefed pilot’s when they returned from missions. These were just training missions. The guy I worked with told me that the intel dude once knocked on his door, and when he opened it, he was standing there with a bicycle pump, and said “ Check this out.” and commenced to farting got about a minute.
The guy is just a publicity ho. Let him join the Impeachment circus.
I actually met him (John 3:16 guy) at the Indy 500 35 years ago. Not really a chatty guy.
I really don’t believe him..but then again...we have the Proud Boys informant dude...so anything is possible
“Maybe the guy is just insane!”
Yea Insane..
I doubt he ever was “military intelligence.” The Republicans can use that claim to say that he’s mentally unfit to serve as a witness.
Even if he was, having a MI occupation doesn’t mean a thing in this context. It doesn’t add to a person’s ability to be a fool.
“Chelsea” Manning comes to mind.
Wackos say wacky things.
I think he’d make a great witnes...but not sure for whom!
Five people may have died that day, but only one was murdered.
So, no witnesses... and a mere 1 hour for R's part of the debate in the House.... and now intoning perhaps not much more for the trial in the Sinate.
The only reason to allow this charade to continue is to finally provide Trump with a public venue to air the electoral fraud. If 'Rats and 'GOP-Rats remove that, there is no reason to play out the remainder of this farcical impeachment.
My dad cold cocked that dude on national TV when he’d done his dance one time too many in front of us at a Redskins game.
