The Justice Department is asking for the so-called QAnon Shaman, who wore a headdress and posed shirtless on the Senate floor during the siege of the US Capitol, to be sentenced to a prison term of more than four years, the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for any guilty January 6 defendant so far, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors' request for the high-profile Capitol riot defendant Jacob Chansley is as a harsh assessment of his crime and calls him "quite literally, their flagbearer" among the mob on January 6.
In their sentencing request to the judge filed late Tuesday night, prosecutors made clear they hope to use Chansley's sentence as an example to deter future attacks on the government.
The attempted coup, prosecutors wrote, "has made us all question the safety and security of the country in which we live."
"Those enormous harms, borne out of the acts of this defendant, must be deterred so that we never see a similar assault on our democracy again," they continued.
Chansley is set to be sentenced next Wednesday by Federal Judge Royce Lamberth of the DC District Court, as one of the first felony defendants to receive his punishment. He has been in jail for nearly 10 months.

What exactly is his crime, other than bad taste in clothing? Trespassing?
‘Must have used some industrial strength double sided tape’
Like Jennifer Lopez? http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/shared/pmp/styles/x_large/pmpshared/201805/d6646b21-4bcb-45ae-a647-1d93b68246aa.jpg
You’re on the totalitarian side by stupidity and default if that reflects your understanding and logic.
Seriously. Four years prison he “pushed the law”?
You’d fit right in the politburo, if you even know what that is.
Absurdly excessive.
These trials are excessive and political persecution prima facie.
But then such attempted sentencing for apparently looking like Moondog.
It’s China or USSR.
Why? Capitol police escorted him in and outm
Your judgment of my intellect is offensive, sir. My viewpoint is not all black and white. I am merely expressing my views. This is an open forum, is it not?
‘This justice department has it’s head so far up it’s ass
it can verify if they’ve had their tonsils out or not.’
Great quote.
Big Bison and its lobby have big power nowadays.
Is it open for me?
I stated why I made my observation.
I do not understand how you can possibly agree to four years in prison for this.
That’s tyranny. Dictatorship.
What is your reasoning?
How can it be ethical?
How can it be Constitutional?
Oh, please.
sigh
I’m not looking for a fight, ifinnegan. It is open for me and for you. Eat a snickers or something. You are hangry. Can we agree to disagree???????
Sometimes, Sir, it is not what you say, but how you say it.
I thought he was a buffoon - but it appears that the government and the government prosecuotrs are even bigger buffoons.
Creepy evil powerful buffoons, but buffoons just the same.
Sorry. But, I am seriously shocked at what you said.
Think about it.
Last time I’ll go off tour in DC!
Good.
The Criminal Feds are going to arrest a guy who their own police allowed entrance into the Capitol Building.
During the episode the Guy with the horns wasn’t violent or disorderly. So if any charges should be delt they should be for simple trespass.
The police didn’t even order him to leave the property.
The Justice Dept and the FBI are criminally corrupt.
He can choose to accept their deal or maybe he should demand a trial by jury. Throwing a person in prison for walking around like he did makes no sense and I’m sure the jury will see that.
Four years for criminal trespass.
It’s not like he committed fraud before a FISA court judge to illegally spy on U.S. citizens. Obviously the trespass much more serious . . .
NO TRIAL???? JUST GUILTY??
