Newly Released Jan. 6 Tapes Show Capitol Police Giving Guided Tour To So-Called ‘Q-Anon Shaman’
The Federalist ^ | 03/07/2023 | Tristan Justice

Capitol police officers are seen giving the ‘Qanon shaman,” the Democrats’ face of the Jan. 6 insurrection, a guided tour.

New surveillance footage from the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021 reveals law enforcement inside gave VIP treatment to Jacob Chansley, known as the “Q-Anon Shaman.” Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s team reviewed more than 40,000 hours of video from that day and on Monday aired never-before-seen footage of Chansley’s time in the Capitol.

Chansley, who infamously presided over an empty Senate chamber as rioters paraded through the complex, is seen being escorted by Capitol Police officers to multiple entrances throughout the building. At times, the officers escorting Chansley even appear to check for unlocked doors.

“They helped him. They acted as his tour guides,” said Carlson, who was given access to the footage by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. “We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chansley. Not one of them tried to slow him down.”

The horned man behind the most viral images of the Jan. 6 “insurrection” pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his involvement in the riot. Federal prosecutors sought even more time for the Arizonan who was 34 at the time of his sentencing in November of 2021.

Footage published by Carlson Monday night shows the man prosecutors have locked in prison for nearly half a decade praying for the police officers who “allow[ed]” protestors into the Capitol.

“Thank you Heavenly Father for taking the inspiration needed to these police officers to allow us in this building,” Chansley said on the Senate floor.

“Chansley understood that Capitol Police were his allies,” said Carlson, who went on to contrast the new footage with hyperbolic depictions of Chansley promoted by Democrats’ Select Committee on January 6th. “‘He’s a terrorist,’ they said, ‘he should be killed.'”

Carlson then aired a clip of Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt calling on Chansley to be shot. “Shoot him!” Schmidt cried on HBO. “Shoot him.”

As he concluded the segment, Carlson asked, “If [Chansley] was in fact committing such a grave crime, why didn’t the officers standing right next to him place him under arrest?”

two women were killed by them;

accountability = 0.0

The implications of all this are grave. When citizens are set up by the government we have become no different than any totalitarian nation.

RE: two women were killed by them;

One was Ashli Babbitt, shot by Lt. Michael Byrd.

Who was the other woman killed?

"Carlson then aired a clip of Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt calling on Chansley to be shot. “Shoot him!” Schmidt cried on HBO. “Shoot him.”"

A sentiment carried by a good number in DC and even a few posting on this forum I'd wager.

Trump should pull a Perot and buy time to present the case.

I think her name was Roslyn Boyland (Spelling?). She was clubbed to death by a female black cop.

Yet another stupid question: Was Jacob Chansley allowed to use this footage in his defense? If not, why not?

He’s still waiting for his trial while rotting in jail.

Because the video information was withheld from his defense and his lawyers may not have been acting in his best interests.

There are definite Brady violations happening here

If so, I wonder why it never got as much publicity as Ashli Babbit.

Female black cop huh? Ashli’s shooter Michael Byrd is also a black cop. There’s probably part of your answer.

The right move for the House is to pass a special disability retirement package provision for these two brave officers who faced certain death during the violent insurrection by courageously escorting this fellow all around the Capitol, until he "("Ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille") could make his entrance onto the Senate floor. Imagine their PTSD!

Said retirement deal should also include the Ultimate Lying in State Funeral Deal package, as given to Ofc. Siknick (sp?)

Bottom line: THEY KNEW.

'They' as in the January 6th committee, DOJ, and others.

I'm hearing that Chansley's lawyer was only allowed to view the 40,000 tapes. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. The tapes and this specific exculpatory evidence was never given to the lawyer.

It’s revealing what we already know. One thing always lacks, actual accountability. We were told half the story, the media supplemented with their usual leftist activist support.

There needs to be something that comes next...but nothing ever comes of these things that come years after the damage is done and then there is zero accountability.

As long as the MSM doesn’t report this, nothing will happen, they will just denounce it as “typical Fox Right-Wing Propaganda”.
