The claim that Chansley "smashed through the windows with wooden spears" is false. He did not receive a weapons charge...he was carrying a flag. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/defendants/chansley-jacob-anthony The claim of "his MAGA militia" is also false as his charges did not reflect this. DOJ withheld exculpatory evidence. https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-lawyer-qanon-shaman-says-jan-6-footage-wasnt-shown-client-calls-prison-sentence-tragedy
