Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
The Justice Department has rejected Jacob Chansley's, also known as the QAnon Shaman, bid to overturn his conviction for obstructing Congress' proceedings on Jan. 6, 2021, which landed him in prison for more than two years. Chansley's legal effort, fueled by Capitol surveillance footage provided to Fox News' Tucker Carlson by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, distorts the "overwhelming" evidence of his criminality, argued Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Paschall in a blistering 31-page filing.
