Former Attorney to Mark & Patricia McCloskey Is Now Representing 'QAnon Shaman'

Says Client Was Following Trump’s Orders and Should be Pardoned

The attorney who previously represented Mark and Patricia McCloskey—the couple who were charged with felonies after pointing guns at protesters from their lawn inside a gated St. Louis community—says his new client, Jacob Anthony Chansley, stormed the U.S. Capitol last week at the behest President Donald Trump and deserves to be pardoned. Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, is also and perhaps better known as the “QAnon Shaman.”

St. Louis-based lawyer Al Watkins—who describes himself as “beyond description” in his attorney bio page—appeared on CNN Thursday evening to essentially argue that his client believed he was following the direct orders of the president when he joined other Trump supporters in sieging the Capitol.

Chansley—who was infamously photographed wearing a horned bearskin headdress, tan pants, and red, white and blue face paint, but no shirt—was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this week on six counts, including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

But according to Watkins, the “driving force” behind Chansley’s actions were Trump’s claims about widespread election fraud and directives to be at the Capitol. Watkins said his client “felt like he was answering the call our president.”

"Just following orders" That's the excuse war criminals use.
