QAnon Shaman's defence lawyer says he tried to stop someone stealing muffin during Jan 6 insurrectio

Albert Watkins, the lawyer to the horned helmet, American-flag waving QAnon shaman Jacob Chansley, released video footage that shows Chansley preventing a “muffin theft” as rioters stormed the Capitol Hill.

On Wednesday, Watkins filed a motion to try and get his client released from custody amid the pending trial. The video - he argued - could prove that Chansley was nice, peaceful, and could diffuse situations.

The YouTube video titled “Jake Stops Muffin Stealing” appears to show Chansley in his horned helmet saying “Hey, hey, hey,” repeatedly to a rioter entering a break room in the Capitol was apparently trying to steal the “muffin” in question.

Watkins told the Daily Mail that the video shows how peaceful his client was as he “sought to thwart a theft and support they need for those in the Capitol to be respectful of law enforcement.”
