DOJ seeks Four plus years for the Jan. 6 shaman.

03:19
(CNN)The Justice Department is asking for the so-called QAnon Shaman, who wore a headdress and posed shirtless on the Senate floor during the siege of the US Capitol, to be sentenced to a prison term of more than four years, the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for any guilty January 6 defendant so far, according to a new court filing.

Prosecutors' request for the high-profile Capitol riot defendant Jacob Chansley is as a harsh assessment of his crime and calls him "quite literally, their flagbearer" among the mob on January 6.

Sometimes it's bad to be the Shaman!

Hate TFG and fox for many things but maybe for me the most is for pushing so many many folks with mental illness and infirmaries over the edge…on purpose.

Hoping the sentences on people in the seditious mob help them get back to reality. Hoping that the traitors who instigated the rebellion die looking through cell bars.

although I do not believe that 4 years is nearly enough. My preference would be to send them all to Gitmo and toss away the key.

The mind-numbing, R-promoted firearms assault on our culture doesn't obscure the fact that the man was armed with a lethal weapon.

I'm sure thumping the short bus people is satisfying but I'd be much happier if they would haul Bannon in for contempt.

Sorry, cupcake. Ain't gonna happen. And you won't be getting any cupcakes either, for that matter.

Perhaps this is the dawning of a new age where abject stupidity does have consequences.

Hopefully, this is only the beginning of punishment befitting the crime.

Combine this with the judges ruling that Trump DOES NOT HAVE EXECUTIVE POWER to stop handing over documents to the Congressional committee.

These two things should make TFG the Orange Buffon pucker a little.

like maybe 20 to life in a Federal Prison.

Hell, let's make it a family affair. Then they can all sit around the one no-gold toilet and commiserate.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.


Why would the flag bearer not get ten years?

Oh, right, they charged him with parading, not INSURRECTION!

Some of these assholes shouldn't get out.

Maybe we can give them a choice of prison or deportation to Belarus.
