“QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley might not be serving a four year prison sentence if the jury had known he was given a guided tour by police. Surveillance video from January 6 was just released. His lawyers didn’t have this evidence when their client was on trial. Security officers even tried to open doors for him. Nobody saw any of it until Tucker Carlson broke the news March 6. He’s been given “exclusive access to 41,000 previously unseen hours of Capitol security video.” He’s making specials from it.
Police gave guided tour
“Not only did the police not try to stop Chansley, they escorted him.” Everyone in America has seen the iconic images of “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley. He’s practically become the face of the January 6, 2021 barbarian invasion. In the first of a series of specials, Fox News host Tucker Carlson exposed shocking video for the very first time.
He and his staff have been scanning through miles of footage looking for inconsistencies. The first one which caught Carlson’s attention was a sequence showing “Chansley walking calmly through the Capitol” building.
“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” Carlson relates. “The tape shows that Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”

Uniformed security is clearly seen calmly guiding “him to multiple entrances and even try to open locked doors for him.” Not only that, they “counted at least nine officers who are within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chansley.”
As depicted by the video, “not one of them even tried to slow him down. Chansley understood that Capitol Police were his allies.”
Video shows him “giving thanks for them in a prayer on the floor of the Senate.” That didn’t get him any less time in jail. In fact, he’s the one out of all the barbarian invaders serving the most.
Three weeks to view
Carlson informed his viewers that “his producers spent three weeks in Washington with ‘unfettered access‘ to security video, thanks to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.” As expected, “much of the massive video cache was irrelevant.” There was a whole bunch of “footage of empty rooms.”
Thankfully, the crew had access to Capitol computers which allowed them to “hone in on relevant times and locations.” Chansley and his police escort stood out like a sore thumb.
After all the chaos and confusion was over, Chansley “agreed to plead guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding in September 2021.” Not knowing about the police escort, District Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced him to 41 months in prison in November 2021.

As Carlson points out, Chansley wasn’t accused of any violence. “He did not vandalize the building. He stood on the rostrum in the U.S. Senate and walked the halls of the Capitol. Yet, he drew one of the longest prison terms among the more than 1,000 Jan. 6 defendants.”
Seeing the Q-Anon Shaman all buddy-buddy with capitol police has a lot of Americans steamed.
“Contrast the reality of what Jacob Chansley did in the Capitol Building on January 6—the indisputable facts recorded on video, some of which has never before been seen—with the depiction of Jacob Chansley that you’ve seen in the media for more than two years,” Carlson underscored. “‘He’s a terrorist,‘ they said. ‘He should be killed.‘“
