Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley (born 1988),

felon who participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[7][8] for which he was convicted after a guilty plea[9] on charges of obstructing an official proceeding. He is a supporter of former president Donald Trump and a former believer and disseminator of the QAnon conspiracy theory which has no basis in reality or any facts to corroborate its claims.[10][11][12][13]

Chansley attended demonstrations in the

shaman
nicknames.

After being photographed taking part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol, Chansley was arrested on January 9 on federal charges of "Civil Disorder; Obsrtuction of an Official Proceeding; Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building; Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building; Violent Entry and Disorderly Conduct in a Capitol Building; Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building."[9][16][17][18] He pleaded guilty to a single charge in September, and was sentenced to 41 months (3.4 yr) in prison followed by 36 months (3 yr) supervised release in November 2021.[9][19] He served out a portion of his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona,[20] and was transferred to a halfway house on March 28, 2023,[21][22][23] from which he was released on May 25, 2023. His signature horned raccoon headdress has not yet been returned to him, and he is running a hot dog stand to raise funds for a new one. [24]

Early life and education

Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley was born in 1988 to Martha Chansley.[1][25] He attended Moon Valley High School in Phoenix, Arizona, and Glendale Community College, where he completed some coursework in psychology, religion, philosophy and ceramics.[26][27]

Career

Chansley enlisted in the United States Navy on September 26, 2005. After basic training and training as a supply clerk, he was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk in March 2006. At some point, he refused to take an anthrax vaccine and was scheduled for discharge from the Navy. On September 29, 2007, he was sent to a Transient Personnel Unit in Puget Sound in Washington, and was processed out of the Navy on October 11. After two years and 15 days in uniform, his final rank was Storekeeper Seaman Apprentice.[28][29][30] His military awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon.[28]

Chansley had a profile on the Backstage website seeking work as an actor.[32] In November 2023, he filed a candidate statement of interest to run as a Libertarian in the 2024 election for Arizona's 8th congressional district.[33]

Role in Conspiratorial Movement

Chansley was formerly a supporter of Donald Trump.[15][34][35][36] He has a social media following and has attended rallies supporting QAnon, mostly in and around Phoenix.[15] At various rallies in Arizona, he shouted about QAnon conspiracy theories and carried a sign that said "Q Sent Me!"[37]

Chansley frequently protested alone outside the

face paint to attract attention, so that he could then talk about QAnon and "other truths".[15][38] He appeared at a Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest in the Phoenix area in order to spread the QAnon conspiracy theory.[40]

Following the

Supreme Court! Trump always looks like he's going to lose. And then he wins."[36]

Participation in the 2021 Capitol attack

During the

headdress and war paint in red, white and blue, carrying a six-foot-high (1.8 m) spear with an American flag tied below the spear head.[43] He was also photographed standing on the raised platform in front of Vice President Mike Pence's chair in the Senate chamber, gaining him significant media attention. He later said police had initially blocked the crowd from entry, but had then specifically allowed them entry, at which point he entered.[44] On March 16, 2021, the U.S. District Court in Washington D.C. released previously unseen video footage of Chansley entering the Capitol building after windows were smashed.[45]

Video footage presented by Tucker Carlson on Fox News in March 2023 depicted Chansley walking through the Capitol building in the company of police officers who appeared to make no visible effort to stop him. Carlson, who was given exclusive access to the security footage by a top congressional Republican, characterized the officers as "tour guides" for Chansley and noted that none of the officers arrested him.[46] U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger denounced Carlson's segment, calling the show "filled with offensive and misleading conclusions." Manger specifically took issue with Carlson's claim that Capitol Police officers acted as "tour guides" for Chansley. He maintained that Capitol Police officers were badly outnumbered and did their best to use de-escalation tactics to try to talk rioters into leaving the building.[47] Chansley's attorney claimed to have no prior knowledge of the footage, noting that the government is obligated to disclose all evidence—especially exculpatory evidence—and that here the government failed to do so. Because Chansley pleaded guilty, it remains unclear whether this error could cause court proceedings to be affected. The prosecution at the time he pleaded guilty had said they were still reviewing evidence.[48]

Court transcripts reveal Chansley told the

Christ's holy name, we pray."[50] After the riot, Chansley told reporters, "The fact that we had a bunch of our traitors in office hunker down, put on their gas masks and retreat into their underground bunker, I consider that a win."[5]

Chansley was listed as a

Washington DC Police on January 8.[37] Interviewed while wanted, Chansley said that he believed he did nothing wrong, telling NBC: "I walked through an open door, dude," a claim later found to be untrue.[45][5] Chansley told KPNX that he "wasn't worried" about possible charges on January 8.[37] Chansley had no criminal record in Arizona before taking part in the riot.[37]

Arrest and criminal proceedings

Chansley was arrested and brought up on U.S. federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds", on January 9.[16] A Capitol police special agent was quoted as saying that he identified Chansley by his "unique attire and extensive tattoos covering his arms and left side of his torso".[51] Chansley voluntarily spoke to the Washington Field Office of the FBI prior to his arrest.[52] In a January 14 court filing, federal prosecutors said that Chansley had left a note on Pence's desk in the Senate chamber that said "It's only a matter of time, justice is coming."[53]

While jailed awaiting trial, Chansley refused to eat because the food served was not organic.[54] Subsequently, a court ordered that he receive organic food.[55]

Chansley was represented by St. Louis attorney Albert Watkins starting in January 2021 until his guilty plea on September 2.[56][57] In a written statement, Watkins argued that Chansley had no part in the violence, did not hide his identity, was unarmed, not destructive, and followed the instructions of law enforcement officials in a respectful fashion; and that Chansley was carrying a megaphone so his voice could be heard. He also presented evidence Chansley had been diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder while serving the Navy.[58] He said in an interview with KSDK in St. Louis, "[Chansley] is responsible for his actions. He regrets where he is today".[59] Watkins publicly called on President Trump to pardon his client,[60] arguing that Chansley had been unarmed, not violent or destructive, and had been acting on the "invitation" of the president.[61] Later in January, Chansley made overtures for a presidential pardon from Trump through White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.[62] When the pardon was not granted, Watkins said, "He [Chansley] regrets very very much having not just been duped by the President, but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made."[4][62] According to Watkins, Chansley was prepared to testify against Trump in his second impeachment trial.[63] However, the trial ended with Trump's acquittal without any witnesses being called.[64][65]

Federal judge Royce Lamberth ruled on March 8, 2021, that Chansley should not be released from jail, saying his lawyer's arguments were "so frivolous as to insult the Court's intelligence." In a written statement, the judge said the "defendant does not fully appreciate the severity of the allegations against him."[66]

Chansley pleaded guilty to a single count of obstructing an official proceeding on September 3, 2021, and agreed to accept the prosecution's recommended sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison as part of the settlement. Earlier, his lawyer said Chansley broke away from QAnon and asked that it no longer be used in terms for him.[11] Judge Lamberth turned down a request for release (Chansley wanted to visit his grandfather while Watkins wanted to provide him with shelter and care for his mental health) on the grounds that there was no convincing evidence that there would not be any risk of escape.[67]

Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison on November 17.[68] He served his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution - Safford in Safford, Arizona,[20] with an original release date of May 25, 2024.[21] On March 30, 2023, attorney Albert Watkins announced Chansley had just been released from prison 14 months early and moved to a halfway house.[69] In November 2021, Chansley told the court, "Men of honor admit when they're wrong. Not just publicly but to themselves. I was wrong for entering the Capitol. I have no excuse. No excuse whatsoever. The behavior is indefensible."[70]

Disinformation about affiliation and role

After the storming of the Capitol, pro-Trump users on Facebook circulated false rumors that Chansley was not a Trump supporter and right-wing advocate but was instead associated with antifa and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and had infiltrated the event as an agent provocateur. Those false reports frequently included a photo of Chansley at a BLM rally in Arizona, cropping out his "Q Sent Me" sign that indicates he was a counter-protester rather than a participant at the rally.[71]

In a January 6 tweet from his

Lin Wood: "Mr. Wood. I am not antifa or blm. I'm a Qanon & digital soldier. My name is Jake & I marched with the police & fought against BLM & ANTIFA in PHX."[72][73] Snopes investigated the statement, concluding that he did attend a BLM rally, that he is not affiliated with antifa, and was an active Trump supporter.[71]

There was also disinformation propagated which falsely claimed Chansley colluded with Nancy Pelosi's son-in-law, Michiel Vos, seen in a photo with him outside the Capitol. Snopes wrote that Vos is a reporter with the Dutch free-to-air television channel RTL Nederland, and the image is from a story on the protests which Vos wrote for the Dutch news program RTL Boulevard.[74]

Views

Chansley in 2020

Chansley has stated his unfounded beliefs that televisions and radios emit "very specific frequencies that are inaudible," that "affect the

occultic force you need a light occultic force ... [you need] a force that is of the side of God, of love ... almost like on the side of the angels ... as opposed to the demons."[3] In reflecting on the Capitol storming, Chansley said that "What we did on January 6 in many ways was an evolution in consciousness, because as we marched down the street along these ley lines shouting 'USA' or shouting things like 'freedom'... we were actually affecting the quantum realm."[27]

Prosecutors have alleged that Chansley believes he is an alien or higher being and is destined to ascend to another reality.[75] When asked about her son in the wake of the January 2021 attack on the Capitol, his mother, Martha Chansley, said to KNXV-TV, "he's fine," adding that "it takes a lot of courage to be a patriot".[25]

Since pleading his guilt, Chansley has distanced himself from his conspiratorial views, acknowledging that he was wrong.[70]
