Sentencing hearing starting now for Jacob Chansley, the "QAnon shaman" who committed no violent crime. He's been in jail since his 1/11/21 arrest. Judge Lamberth, presiding today, denied Chansley's release 3 times including after his September plea.
Contrary to what DOJ claims in court filings, Chansley clearly is seen on video talking to Capitol police, who do not arrest him and advise him "no attacking, no assault, remain calm."
Just talked to Dan Caldwell, a J6 detainees in the DC Gulag. He is suffering severe after-effects from the pepper spray attack by prison guards last week, which sent a few detainees, including Caldwell, out of the jail on stretchers.
Following a dispute with one detainee...
over face masks, a prison guard doused the "pod," the area that house J6 detainees, with copious amounts of pepper spray. The pod was in lockdown, so all men locked in their cells.
Spray filled locked and closed pods, infiltrated the air system. Caldwell could not breathe...
Banged on wall to cell next to him, begging for his life. Thought he was going to die; he lost consciousness and believes he fell and hit his head.
When he came to, he had been dragged out of his cell. He begged not to die. "Tell my family I love them." (He was sobbing on phone)
Dinner in progress: Red wine braised short ribs, homemade goat cheese tortellini with pumpkin vodka cream sauce, salad with roasted pumpkin seeds, fig, and goat cheese.
Ready for the oven 🧑🍳
Pasta dough resting. Updates soon - never made homemade tortellini before, good thing I have a sous chef home from college for the weekend🧑🍳
Sous chef at work. We decided go with Boursin cheese instead of goat. Mistake?
