The "Shaman" is feeling a little butthurt

Lawyer for 'QAnon Shaman' says he feels 'duped' by Trump after not getting a pardon
Brad Reed
January 22, 2021

Former President Donald Trump left office by issuing a slew of pardons -- but none of them were for the supporters who rioted on his behalf at the United States Capitol building on January 6th.

Now an attorney for 33-year-old Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, better known as the "QAnon Shaman," says that his client feels like the president misled him into believing that he would get a pardon for his actions.

In an interview with local news station KSDK, attorney Al Watkins said that Chansley regrets his actions and feels "duped" by the president's claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

If he had, for example, millions in loans, that Trump could take, and then not repay, maybe a pardon would have been on the table. But, Trump already got what he needed from these patsies, and has no more use for them.
Dumbasses.

especially when it would likely damage his own interests.

Does saying “I did these things because I expected a pardon” prove intention of wrongdoing?

Not a lawyer so I don’t know.

...is either:
1. "Yes, my client is an idiot.", or;
2. "I really didn't want this case, but my boss assigned it to me."

I sent him $$ just in time to buy some sweats so he wasn't so cold, plus he can buy food at the vending machines since they don't give them hardly any food.

He's in there for drugs across state lines. We really need some serious prison reform.

Looking at that picture really twists my gut with rage. I want to slap the eyeglasses off her face and I want to hug and protect him. Sometimes pictures are incredibly powerful and say what no amount of words can.

There must be a law somewhere making it illegal to use the title "Shaman" without appropriate educational training, mentorship, professional exam, etc.

4 years? 6?

And yet, this guy was able to struggle through the broad and rigorous training to achieve the noble status of shamon!!!

And here we are, berating him! His insight is far superior to ours, being mere libs. We should bow to his graces!

Lets make up some phony titles for our clan, then we can be awesome also!

Thought he could try to conjure up a pardon.

He'll have to conjure up a giant toad now for a prison break.
