'QAnon Shaman' flips and cooperates with FBI -- hands over info on accomplice





https://deadstate.org/qanon-shaman-flips-and-cooperates-with-fbi-hands-over-info-on-fellow-capitol-stormers/

Jacob Angeli, the Arizona man who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 wearing face paint and a fur hat with bull horns, is reportedly now cooperating with the FBI, and has even handed over information regarding someone who helped him travel to D.C. on that day, USA Today reports.

Angeli’s attorney says his client has given authorities video footage and details about how he traveled to D.C., along with “protracted debriefings.” He also reportedly gave the FBI the name of a person who financed his trip.

Albert Watkins, Angeli’s attorney, says his client’s cooperation was not part of any plea deal and demonstrates his “wholesale commitment” to do “what is right for the country.”

Guess someone told him playing the crazy card wasn’t going to turn out the way he thought it would.

but this IS QAnon so who knows. I did see a pic of him out of outfit in a picture with I think Flynn at what looked to be a fairly nice Q event. Nice in the sense that people were in suits and it was at a hotel conference setting.

Who knows? Maybe he has something that leads to something.

He must be crazy if he thinks that’s believable.


More like, what’s right to save his ass.

tough as he thought he looked.

I mean, who would have guessed going to prison for Trump wasn't as glamorous and rewarding as the movies would have you believe?

That someone paid for the trip, and that said person may have been part of a wider conspiracy, is one thing, but to disclose that tidbit publicly may mean they are trying to flush someone out.
