The so-called QAnon Shaman who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week in Viking garb before sitting in Vice President Mike Pence’s chair on the Senate dais admitted to federal agents he intended to return to D.C. to “protest” President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration.

“I’ll still go, you better believe it,” Jacob Chansley bragged in an interview with FBI agents the day after the violent insurrection. “For sure I’d want to be there, as a protestor, as a protestor, fuckin’ a.”

Snip

On Friday evening, U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Fine ordered that Chansley be detained. “I have no confidence that he will follow my court orders,” Fine said, calling Chansley an “active” participant in “a violent insurrection.”

Chansley admitted that he left a chilling note on Pence’s desk stating, “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.” But he told the FBI he “did not mean his note to Vice President Pence... as a threat.”
