The Justice Department is asking for the so-called QAnon Shaman, who wore a headdress and posed shirtless on the Senate floor during the siege of the US Capitol, to be sentenced to a prison term of more than four years, the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for any guilty January 6 defendant so far, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors' request for the high-profile Capitol riot defendant Jacob Chansley is as a harsh assessment of his crime and calls him "quite literally, their flagbearer" among the mob on January 6.
In their sentencing request to the judge filed late Tuesday night, prosecutors made clear they hope to use Chansley's sentence as an example to deter future attacks on the government.
The attempted coup, prosecutors wrote, "has made us all question the safety and security of the country in which we live."
"Those enormous harms, borne out of the acts of this defendant, must be deterred so that we never see a similar assault on our democracy again," they continued.
Chansley is set to be sentenced next Wednesday by Federal Judge Royce Lamberth of the DC District Court, as one of the first felony defendants to receive his punishment. He has been in jail for nearly 10 months.

Was he violent?
I hope the Democrats keep pushing it.
Doesn’t sound like he has any Defense Counsel.
I figured the court would appoint someone ready to present a flimsy case that would not work to defend him at all.
The moral of the story if burn down a minority owned business in a Blue City and face no consequences.
LARP into a politician personal space after being waved in by the Police, life in prison without possibility of Parole...unless you publicly denounce the party out of power.
Literal Flagbearer and General of the Armies Jacob Chansley barks out commands to the gathered Insurrectionists, inflicting Fear and Awe on our cowering Congress. There hasn't been a similar threat to American Democracy since our British cousins burned down the White House.
No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service.....or was that 6 years in prison?
Why did security let in all of these people and can someone point to any violence that took place within the Capitol Building that was not from a crazy policeman?
He’s better off than Ashlee Babbitt.
Even though he is Antifa, that is excessive.
The prosecutors sound like histrionic personality disorders.
The elites are frightened.
The current ‘safety & security’ of the USA is at risk-—but NOT due to anyone at Jan 6 antics.

He is a goof ball.
It was NOT a siege. It was NOT an insurrection. STOP LYING!!!!
He did nothing.
Deep state scum
He just needs to keep trusting the plan.
Asking these people to stop lying is like asking them to stop breathing.
