The judge, a Reagan appointee FWIW, said Jacob Chansley was a flight risk.
If anyone is new here, "QAnon Shaman" a.k.a. Jake Angeli, a.k.a. Jacob Chansley, is an actor with a history of attending climate & BLM rallies before he began associating with the "QAnon" movement. He immediately denounced Q and Trump after getting arrested for his part in the "insurrection" of Jan. 6.
His not being released lends "some" credibility that he was working on Trump's side. Probably the only credibility he has at this point.
I always saw it as, he’s not being released so white hats can’t follow him back to his antifa/BLM world. He’s being protected while “being in custody”...
I disagree. He was a failed project that few were falling for. The only purpose he served it would seem was as MSM fodder. Of course they'd cut him loose and leave his ass in jail.
Now, if his schtick would've resonated via the tubers and podcasters he was chummy with, he may have never been arrested in the first place.
Fortunately, most in the anon research community are not so easily duped by DS fuckery. DS Shammy = 0. Anons = +1
Occams Razor. Was probably recruited out of that movement, not placed. Useful and willing tool scenario.
