The Justice Department recommended that Jacob Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, be sentenced to four years behind bars, according to new court documents filed late Tuesday night. CNN.com reported Wednesday that it is the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for thus far among the Jan. 6 defendants. The documents call him "quite literally, their flagbearer" among the Jan. 6 attackers. He's slated to be sentenced by Federal Judge Royce Lamberth of the DC District Court one week from Wednesday. So far, he's been behind bars for 10 months.
