Bill Shipley, the lawyer representing Jan. 6 defendant Jacob Chansley – dubbed the “QAnon Shaman” by the media – has taken steps to vacate Chansley’s 41-month sentence next week.
On Friday, Shipley sent a letter to Assistant U.S. Attorney Kimberly Paschall to ask about the factual basis of the government’s representation of Chansley’s case in a separate lawsuit. He said he’s “prepping the battlefield” for a prospective filing to request the court to vacate Chansley’s conviction.
Shipley’s move came as part of the ripple effect from newly surfaced surveillance footage of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol breach aired by Fox News’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on March 6.
