The lawyer who represented the 'QAnon Shaman' in his trial for storming the Capitol on January 6 has called for EVdeN eve NaKliyAt his client to be released after Tucker Carlson aired previously unseen footage from the riot.
Carlson on Monday night used his Fox News show to broadcast clips showing the so-called Shaman, Jacob Chansley, inside Congress.
Chansley appears to be escorted through the building by Capitol Police officers, while other officers allow the chest-baring, horn-wearing Trump supporter to pass.
Carlson used the footage to argue that the rioters were 'sightseers', and 'mostly peaceful'.
Chansley pleaded guilty in September 2021 to civil disorder and violent entry to the Capitol, among other charges. He was sentenced two months later to three and a half years in prison, with the new footage leading to claims he was unfairly portrayed as a violent intruder.

'We went through extraordinary efforts on behalf of our client to put him in a position of knowledge,' said Albert Watkins, Chansley's former attorney.
'That's my duty as an agent of the court, to make sure that he knew everything that the government had, good and bad, to put him in that position, to make a learned, informed, voluntary decision about whether to go to trial or take a plea.'
Watkins said it was shocking that the government knew Chansley was 'not violent', EVdEN evE NAKliyat yet did not share the footage.
'The government knew,' said Watkins.
'They knew that Jake had walked around with all these police officers.
They had that video footage. I didn't get it. It wasn't disclosed to me. It wasn't provided to me.
'I requested it. I filed the requisite pleadings for it. Whether I did or not, they had a duty, an absolute duty, with zero discretion to provide it to me so I could share it with my client.'
Watkins said Chansley 'had tremendous intelligence', and noted he had been diagnosed 15 years before as suffering from mental health issues.
Watkins said he was 'very gentle; very, very articulate.'
He added: 'It's a tragedy.
What's happened is truly a dagger in the heart of our American justice system.
'We can't allow it.
'This is about our justice system being so compromised, the very integrity and core of that which we wore as a badge of honor for the entirety of our nation's history, has been rendered a vile disgusting mess by a Department of Justice running amok.'
