On September 3, Chansley pleaded guilty when the prosecution sought to impose a very heavy sentence of 51 months in prison. His lawyers, on the other hand, sought to consider as part of the sentence the time he had already spent in detention.
Wanted to remove the “traitors”
“The government seeks to emphasize the importance that the defendant had as one of the key figures in the historic onslaught on the Capitol on January 6, 2021,” the prosecution said. “His rhetoric before and after the incident, and his ability to carry out his wishes in order to violently remove the ‘traitors’ in our government, is very clear in the case in question.”
There are dozens of videos and photos showing Chancley holding a spear in the Senate plenum, where the prosecution alleges he led a group of worshipers and left a threatening letter to then-Vice President Mike Pence.
The only one to receive a similar punishment to Chensley was Scott Pirleram, who received 41 months in prison for assaulting a police officer during the Capitol break-in incident.
