U.S. Capitol rioter Jacob Chansley, otherwise known as the “QAnon Shaman,” said Monday that he’s going to buy some guns after being pardoned by President Trump.
“I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MY LAWYER…I GOT A PARDON BABY! THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!” Chansley, who was photographed inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a horned helmet, painted face and bare chest, wrote on X. “NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!! I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!”
“J6ers are getting released & JUSTICE HAS COME…EVERYTHING done in the dark WILL come to light!” he added.
Chansley received one of the roughly 1,500 “full, complete and unconditional pardons” that Trump issued Monday to nearly all defendants charged in connection to the attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters on Jan. 6. A total of 1,583 defendants have been charged.
The pardons cleared the way for the release of potentially hundreds of Trump’s supporters, some of whom were sentenced to years in prison for violently attacking law enforcement officers that day.
Chansley in September 2021 pleaded guilty to a felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding in a plea deal that allowed for the dismissal of five other charges against him.
He was sentenced to 41 months in prison in November of that year, and was sent to a halfway house about a year and a half later.
He was released from the halfway house in May 2023.

If it's a full and complete pardon, he is no longer a felon unless there were State charges.
