Chansley's Lawyer Speaks

[Horace]

That sound you heard wasn't the clang of his prison bars closing on his way out.

It was the sound of our very Democracy, screaming in terror. Knowing that a vicious alpha predator is again on the loose, hunting for our Democracy's very soul.

[Doctor Phibes]

Basically, he's a bit of a nutter. Hopefully they don't let him buy any guns.

[Jolly]

Is there anything Tucker can't do?

[Copper]

Let's hope he has learned his lesson.

We don't want to see him wandering the Capitol with armed police escorting him and opening doors for him.

Do you think they would have let this guy out early without the tapes on Tucker's show?

I haven't looked into the details and policies, but the word is that such a release is within the standards of the DOJ. Good behavior, etc.

I really have no idea. The guy clearly has a few screws loose. Hopefully he'll get some help.

Within standards, perhaps.

But have you seen any leniency in any charges or sentencing for Jan 6 folks?

This didn't pass the sniff test...

Let me make something CLEAR.

The videos released and played on Fox News DID NOT play a role in any "early release" for Jake Chansely.

Al Watkins claiming that to be the case is FALSE and is Watkins to continuing to deflect blame away from himself for his horrible work.

Jake's sentence was 42 months.

The final 6 months are ALWAYS in a Halfway House by BOP police. So total custodial time was going to be 36 months.

But there are programs in BOP that allow a prisoner to earn credit on his sentence beyond "Good Time" credit.

Jake took advantage of those opportunities.

He was arrested in Jan 2021, and was detained the entire time. He served 26+ months in custody.

When I first spoke with him in Nov. 2021, I told him his release date was likely Feb. 2023.

He thought it would be early 2024.

Al Watkins never explained to him how custodial time calculations work.

Jake was released on exactly the time frame that I predicted to him, and the slight delay was only from getting some paperwork processed internal to BOP to give him credit for a program he completed.

We have known the release date for a period of time, but kept it quiet so as to not have a crowd show up at either the BOP facility or the Halfway House.

Al Watkins deserves NO CREDIT nor is he absolved of his failures while representing Jake.

That's pretty bad, if true. It looks as though Chansley showed almost as much skill in selecting his lawyers as Trump.
