QAnon follower Doug Jensen convicted on all Jan. 6 charges

Source: CBS

Washington, D.C., jury convicted high-profile U.S. Capitol riot defendant on all seven federal counts Friday, after four hours of deliberation.

Doug Jensen, a QAnon conspiracy theorist from Iowa, was accused of being among the first to breach the U.S. Capitol and was at the front of the mob that chased U.S. Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman up the stairs of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

A Washington, D.C., jury convicted high-profile U.S. Capitol riot defendant on all seven federal counts Friday, after four hours of deliberation.

Doug Jensen, a QAnon conspiracy theorist from Iowa, was accused of being among the first to breach the U.S. Capitol and was at the front of the mob that chased U.S. Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman up the stairs of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Goodman testified in the trial that he felt boxed in and engulfed by the mob led by Jensen. Prosecutors showed video from that day in which Goodman was seen leading the mob away from the Senate floor, where senators were sheltering at the time. He said that he ran across Sen. Mitt Romney in the hall and urged him to return to the floor, where he would be safer.

He also testified that he had suffered a blow to the head from an item thrown from within the mob. He recalled being overcome by bear spray at one point and retreating to the Capitol Rotunda to wash his eyes. While in the Rotunda, Goodman vomited into a bucket before running back outside to the confront the rioters, according to his testimony.

He probably saved many lives by luring them up the steps. Qnut Jensen blames the pandemic for his actions. He was there to kill Pence.

They have so much video and audio evidence, the rioters practially convict themselves.

day in Hell before this guy ever sees the light of day!

I further predict that I'm going to laugh heartily at this defendant's felony convictions while at the same time, applauding this hero's actions to stop any possible harm from coming to any Senators, House members.

He's a hero. He's my anti-MAGA repellent. Something that I feel is sorely needed in some corners of the Country where the stench of MAGAism runs rampant.
