Jon Schaffer, a guitarist for the metal band Iced Earth, has become the first rioter to plead guilty for playing a role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol

whose angry image made him one of the faces of the pro-Trump mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol in January, has become the first rioter to plead guilty for playing a role in the attack.

A judge will decide his punishment, but the guidelines under which the deal was made recommend a prison term of 41-51 months. The plea deal described Schaffer as “a founding lifetime member of the Oath Keepers… a large but loosely organized collection of individuals, some of whom are associated with militias. Some members of the Oath Keepers, including Schaffer, believe that the federal government has been coopted by a cabal of elites actively trying to strip American citizens of their rights.”

In the plea deal, Schaffer conceded “his belief that the Electoral College results were fraudulent is not a legal justification” for attempting to forcefully advance on Congress.
