Schaffer came to Washington in November 2020 for the “Million MAGA March" to protest the results of the election. He told a journalist there that a “group of thugs and criminals hijacked this country," adding: “We see you, and you’re going down, mark my words,” according to court papers. He was inside for about 10 minutes, didn't participate in any violence and destruction and already spent about three months in jail after his arrest, his attorney, Marc Victor said. Schaffer believed the 2020 election was fraudulent and that the country was “on the verge of a takeover" when he stormed the Capitol, Victor told the judge.
