Olympic swimmer Klete Keller faces new charges over Capitol riots

Klete Keller, a two-time Olympics gold medallist swimmer, is facing new charges in connection with the 6 January riots at the US Capitol.

The 6ft 6in (1.9m) tall swimmer was identified in photos of the riots because of his stature and the fact he was wearing a Team USA jacket.

He was initially charged with three counts, but this was increased to seven by a grand jury earlier in the week.

Mr Keller has not commented on the charges against him.

Just show them the video of the police letting them in.

Then tell them to arrest the police for dereliction of duty.

With all charges dropped against the 2017 Antifa demonstrators, this is just malicious and selective prosecution.

We now have the same system of governmnet that China has.

We should remove all likenesses of the Founders from our nation.

We are not that nation any longer.

Klete may want to think about leaving his Olympic jacket at home.

This is an old fashioned Communist roundup. What exactly did he do besides just being there. If he broke stuff sure then he should be arrested but is because they just saw him in a video? The media is trying desperately to keep this riot front and center.

The FBI knew ahead of time and nothing was down to reinforce the building with cops to keep people out.

They ended up letting people in by default and the benefit of that is that the people allowed in would end up being incriminated by being allowed in.

See tagline.

Political prisoners. America is truly a banana republic. Not only do we have a fraudulent election, we saw an overthrow of a legitimate government, a puppet regime in place, and a military junta in our capital.

And to complete the entire picture of a banana republic, we now see political prisoners. Innocent patriots being put on trial.

“With all charges dropped against the 2017 Antifa demonstrators, this is just malicious and selective prosecution.”

Exactly. All of the “conservative” pundits keep reinforcing the left’s talking points. Very few on our side seems to be questioning the double standard when it comes to accountability.

Maybe he will get the death penalty like they do in Iran.

And meanwhile, that same FBI isn’t investigating massive voter fraud - or violent riots across the county conducted for months by BLM and Antifa - or foreign influence in our financial and political systems, or..

No one in government is on the side of justice or freedom.

Are there sites that support the legal defense of actual Trump supporters arrested during this roundup?

Bingo! Month after month of arson, looting, Federal buildings attacked, and nary an arrest let alone a prosecution.

Will “Dizzny” close the Hall of Presidents or just remove the Honkies, Crackers and other White dudes?

Jury nullification. One not guilty vote is needed in every FBI/DOJ related case, bar none.
It isn’t just for OJ anymore.

How about some American as in USA Flags with big bahnanahs(the pronunciation of a certain Canadian Pundit) on them signifying our newest classification as a nation state. Will the National Guard be taught to Goosestep next?

Some of them, and all of the demon news people, call anyone in or out of the capitol a 'Trump supporter.'

"And here we see Trump supporters breaking windows."

How do we stop this? How can we stop them? The left and their minions are absolutely in control and we have no recourse but to act for ourselves while our nation goes to hell. How do we end their reign of terror?

The government has one fatal flaw....they like to not work. They all come home. No more numbers or fences to protect them. Its literally Custer coming into Little Big Horn. Make their lives miserable everytime they come home until they decide, its just not worth it anymore. That sends the signal to the next generation of politicians what they will be up against. DO WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO!
