Former Olympic swimming star Klete Keller pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge stemming from the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
During a brief appearance in federal court in Washington, he pleaded guilty to a single charge of obstructing an official proceeding, a felony with an estimated sentencing range under federal guidelines of 21 to 27 months.
In return, the government dropped one other felony charge and five misdemeanor counts.
His attorney, Edward MacMahon, told the judge that Keller "is trying to make amends for his terrible mistake," is embarrassed, and "wants to start his life over."
Prosecutors asked the judge to defer sentencing. They said Keller has agreed to cooperate in their investigation of the Capitol riot and could be called upon to testify in related court proceedings.

What a sorry piece of fake news.
If I were the accused....I’d make the pathetic Doj drop the hammer on me, and try to prove it...
The burden of proof for criminal charges falls on the gub-ment.
That’s why so many murderers walk Scott free everyday.... Gub-ment prosecutors are C- students at best.
The only reason why the January 6 protest was “deadly” was that an unarmed white woman was assassinated by a black law enforcement officer.
“Deadly” riot
Notice how the assassination of Ashli Babbitt fit the scenario
How many of the Kavanaugh protestors (https://twitter.com/womensmarch/status/1048629578938368000) were charged with obstructing an official proceeding?
No, that’s not the reason..It showed the world that the dems could be gotten to .....That’s what they are terrified of..That’s why the Jan 6th people are being treated so badly..They showed the world that the congress could be invaded and destroyed....
It also is a good way to stop people from supporting outsiders like Trump.
Like these people they will keep you locked in solitary for 10 years before you even have a hearing. Just a few years ago this poor boy, Keleif Browder, was arrested and sent to Riker’s on a charge sans bail for three years and finally found “not guilty” and then killed himself and there was justifiable outrage.
Yet... The very same liberals want some grandma who walked on the capitol lawn locked up for life.
The “siege” was staged.
This is such prosecutorial BS
So much for due process.
I hope Trump pardons him and many others...
I’ll bet they have spent months studying what possible charges
they could levy against him, and listed them all in the
complaint.
One wonders what these same mother -——— could come up with
if they actually pulled their head out of their ass, and
took a look at Portland and so many other cities across the
nation.
Rioting, Looting, Arson, Murder, criminal conspiracy, violation
of people’s civil rights, insurrection, national sovereignty
issues...
Those are some pretty heave-weight crimes with penalties
that make the ones against this guy look like child’s play.
Mostly peaceful...
So, what exactly did the Jan. 6 gathering accomplish? The stated goal seemed to be to ‘stop the steal’. Did breaking into Congress achieve that goal? The whole thing was a disaster and only served to give the libs ammo to smear conseratives.
“Deadly” because the police killed Ashley Babbitt.
The MSM pops a bottle of champagne in ashli babbits honor every time they can use the words “ deadly attack” when referencing january 6th.
January 6th, — the worst planned government take over ever planned. They didn’t bring food ,water, guns ,ammo, bullet proof armor, any vehicles, any support troops, nothing!. It was a suicide mission from the start.
Who’s that stupid? or a better question, who’s stupid enough to believe it was a serious attempt to take over the government. Hell, the “rioters” didn’t even bring any fake ballots!
and DC security guard gets away with murder

The whole thing was a set up. It provided cover for wavering RINOs in Congress to approve the Electoral College vote that evening. Patriots found out that family, co-workers, neighbors and acquaintances are more then happy to turn them in to the FBI and they also found out that that once arrested, they’ll be abandoned by others and will be on their own. Making others rather leery about fighting for what is right.
