FBI ARRESTS Republican candidate for Michigan governor Ryan Kelley for 'storming the Capitol on January 6' after executing a search warrant at his home
UK Daily Mail ^ | 06/09/2022 | AP

The FBI on Thursday arrested Ryan Kelley, one of five Republican candidates for Michigan governor and charged him with a misdemeanor for his role in the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

Kelley, 40, was arrested in western Michigan and awaits a court hearing in Grand Rapids, FBI spokeswoman Mara Schneider said just hours before the committee investigating the riot were scheduled to hold their first public primetime hearing.

The stunning move comes just hours before the House January 6th committee has scheduled its first prime time hearing in a bid to unveil its first big picture look at the riot and former President Donald Trump's election overturn effort.

There was no immediate comment from Kelley's campaign. Kelley's participation in January 6 has been widely known.

In a court document, federal investigators filed photos of him in a baseball cap worn backward, trying to rally the crowd.

One photo appears to show him walking under scaffolding at the Capitol and up a set of Capitol steps, although the authorities do not claim he entered the building. A crowd of Trump supporters burst through after battling police officers and breaking down barriers.

They’ve known about him possibly being at capital since 2020-2021 and they now arrest him. Timing is suspicious. Lot of Republican Governor candidates not allowed on ballot this year due to fraudulent petition canvassers who mostly likely I’ve heard were paid by a certain party to get illegal signatures on the petitions.

James Craig was hit hard as he was number 1 contender to take out Whitmer. He used a GOP company from Texas who then outsourced it to some company in Michigan and I believe that they were dirty and ruined Craig to take him out.

In the District of Columbia, to charge a Republican is to convict him. DC juries don’t need evidence, and their leftist prosecutors know this.

People are at their wits end, and we’re going to have, IMO, a very “interesting” summer. We will not live in todays world this November. A lot will have happened by then.

Back in January of 2020 I commented to my wife that you “never hear about BLM any more.” That changed since it was an election year.

As is this year.
