Former Olympic swimming gold medalist Klete Keller was hit with federal charges Wednesday for his role in last week’s US Capitol riot — after he was caught on footage wearing his Team USA jacket at the siege, according to new court papers.
A criminal complaint filed Washington D.C. federal court charges Keller, 38, with obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The two-time gold medal winner was allegedly spotted in a video from inside the Capitol Rotunda posted last Wednesday by a reporter for the conservative news outlet Townhall.
The FBI confirmed reporting from swimming website SwimSwam that identified Keller as a bearded man seen in the clip wearing a Team USA Olympic jacket, the complaint states.
“PERSON 1 can be seen standing in the Rotunda still wearing the dark-colored USA jacket, which also appears to bear a Nike logo on the front right side and a red and white Olympic patch on the front left side,” an FBI agent wrote in court docs filed Wednesday.

They are throwing the book.
“How many people just followed the crowd in thinking it was ok?”
That very well be the case, but it’s going to cost these folks tens of thousands of dollars to explain that to the federal prosecutor and the judge.
That’s what your judicial system does.
They may not convict but they will bankrupt.
Unless someone is recorded carrying out an act of violence or destruction, that the cops were opening the doors to let people in makes it awfully hard to charge someone who, well, actually went in.
Only of you are a Trump supporter. BLM John Sullivan is a no problem person.
It’s also the first revolution in the history of human civilization where the rebels stormed the nation’s capitol while proudly waving the flag of the country whose government they were supposedly seeking to topple.
You probably know this already, but he is a long time Democrat/Socialist operative who lives to throw mud at Conservatives. And apparently he denies Gravity...
So let him spout - its fair to hear the Dem talking points.
The FumblingBumblingIdiots, XiNN and The Washingsnot Pest will be comforted to hear about this long-standing defect.
It will make crushing him in court an absolute cinch.
Oh, wait...
See this. They were preparing.

Well done
This is the third story I have read today that has named a perp at the Capitol riot. None has said anything about the political views of the person named. This says to me that either the reporter is incompetent, or the perp is a liberal. I vote for both.
“Where’s the crime?”

Apparently, being a supporter of President Trump is now a felony. Welcome to Amerika.
It’s quite obvious that Trump supporters are being arrested and the Antifa members who smashed glass to gain entry are being left alone. This is discriminatory against TRUMP SUPPORTERS! They should ALL file a discrimination lawsuit against the Feds.

Matches exactly what I and others reported in realtime on the ground on Jan 6. Pre-planned operation by bad actors.

That day I saw about 6 different people being interviewed with that exact story....they all said the just walked in following people, had no clue.
Hopefully the FBI will be honest about those people.
Federal prosecutors had best have proof and witnesses of these allegations. Simply a photo (or video) of them somewhere doesn’t even come close to the charges leveled.
Since the core group of people that catalyzed the break-in were paid actors, the MAGA people who got sucked into the mayhem should also file a class action law suit against the production company who hired all the actors, since the producers never had them sign a release for their appearance.
“THE COPS WERE OPENING THE DOORS TO LET PEOPLE IN”
Are these FBI agents not being tested for overall IQ before being allowed into the bureau?
“Hopefully the FBI will be honest about these people.”
