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.

Not well at all. FBI is looking for a fight. Democrats are looking for a fight. DOJ is looking for a fight. DHS is looking for a fight. NOTICE A PATTERN YET?

I guess NitWit asked the FBI to arrest him since she might be scared of being defeated... She might have the FBI arrest every candidate.

They know they have until November. And to be frank, that is nowhere near enough time.

And they are going to get what they want. They do not give a damn how many schools they have to shoot up. They [the FBI, CIA] have an endless supply of fools. All they have to do is shoot them full of bug juice, outfit them, point them in the direction they want them to go. And stand back and watch. The mainstream media will handle the rest. Soon the Public at Large will beg, no demand that the People turn their guns over to the Government. And they [those who complied] will turn in those who do not comply. It worked in England. The plan worked in Australia. It worked with Covid 19 vaccinations, mask wearing. social distancing, and lock down
violators. And it will work for gun collecting when they get ready. The Government will not have to go door to door collecting them. The Government learned a hell of a lot about sheep behavior when they released what they called Covid 19 upon the people. It will take them a while to get the people dumbed down to that point. But they will get there. They are in no hurry.
