The top GOP Gubernatorial Candidate against, Gretchen Whitmer in MI, Ryan Kelley was arrested today by The FBI in connection with the Jan 6th Riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought, \u201cOkay, what are the charges? Gotta be something BIG if The freakin FBI is involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope, it\u2019s all misdemeanor charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misdemeanor<\/strong><\/em>???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the fuck? I suppose it\u2019s an FBI matter since it\u2019s federal. But surely the freakin FBI has better things to do with their time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about hunting down ANTIFA or BLM protesters who firebombed the Federal Building in Portland? That seems far more worthy of the FBI\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An FBI agent\u2019s sworn testimony says Mr. Kelley was seen in a video, standing in a crowd of people who were \u201cassaulting and pushing past law enforcement officers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note, that this testimony does not say<\/strong> Mr. Kelly was \u201cassaulting and pushing past law enforcement officers,\u201d only that he was standing<\/em> in the crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal complaint charges Kelley with, “…knowingly entering restricted grounds without lawful authority, disorderly conduct, knowingly engaging in acts of physical violence against property on restricted grounds and willfully injuring U.S. property.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know, this seems pretty damn thin\u2026 Wonder how they’re going to prove it in court. I could see the Restricted Grounds charge. But the others, they better have video, fingerprints, and DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other images alleged<\/em>, (I added alleged. Reuters and the FBI statement, said it as fact,) to show Kelly climbing a feature near the northwest stairs of the building. The FBI Statement further says, \u201cHe then can be seen in video footage waving his hand to encourage the crowd to move toward the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, they missed the word alleged<\/em>. The FBI, the courts, and the jury, won\u2019t actually know if Mr. Kelly was waving to an individual, with whom he may have been traveling, who was separated from Kelly in the melee, until the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it so interesting, that a dude drives an SUV through a crowd injuring a bunch of people, and he\u2019s always referred to as the alleged driver. Or that a carjacker in LA seen running from the carjacked vehicle and is caught by the police is always referred to as the Alleged<\/em> criminal. Even if every single TV station has video of the entire carjacking and the perpetrator exiting the vehicle. But in cases where it\u2019s someone who could be deemed an enemy of the state, Alleged<\/em> is often forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further in the article, reference is made to a confidential tip coming into the FBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm, You mean like all the confidential tips about angry parents at school board meetings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a link to the actual article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michigan Republican governor candidate Ryan Kelley arrested for Capitol riot role<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose I\u2019m just super skeptical\u2026 This sounds more like dirty tricks than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder if he\u2019ll take it all to court and demand a full public trial by jury?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
