FBI arrests Michigan gubernatorial candidate on charges related to involvement in January 6 riot

A GOP Michigan gubernatorial candidate, Ryan Kelley, was arrested Thursday on misdemeanor charges related to his involvement in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, according to the Justice Department.

"Ryan Kelley, 40, of Allendale, Michigan, was arrested this morning on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol breach. He was arrested in Allendale. Mr. Kelley is to make his initial appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan," said Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in the District of Columbia.

The Detroit FBI field office confirmed Kelley's arrest and said his home was searched on Thursday morning.

Why didn't she stick around and try to push the 25th? Or was it not just that likely to happen?

What I remember being reported is they discussed it but they weren't sure who legally counted as cabinet as far as having a vote and weren't sure if it could stick if they went through with it so they scrapped the idea.

That seems weird to me. And possibly like a cop out.

Cheney said we're going to see evidence that Trump said Pence deserved it (the hanging chants).

If this doesn’t end with Trump unable to run for future office then this country’s future is in serious peril.

If the evidence presented here doesn’t piss you off, you’re not a patriotic American; all you are is a Republican.

[DINGO Joe]

If the evidence presented here doesn’t piss you off, you’re not a patriotic American; all you are is a Republican.

Amusingly, virtually all of the evidence tonight is from.....Republicans.

I think a rerun of Friends might get better ratings than the J6 committee gets in primetime.

Last night was watched by 20 million Americans, which beats the original airing of most episodes of Friends and easily beats the number of *weekly* viewers it had in syndication.

The attack at the Capitol was highly controversial, because Americans are divided over whether killing politicians is good and if so which ones.

That's not news.

What do you think happens to people with arrest warrants even for misdemeanors?

Fox will join the other networks in carrying tomorrow’s hearing.

Yeah they'll probably do all daytime hearings.

I’m pretty sure they’ve had more than enough evidence for over a year.

But will this actually happen?

I feel like it'll either cause civil war or civil unrest, or both...no matter what happens.

Okay but ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX and the other networks who aired it combined certainly have more than 20 million viewers during the hearing hours.
