FBI agents arrested Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley this morning while executing search and arrest warrants at his home. (RELATED: Lauren Boebert Under Investigation for Tax Fraud)
FBI spokeswoman Special Agent Mara Schneider confirmed that agents raided Kelley’s residence in Allendale, near Grand Rapids.
As the Detroit Free Press reports:
Kelley was arrested “on misdemeanor charges stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol breach,” and is to appear in federal court in Grand Rapids Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
Kelley, who sells real estate, was at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. when protestors rioted and illegally entered the building on Jan. 6, 2021, though he never confirmed he went inside and has denied doing anything illegal.
Police officers at certain entrances did allow members of the crowd to enter the Capitol Building, in some cases waving them in. (RELATED: First Outright Acquittal Given to Jan. 6 Defendant)
The Free Press has more on Kelley’s campaign and details from today’s court documents:
He is one of five Republican candidates on the August primary ballot for governor, after five other candidates were disqualified.
In an affidavit related to Thursday’s complaint, an agent said Kelley was seen on video “wearing a black hat and a black coat … in a crowd of people who are assaulting and pushing past law enforcement officers.” Kelley also “climbed onto and stood on an architectural feature next to the North West stairs and indicated by waving his hand that the crowd behind him should move towards the stairs” leading into the building, the affidavit said.
The latest survey showed Kelley leading the GOP primary. His rise in the polls followed a controversial decision by state election officials to remove the leading Republican gubernatorial candidates from the ballot (over alleged signature forgeries).

Although still considered vulnerable, incumbent Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has a commanding lead over her remaining GOP competitors, who have low name ID.

Well, that’s one way the Left Wing FBI can keep their Democrat handlers in office.
So sad when they go to extremes for someone standing up for what he knows is right and did nothing wrong and yet they dismiss Maxine Waters for using our tax dollar, security to go to Minn. to protest the George Floyd trial and that they saw was ok. We are filled with FBI and Congress Mockers and men/women of wisdom need to read Proverb’s 9 about these mockers like Pelosi and others. It is time to quit this nonsense!!
It is even sadder when the speaker of the house is allowed to condone the 2020 riots by saying, “They have to do what they must”, and the Vice President asking for funds to bail out the ones who were caught rioting. Now that is so sad it is sickening.
DON’T MESS WITH THE USA’S HIGH PLACE!
Washington D.C.’s Capitol is the biblically egregious Constitutional Republic’s High Place (and her Congressmen and women her high priests and priestesses) that must not be defiled!
The uproar from her priests and priestesses is essentially no different than the uproar from the idolaters in Acts 19 enraged at the Apostle Paul and his companions for defiling the Temple of Diana, who, in turn, cried out for two solid hours “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
Americans, ironically led by alleged Christians, have been crying out for over 230 YEARS :”Great is Constitution of the Americans!”
That’s right, we’re talking about idolatry!
Idolatry is not so much about statues as it is statutes, such as what one considers the supreme law of the land. There can only be on supreme law: 1) The Constitution, per Article 6, or 2) Yahweh’s moral law, per the Bible.
To attempt to futilely meld the two is to be as double-minded as were the Israelites on Mt. Carmel with Elijah: Why halt ye between two opinions? If We the People (a contemporary form of Baal) be God, serve them. If Yahweh be God, serve Him!

An “agent” said……. Was that one of the agents from different agencies that encouraged and entrapped some of the attendees at the event. I would like to know why the the only person killed on that day was killed. No one seems to have an answer.
Actually there were four persons killed that day. Nobody is talking about them–particularly the woman R Boylan that a capital police officer beat with her baton until she was dead. Justice now please!
Can’t beat them, have the Gestapo arrest them.
Boy, it really seems Gretchen is running scared that she has to have 5 candidates disqualified, and another put under investigation. Let’s not forget she is a chairperson in the Dem party for Joe, and was a contender for VP.
As to the disqualified – put them on the ballot and let the voters determine who is or is not eligible or worthy to be elected. What is she afraid of?
That’s how Obama became a senator.
Okay and so a guy named Ray Epp was also caught on video inciting people to enter the building, yet he was not charged. He was apparently planted by someone to aggravate the situation.
This is out and out political corruption and the fact that this is allowed to happen unabated tells me that the only thing that we have left is a full scale Revolution to take our country back from this whole sedition and take-over which denied the fraud that deprived 74 million plus Republican voters of their vote by allowing fraud. Every single law says Trump won. Every single bit of EMPIRACLE EVIDENCE shows that Donald Trump won. The media including social media plus the Democrat Party crime cartel is pushing the biggest cover-up in history and nobody in this country has the guts to enforce the Federal Election law which states the election ends at midnight of “ELECTION DAY” period and all counting stops and the Officeholder is selected right after midnight. This is the law and it has been affirmed by the United States Supreme Court. It is set forth as “ELECTION DAY” in the Constitution and nobody in this country has the right to ignore it or not enforce it. To the United States Supreme Court and The Department of Justice: DO YOUR DAMN JOB OR WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
SO CORRUPT
BLOODY REVOLUTION IS NOW A MUST !
EMPIRICAL!
Bet his poll numbers just jumped 8 points. Democrats keep shooting yourselves in the foot.
Soros WHORE is out of control. ALL RED STATES MUST REMOVE ALL DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES FROM BALLOT IN SOLIDARITY. TIME TO FIGHT THESE TRAITORS. WHITMER NEEDS NOOSE

The day will come when the FBI and their Communist Democrats will be going to prison for their crimes against the people of this great country, right they act no better than Hitler and the Nazis. GOD BLESS A FREE THINKING USA
Many years ago Mayor Marion Berry of Washington D.C. was convicted of felonies, and after his release was reelected Mayor of Washington D.C. He was allowed to run AFTER being convicted. That is why the Governor is scared. She IS afraid what the people will decide.
A great quip from Robin Williams, which will live on because it is so true,
“Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed frequently,”
And for the same reason.
Anything to get the patriots no matter what it takes.
It’s interesting that more and more of Fraulein Fuhrer Gertie Witless’ potential contenders for her gubernatorial crown are either “disqualified” or now being “arrested” by the demoRATS controlled gestapo, aka Fumbling Bunch of Idiots. Groper Joe Bribedem is paying her back for not selecting her instead of the Frisco HO.
So if they can arrest him why haven’t they arrested the pipe boom deliver and the FBI agent telling folks to enter the capital? Again democrats abusing their so called power.
