https://www.washingtonexaminer...rnor-arrested-by-fbi Republican candidate for Michigan governor Ryan Kelley was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and was taken into custody while at his home, according to local reports. It’s not entirely clear why the FBI apprehended Kelley, but the agency said it would release more information as it becomes available. The Republican candidate was seen at the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, although it’s not clear whether his presence on that day is connected to the arrest. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Timing is everything! Wow. Coincidental on the timing of the warrant and his arrest, a year and a half after January 6th and his his petition signatures to run in the Primary Election validated. Truthfully I never paid any attention to his campaign or his platform as I had planned on voting for James Craig whom I hope decides to run as a write in. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

I know how third world countries are run. This ranks right up there. As if I need more evidence the FBI, IRS, FDA, etc. have been politicized. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Typical feeb operation. Not clear why they arrested the guy, but his presence that day is connected to the arrest. Now how many others of the 1000s who were there will be arrested as well. I am reminded of the Ruby Ridge fiasco all those years ago, when the feeb sniper shot a nursing mother.

One down, 4 to go.... then all the R candidates will be out... Another action to try and further tie R candidates to outlaws or insurrectionists. Not as much about Jan 6 or about his actions, as it is about setting the stage to push back further against anyone who associates with Trump | |||

The Stasi…errrr I mean FBI is completely out of control.  Nothing like arresting your political enemies a few hours before your kangaroo court charade is due to begin. These ASSHOLES are still so afraid of Trump, they are determined to go scorched earth on anyone associated with him in order to make people afraid to be associated with the Trump brand or conservative Republicans in general. I’m telling you, these GD Democrats won’t be happy until simply being a Republican is made illegal.  | |||

Based on past practices and history, this was a politically motivated arrest meant to derail the career of the target. | |||

Michigan GOP gov. candidate Ryan Kelley tells LifeSite he’s ‘full speed ahead’ after FBI arrest https://www.lifesitenews.com/n...red&utm_campaign=usa Michigan GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Ryan Kelley told LifeSiteNews that his campaign is “full speed ahead” after his arrest by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) on Thursday morning. “This doesn’t change anything. We’re full speed ahead. The governor’s race is still on. If you didn’t know me before, you know me now. Nothing changes with the race,” Kelley said in a telephone interview. Kelley, a 40-year-old father of six and devout Catholic, was taken into custody after a team of more than 20 FBI agents raided his personal residence in the small town of Allendale, Michigan on Thursday morning while his children were at home. He was served with four misdemeanor charges related to his presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Kelley, who has been an Allendale Township Trustee and enjoys a successful real estate career, has consistently maintained innocence of any wrongdoing. Approximately 50 supporters greeted Kelley at the courthouse Thursday when he was set free on his own recognizance around 3 p.m. He made no statements to the media at the time. Further developments with his case are expected in the coming weeks. Thus far, Kelley has run an effective grassroots-focused campaign. He has been an outspoken critic of COVID mandates and is an ardent supporter of medical freedom. Kelley’s list of competitors decreased several weeks ago when former Detroit Police Chief James Craig and businessman Perry Johnson were told they would not appear on the ballot due to signature discrepancies. Both were considered moderates. The Republican race for governor is now, in effect, down to Kelley, Kevin Rinke, media personality Tudor Dixon, and chiropractor-turned-politician Garrett Saldano. Dixon is generally seen as the state establishment’s preferred choice, having just won the endorsement of the wealthy DeVos family, of which former U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is a member. Saldano, meanwhile, has been grappling with Kelley for grassroots support. Former President Donald Trump is yet to give his endorsement to either of the candidates. Michigan for Vaccine Choice regional director Maija Hahn told LifeSite she believes the timing of Kelley’s arrest is intentional. “They’ve waited this long to go after Ryan once they knew he was the frontrunner for the Republican race,” she said. “He’s building and gaining momentum. So obviously this was a political move to discredit Ryan.” “Ryan is a good man. A husband, father, and patriot who loves his country, who sees this country is in danger by a biased media and corrupt government,” Hahn continued. “He’s doing everything he can to defend truth and justice. He is not a terrorist. He was not in the Capitol building that day.” Kristen Meghan Kelley, who is also active in the medical freedom movement in Michigan, told LifeSite she thinks the arrest was politically motivated as well. “Ryan is running on a platform that aligns with the constitution and individual liberty,” she said. “He was kidnapped by the federal government. This is a witch hunt. I believe Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer sees him as an actual grassroots threat. This arrest was intended to scare him or disparage his name. In reality, he has garnered even more support in this one day.”  Image of criminal complaintKelley is running on what his campaign calls a “Michigan First Policy” that emphasizes the importance of election integrity, medical freedom, the 2nd Amendment, and the right to life from the moment of conception. A May 27 Target-Insyght/MIRS poll had him ahead of the GOP primary field by a margin of 4 points over the next of three challengers with a recent surge of net sentiments rising by 86%. Kelley’s arrest comes on the same day that the Democratic-led House of Representatives Select Committee investigating the events of January 6 begins its first of several hearings to present evidence it has collected. Last year, Revolver News issued a report on U.S. Department of Justice court filings that indicated how FBI operatives may have not only participated in the January 6 riot but had a role in actually organizing it as a means of entrapment. Amplifying and summarizing this report, Tucker Carlson said at the time, “FBI operatives were organizing the attack on the Capitol on January 6, according to government documents.” To learn more about Kelley’s candidacy, click here to access his campaign website. https://ryandkelley.com/ _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

A lot of people are waking up in this state. From a Governor that during the Pandemic installed a policy of “Rules for thee and not for me”, like the first place she opened for travel coincidentally in the spring of 2020 was coincidentally was where her summer home and boat was. She also held a gathering with her friends in a bar in East Lansing with double the attendees that were legal under her emergency orders. Of her friends outed her. Coincidentally again there were thirteen participants, she had her own Judas. An Attorney General that gets falling down ( literally) drunk at a sporting event. A Secretary of State that threw the whole motor vehicle registration system in chaos even before Covid. Her only cry was that she needed a bigger budget. Yes, we’re getting fed up here! -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.
