FBI arrests Ryan Kelley, Michigan GOP governor candidate, over Capitol riots https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-g...gan-gop-governor-candidate-over-capitol-riots LANSING — The FBI on Thursday arrested Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley and raided his home, a stunning development in one of the state’s most unpredictable primary races. A criminal complaint filed in Washington D.C. federal court shows Kelley is facing multiple misdemeanor charges for his role in protests at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the building to try to stop certification of President Joe Biden's win. The FBI executed both a search warrant and arrest warrant at Kelley's home in Allendale Township in western Michigan and arrested Kelley, spokesperson Mara Schneider told Bridge Michigan. Kelley is expected to appear before a judge later Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids. Video reviewed by Bridge Michigan appeared to show FBI agents leading Kelley into a gray SUV with them shortly before 9:30 a.m. (More at above url)
New York Times video blows the lid off Proud Boys' 'central role' in inciting Capitol mob https://www.rawstory.com/proud-boy-capitol/ The New York Times published a 17-minute video showing how the Proud Boys coordinated the assault on the U.S. Capitol. The newspaper compiled evidence from court documents, text messages and hundreds of videos shot by participants to show the right-wing militant group instigating multiple breaches of the Capitol as lawmakers certified the election of Joe Biden. Five members of the group -- Joe Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Enrique Tarrio, Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl -- are charged with seditious conspiracy for their roles in the attack, and the video shows some of them explicitly laying out their plan to storm the Capitol and overturn Donald Trump's election loss. "This time we're not going to be wearing the colors that you're used to seeing us in," Biggs says in a video recorded before the riot. "Nope, this time myself and other leadership have decided we're going to go incognito. We're going to be blending in ... you aren't going to know who the f*ck is standing beside you. Could be Antifa, could be me." The House Select Committee singled out Biggs in the first public hearing as the lead instigator of the first breach of Capitol security, and federal prosecutors have alleged that he and other Proud Boys leaders coordinated the assault with members of the right-wing Oath Keepers militia. "I want to see thousands of normies burn that city to ash today," said one unindicted co-conspirator, according to court records highlighted by the Times.

Watched the whole video. Excellent reporting. I actually started sweating a bit while watching just from outrage. I hope some of these guys do hard time, along with their Dear Leader, who will have disavowed them by then, and I hope they give him his comeuppance behind bars.
Turns out maybe the Oathkeepers insurrection legal defense is being paid by a close Trump associate. But they have nothing to do with each other. Is anyone surprised?
Here Are the Members of Congress Who Asked Trump for Pardons After January 6 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-trump-for-pardons-after-january-6/ar-AAYNpwy At the outset of the fifth public hearing of the January 6 committee on Thursday, Vice Chair Liz Cheney said that later in the proceedings, the committee would present a list of members of Congress who requested pardons from then-President Donald Trump. Seeking a pardon is not itself an admission of guilt, legally speaking, but it would seem to be an indication that these individuals believed they were in significant legal peril due to what they had done between Election Day and January 6. Cassidy Hutchinson, a Trump White House aide, mentioned some of the following names while testifying under oath. White House staffer John McEntee also confirmed some. For your records, here's the list: Mo Brooks Matt Gaetz Andy Biggs Louie Gohmert Scott Perry Marjorie Taylor Greene In addition, while Hutchinson said Jim Jordan did not ask for a pardon, he did inquire about the prospect of pardons. To get this all cleared up and establish they did nothing wrong, might we suggest these folks agree to testify under oath before the January 6 committee?
The DOJ investigation into the January 6th seditious conspiracy is expanding into the fake electors in multiple states. Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward — and her husband — hit with DOJ subpoenas: report https://www.rawstory.com/kelli-ward-jan-6/ The Department of Justice investigation into Donald Trump's conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election with phony electors continues to heat up and now includes another top GOP leader. "Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward and her husband Michael — who were among the false pro-Trump electors — have received grand jury subpoenas, according to a source familiar with the matter," Politico's Kyle Cheney reported. On Wednesday, the FBI reportedly executed a search warrant on Michael McDonald, the chairman of the Nevada Republican Party. Georgia Republican Party Chair David Shafer was served with a subpoena. Georgia lawyer Brad Carver and Trump staffer Thomas Lane were also subpoenaed. Allegheny County Republican Party chairman Sam DeMarco was interviewed by the FBI and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was also implicated in the plot. All six of the fake electors in Nevada received subpoenas, as did at least two fake electors in Michigan.
That "evil, evil man" according to Fox and Friends. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fox-fred-rogers-evil/ Fred Rogers, the beloved host of the long-running children’s television show “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” died in 2003. In July 2007, the hosts of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” morning program — Alisyn Camerota, Steve Doocy, and Brian Kilmeade — aired a segment (using titles such as “Blame Mr. Rogers,” “Was Mr. Rogers Wrong?” and “Is Mr. Rogers Ruining Kids?”) in which they took Rogers to task as an “evil, evil man” for supposedly encouraging generations of children to grow up with a sense of self-entitlement:
