In his very first network television interview in 118 days, Joe Biden promised on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on June 8th to imprison political opponents linked in any way to the events of Jan. 6, 2021. The very next morning, Biden’s FBI detained the leading Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley, who was at the Capitol on the day Democrats have unilaterally christened as a national day of mourning.
Kelley was jailed Thursday early morning on “unspecified” charges, according to The Detroit News, after federal agents ransacked his house near Grand Rapids.
The obvious timing of the arrest, mere hours before the illegitimate, hyper-partisan Select Committee on Jan. 6 introduces its prime-time summer season propaganda trials, raises questions over to what degree the FBI is conspiring with Congress as legislators carry out a political witch hunt in the lower chamber. The FBI has already obstructed Republican demands for the very same materials that were presented to Democrats on the committee, and recently, previous Trump Trade Adviser Peter Navarro was detained by agents days prior to the June 9th hearing. He was the very first to be prosecuted on charges connected to the panel’s work.
Kelley, a popular realtor, led the contentious GOP gubernatorial primary in Michigan, with 19 percent in the most recent major poll carried out May 26-27 by the Target Insyght and Michigan Information and Research Service.
The convenient timing of his arrest is similar to the fall of 2020, when one month prior to the presidential election, FBI representatives ‘uncovered’ an attempted kidnapping plot targeted at incumbent Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, to create anti-Trump headlines of extremism. In April, a jury found the four men caught in the conspiracy innocent as evidence proved that the FBI led the operation as a means of entrapment.
“More than a dozen FBI undercover agents and informants were involved in the kidnapping caper,” reported Julie Kelly, a senior writer at American Greatness, in documenting FBI misconduct.
In September, The New York Times released a report validating the existence of an FBI informant at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Newsweek then exposed in January that the Department of Justice released “national” forces from the FBI at Quantico to the Capitol structure with “shoot-to-kill authority.”
Jill Sanborn, the executive assistant director for the FBI’s National Security Branch, refused to answer senators’ concerns about the scope of the agency’s participation at the Capitol during a January hearing on domestic terrorism.
