To paraphrase Martin Blank, if the FBI shows up at your door, chances are you did something to bring them there.

And these are the best candidates the GOP can come up with to challenge Whitmer??

Side note: I'm waiting for the "The FBI is corrupt!!!" argument.

The FBI was doing what it was told to do. Who sends FBI agents to a well known persons home to arrest them on a MISDEMEANOR charge? Political theater just in time for tonight's big telecast.

I agree that the timing is suspect.

That said, Kelley definitely has a few screws loose.

So when would an arrest be less suspect? Before an election? After an election? In the middle of a debate? Maybe while he's being sworn in? Why arrest him at all, let the felon just avoid justice altogether since apparently we wouldn't want an arrest to be too inconvenient for anyone. Appearances ya' know...

He was not charged with any felonies, just misdemeanors.

Felony? The lefties never let facts get in the way of a good narrative..

Well shut my mouth and call me "biscuit", I guess that makes it OK then...

Where did Matt say that what he did was "ok"? Or are you just talking out of your ass to cover up the fact that you were talking out of your ass?

Say what you want about this.
But whether it was a felony or a misdemeanor, or no charge at all, Kelley was at the Capitol on January 6th.
Seems to me Kelley should of realized just being there is enough of an elephant in the room that he should of never had his hat in the ring in the first place.

Can anyone honestly disagree?
I look forward to any of you making a credible argument that he would still be a good choice as the gubernatorial candidate for the Grand Ol' Party in November. I think it's over for him, even if he gets exonerated of all charges.

No one is defending Kelley on here. The fact that his house was raided and he was publicly arrested for misdemeanor charges is very questionable.

So who's left? Tudor Dixon and Garrett Soldano. Which one would be the best choice to beat Whitmer?
Personally, I think Dixon will beat Soldano in the primary. As of right now anyway.

I'm just curious, since I can't find any; is there any precedent for the FBI raiding someone's home over a misdemeanor charge? Any precedent whatsoever? If there is, I'd love to read about it.

You're forgetting about Kevin Rinke.

Like I said in a previous post, I don't think any old white man can beat Whitmer. No matter how good of a case they make.
With Craig out of the picture, it's going to take somebody young and easy on the eyes with a heaping helping of camera charisma for the Grand Ol' Party to even have a chance.
