The cost of gas has nothing to do with this guy being on the Capitol steps with the J6 mob.
As I have said politicians have a tenuous hold on reality at best.

Did he plead not guilty by reason of insanity??

He probably believes that this period before this hearing will be one (his) bluster and (his) non-accountability.

Nope

There will be a lot of finger-pointing and trying to appeal to people besides the GOP Base

Kelley reportedly appeared by video Thursday

What a coincidence. Appearing on video is how he was identified by prosecutors.

Unfortunately for Mr. Kelley the revolution was both televised and unsuccessful. His ass is grass.

"Springstead reportedly said Kelley “asked that he be permitted to carry his firearm for his own self-defense, during the campaign.”

The judge rejected Kelley’s request, noting that the safety of other people, such as pre-trial officials who will pay visits to Kelley’s home, must be taken into account as well."

Good call.
