Two-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Klete Keller was indicted on seven different charges on Thursday in connection with his alleged involvement in the riots at the U.S. Capitol last month, according to USA Today.

Keller, per the report, was charged in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia for knowingly and unlawfully entering and remaining in a restricted area, interfering with official government business, engaging in disorderly conduct to disrupt a session of Congress and interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, among other things.

Keller was recognized by an FBI agent, who said he identified him due both to his height — Keller is 6-foot-6 — and the Team USA jacket that he wore that day. He also reportedly had numerous social media posts supporting former President Donald Trump, though his accounts have been disabled.

Donald Trump is not worth throwing away your life for.

1. How horrifying to see someone like that throw his accomplishments and lifetime of work away

He proudly (I assume) represented the US in those Olympics. Now, he is being tried for sedition against that same country. Damn!

I wonder what position he'll end up occupying in the new regime.

3. one of these days he is going to realize what a colossal mistake he has made and will deeply regret

his stupidity and arrogance to think he can do whatever he wants without repercussions.
