Several months before his guilty plea, Kelley posted on social media that the Capitol riot was an FBI “set up."
Kelley spoke at a “Stop the Steal” rally at the state Capitol in Lansing in November 2020, shortly after the presidential election.
Kelley remained on Capitol grounds for nearly two hours but isn't accused of entering the building that day.
Also on Tuesday, a woman who smashed a window at the Capitol and used a bullhorn to direct other rioters on Jan. 6 was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison.
A prosecutor has said Powell, 41, of Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, played a “leading role” during the riot.
