For months, the lawyer representing Kaleb Franks—one of six men charged with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020—has produced some of the most detailed and damning reports to make a case for FBI entrapment. Defense attorneys last year discovered that at least a dozen FBI agents and informants were intimately involved in the abduction plot, brought to a dramatic conclusion in October 2020 when the men were arrested after an FBI informant drove them to meet an undercover FBI agent to buy materials for explosives.
With the trial date just weeks away, the Justice Department’s case is imploding amid numerous scandals.
The timing could not be worse for the government, especially the FBI, which is now under scrutiny for its suspected role in fomenting the Capitol breach on January 6, 2021. After all, the two events share many similarities, including plans to “storm” Michigan’s state Capitol building, the use of militia groups reportedly loyal to Donald Trump, and official designations that both represent “domestic terror” attacks.
So a public trial that showcases FBI malfeasance at the same time the bureau is shunning questions about January 6 won’t be a reassuring look.
For example, FBI officials won’t disclose the number of “assets” connected to the Capitol protest or whether any FBI agents or informants engaged in violent behavior that day. Provocateurs, including Ray Epps, seen on video several times urging people to enter the building, remain uncharged. Yet the FBI refuses to explain why.

In a motion filed last month, Kaleb Franks’ attorney Scott Graham cited the FBI’s nonanswers regarding January 6 as evidence of the agency’s shame.

Hoping and praying that thsee “insurrection” charges against Trump result in giving the Demonrat party a “victory” akin to that received by the Russian sub crew in Red October!
FAILURE is Kamala’s personal motto.
LoL......

Thanks for the ping.
Pro tip: They are not ashamed.
Once they would have said "we cannot reveal this due to national security needs to protect citizens." Now it's "We gotta cover our rear ends at the Bureau."
Liz, thanks for posting this good stuff today.
Attorney Scott Graham’s client will plead guilty...just like the other 2 have plead guilty. Don’t swallow the Kracken.

Mike Flynn also pleaded guilty during his trial. Different circumstances, of course, but the point is that the FBI can apply considerable pressure to break a person.
I’d be happy if they abided by the LAW, which obviously since inception they DONT!

Another reason to insist upon TERM LIMITS. Many career politicians will do ANYTHING to get and retain POWER. That type would not bother to run for office if they could not enrich themselves while staying forever.
