‘Stoned Crazy Talk, Not a Plan’ Say Whitmer Defendants
American Greatness ^ | 10 Mar, 2022 | Julie Kelly

Finding out which high-ranking politicians and government officials were in on the Whitmer “kidnapping” caper just became a major part of a growing scandal.

For months, defense attorneys representing the men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 have built a convincing case of FBI entrapment, filing dozens of motions in federal court detailing how the government concocted the plot with at least a dozen FBI undercover agents and informants.

But District Court Judge Robert Jonker wanted to delay presenting that trove of evidence at trial for as long as possible. Days before jurors took their seats in his Grand Rapids courtroom on Wednesday morning, Jonker issued an order that warned “initial opening statements and evidence during the government’s case-in-chief—on both direct and cross—must address and be relevant to issues other than entrapment.”

Jonker’s plan, however, didn’t make it past the first morning break.

After it became clear during opening statements that the defense could not argue their case without explaining the deep involvement of the FBI’s confidential human sources, Jonker reversed his ruling, telling the jury that “it won’t be possible to draw a line between the government proving their case and entrapment.”

And the defense was ready.

During the first two days of this high-stakes trial, FBI agents told jurors shocking details about how the department initiated the expansive probe, which stretched across several states and involved multiple FBI field offices.

One FBI official told his supervisor he planned to conduct a “terrorism enterprise investigation” into the loose band of misfits with no solid plans, much less the ability, to do anything nefarious at the time. (The alleged ringleader, Adam Fox, lived in the ramshackle basement of a vacuum repair shop with his two dogs

This is but one of the reasons this administration is wagging the dog in Ukraine. They’re trying to take everyone’s attention off of things like this.

From the article: “Who in Trump’s Justice Department was aware of this operation? “

Trump’s fault.

Part of collapsing the economy involves undermining faith in the current system of government.

That will make The Great Reset easier because many people will believe the system no longer works and must be replaced.

We know that they want a socialist hellhole for the West. But they will sell it that the people will get to choose and will write a new constitution for the world online. Everybody has a say in it.

Of course, in the end, they will claim the people chose socialism.

It was Trump’s Justice Department, but it was the Deep State working against Trump. My guess is that the Deep State is loyal to 0bama.

The only good greenie is a dead greenie

Until that thought is understood and implemented the American Republic will continue to be at existential risk

There can be no coexistence.

I have repeatedly suggested that if we are forced into true rebellion that THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS must have “accidents” or simply disappear. Still waiting for the door to be broken down at 4 am.
