FBI Kidnapping Caper Was Flagrant Election Interference

The only people pushing to do something big before Election Day resided in the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington, D.C.

On October 8, 2020, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced shocking news: federal authorities had arrested several men for conspiring to kidnap and possibly kill her before Election Day. After indulging in a moment of self-pity, Whitmer quickly pinned the blame on President Trump, a man with whom Whitmer had engaged in a very public feud throughout 2020 over pandemic-related lockdowns.

Trump, Whitmer claimed, fueled the rage of alleged white supremacists and right-wing militias responsible for the dastardly abduction plot. “When our leaders meet with, encourage, or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimze their actions,” Whitmer said in a televised speech. “And they are complicit.”

Earlier that day, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, also a Democrat, and officials from the U.S. Department of Justice detailed the charges in a separate press conference. “Last night, the FBI and Michigan State Police arrested six individuals charged in a criminal complaint with conspiring to kidnap the governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer,” explained Andrew Birge, assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan. The defendants, Birge claimed, plotted to kidnap Whitmer from her vacation cottage “before the November election.”

His office took the lead in prosecuting the six defendants, who also faced weapons of mass destruction charges.

I recall a senator from Alaska (Stevens?) running for re-election indicted by the dems a week before election day. He lost of course. Charges were laughed out of court a few months later.

Whitmer didn’t kidnap herself.

Or maybe she did.

Michigan residents need to wake up. Let’s hope and pray she gets voted out of office.

After Hillary’s FBI files, email server and Foundation plus Russian collusion, I do not need to see evidence that Jan 6 was staged by the FBI.

They are guilty until proven otherwise

“Without suffering any consequences for propagating the Russiagate hoax, the FBI clearly felt emboldened in 2020 to accelerate its election interference chicanery. And if there are no consequences for this egregious operation, Americans can be sure the FBI will try it again soon—like this November.”

Did Whitler know it was all a scam? I’m thinking - yes.

Jack Posobiec posted that the person in charge of the Michigan FBI during this fiasco was transferred to the Washington DC office right before January 6th.

No worries. The networks will put up some more FBI hero-worship TV shows to keep what passes for “Americans” these days fat, dumb, and happy.
