This came from the top. It was a leftist campaign contribution to get the HORRIBLE Whitmer reelected. It is eerily similar to the January 6 hoax.
Not in 2020. She was elected to her first 4-year term in 2019. She' up for re-election this year in 2022.
No, it wasn't to get Whitless reelected, it was to smear Trump supporters by making them look like extremist terrorists. The "plot" was announced by the FBI on October 8, 2020, just before the November elections.
Whitless is up for reelection this November.
This isn’t over. The jury trial showed the FBI to be the prime conspirator in the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer. There were far more government agents and informants operating this scam than there were defendants. The charge judge maintained that it was not entrapment. But charge judges don’t get the final word on entrapment. Juries do.
The FIB’s actions have placed so much egg on their faces that they feel they must prosecute the two remaining defendants. The two defendants who copped light sentences in return for their testimony have to be looking at the two acquitted defendants with envy.
The plot to kidnap Whitmer would not have existed without the FBI. The FBI is public enemy number one. Who is going to prosecute the prosecutors?
