... At least a dozen FBI informants working with FBI handlers and undercover agents out of numerous FBI field offices engineered the hoax in 2020. Dan Chappel, a contract truck driver for the Postal Service, was hired as the key informant in March 2020; he primarily led the effort to stitch the random group of outliers together. The FBI compensated Chappel roughly $60,000 in cash and personal items, a sum Chappel admitted at trial had exceeded his annual salary.
Chappel particularly fixated on Fox, who lived alone at the time in the dilapidated cellar of a vacuum repair shop without running water, exchanging thousands of text messages and phone calls over a six month period. Chappel and other informants organized “militia” meetings, field training exercises, and reconnaissance trips to Whitmer’s remote summer cottage, the alleged scene of the crime. (Whitmer knew about the plan months before; the FBI installed pole cameras around her property to collect evidence.)
On several occasions, Chappel offered Fox a $5,000 credit card to use to purchase gear and weapons; a destitute Fox refused each offer. Chappel created two encrypted chat groups, monitored in real time by the FBI, to foment secret discussions about a possible kidnapping attempt.
The case, however, is rife with scandal. One of the chief FBI investigators on the case, Richard Trask, was fired by the FBI last year after he was arrested for assaulting his wife in a drunken rage following a swinger’s party. Local reporters also discovered several anti-Trump posts on Trask’s social media accounts.
Chappel’s handlers were also removed from the federal case amid accusations of perjury and moonlighting.

Presto! It is so. Now we know how native Americans feel about due process by a corrupt and dishonest system.
Lots of news about this, but I haven’t seen the specific actions of the defendants that supposedly warrant the charges. Who said, “Let’s kidnap the governor”? Who made a to-do list? Who made a shopping list? Who executed any of their action items? Was it all just a bunch of ranting while in a drunken stupor or while high?
Out intelligence agencies have flushed their credibility down the toilet.
Julie Kelly is a national treasure!
The FBI are groomers in several ways.
Jon Woods got 19 years, has served 4.4 years. His real sentence should have been 2-3 years max. The FBI agent on his case had his computer wiped professionally and then again did it on his own. Plead guilty and will be sentenced first week of January. His attorney wants a year of unsupervised probation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jon gets no new trial or whatever is needed to get him out of prison!!!!!
I fail to understand how one can live doing this to American citizens who are supported by taxpayers. Basically, all over the world and including good citizens, we are killing our own and those over the world- WE ARE PART OF IT SINCE WE SEE AND DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!
How can God bless America when it is so sinful??????
A politically motivated and biased judge.
I wonder how many FIB agents are assigned to monitor and spy on Freerepublic? I would bet there are more agents here than are on child exploitation cases.
It’s a shame they didn’t succeed
Hi.
“wonder how many FIB agents are assigned to monitor and spy on Freerepublic? “
Three. Each an 8 hrs shift. They work at home. They monitor other “right wing” platforms too.
Among other types of commo.
The FBI has morphed into the KGB.
