Federal prosecutors say a key FBI informant in the alleged plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan was a “double agent” who was “working against the interests of the government” by trying to destroy evidence and prevent arrests.
The confidential informant, Stephen Robeson, played a central role in the investigation that led to the arrest of 14 men for allegedly participating in a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in October 2020. At the direction of his FBI handlers, Robeson reached out to potential targets, organized meetings, and paid travel expenses for people to attend such events.
Now the government appears to be disowning its own operative, saying he deceived the FBI and at times actively aided targets of the investigation.
Defendants have claimed that it was overzealous government informants, including Robeson, who hatched the alleged plot to kidnap a sitting governor. The defendants have denounced the case as entrapment and an example of “egregious overreaching,” claiming they never would have contemplated the purported crimes without the informants’ involvement.
In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors said that Robeson violated the terms of his agreement with the FBI, including by possessing firearms despite having felony convictions, offering the use of “charity funds to purchase weapons for attacks,” and offering a drone to “aid in acts of domestic terrorism.”

RRRRrrriiiggghhhttt.
Creating your own bad guys to stalk and arrest is just as bad as setting the fire and arriving just in time to save the day.
The FBI/Stasi are admitting the plot was an entrapment scheme that never would have happened without their engineering it.
“...he deceived the FBI...>”
How can THAT be?
The FIB are all MENSA candidates...
Especially the Fey Wray.
Is this the Babylon Bee or did this really happen?
“The Government Says...”
Well, there you go, it must be true.
It's the FBI/Stasi, so its anybody's guess.
Where was he circa 1/6/2021?
So here is the marked patsy.
What was that Kennedy supposedly said about breaking up the CIA? The FIB is probably worse (to the extent they aren’t literally the same thing).
Ohhhh puuuleeease.
Hollywood meets 007 in Quantico.
Who dumped the lsd in their water cooler.
“Looks smart enough to be a triple agent.”
Lol!
So interesting. The FBI agents statements to their informants are “not government” statements/directions and should not be allowed in court. The main informant is a “liar” and should not be allowed to testify.
The case is falling apart and the government wants to deny the defense testimony from the federal agents and informants that set this whole plot into action.
The case needs to be thrown out and the government attorneys sanctioned by the court. Also the court needs to make a public statement that the FBI agents should be fired and then prosecuted.
Robeson’s sentence in the gun case needs to be re-opened and a proper sentence imposed.
So they really think the u.s. citizenry will beleive the FBI was a victim of entrapment ?
Really ?
Projection agenda.
This the way that it always happens.
Just think how dangerous the FBI would be if Maxwell Smart wasn’t running it.
The FBI/Stasi are admitting the plot was an entrapment scheme that never would have happened without their engineering it.

That’s their MO
