GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — The co-leader of a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was sentenced Tuesday to 16 years in prison for conspiring to abduct the Democrat and blow up a bridge to ease an escape.
Adam Fox returned to federal court four months after he and Barry Croft Jr. were convicted of conspiracy charges at a second trial in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
They were accused of being at the helm of a wild plot to whip up anti-government extremists just before the 2020 presidential election. Their arrest, as well as the capture of 12 others, was a stunning coda to a tumultuous year of racial strife and political turmoil in the U.S.
The government had pushed for a life sentence, saying Croft offered bomb-making skills and ideology while Fox was the “driving force urging their recruits to take up arms, kidnap the governor and kill those who stood in their way.”
But Judge Robert J. Jonker said that while Fox’s sentence was needed as a punishment and deterrent to future similar acts, the government’s request for life in prison is “not necessary to achieve those purposes.”
“It’s too much. Something less than life gets the job done in this case,” Jonker said, later adding that 16 years in prison “is still in my mind a very long time.”

The FBI gets away with putting another guy in prison for their crimes.
Entrapped, then given 16 years in the slammer, just to score political points. This is pure evil at work.
What about entrapment charges against FBI agents?
What in the world does this story have to do with racism?
Yes.
“Even though the FBI invented the entire plot and duped this idiot into going along with it, we’re putting him away!”
“…were convicted of conspiracy charges at a second trial…”
A second trial.
They are TOTALLY EVIL and CORRUPT!!
The FBI gets away with putting another guy in prison for their crimes.

True.
I believe that we’ve had people attempt to assassinate presidents get off for less than this FBI led plot.
Were the FBI living rent-free in this man’s foolish brain, or were they at least paying some reasonable amount. For the privilege of brainwashing him.
They entrapped a borderline retarded man to manufacture a political meme. Stalin would be proud.
“What in the world does this story have to do with racism?”
Welcome to earth. Everything is racism or climate change.
Those who plotted and actually carried out the destruction of our cities are still walking free, and hatching new plots to destroy the country. Not only are they free, but they are also likely being paid quite handsomely for their efforts on behalf of George Soros and his crowd.
It’s a safe bet that FBI operatives are involved in all of it.
One of many
It’s a safe bet that if two people are plotting, at least one is an FBI agent!
What about entrapment charges against FBI agents?
I find the best way to avoid entrapment is to trust no one. If someone comes up to you and suggests doing something illegal, assume that person is LE of some kind, say no, and walk away.
