State prosecution against Whitmer kidnapping defendants advancing through Michigan courts

More than two years after the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was foiled, criminal cases against alleged perpetrators are still working their way through the court system.

The Antrim County County Circuit Court has approved two motions from the state in the trial of five alleged co-conspirators charged with providing material support in the plot to kidnap Whitmer. Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer approved the motions on Wednesday, which asked that the cases be joined for trial and that the court allow the admission of co-conspirator statements.

The federal government foiled the plot in October 2020, calling it the most significant domestic terrorism case in the state in decades. Fourteen men were arrested for plotting to kidnap the governor from her vacation home in Elk Rapids and attack other government officials.

The defendants all filed either objections or responses to the state’s motion to consolidate.

“These statements will provide the jury with more detail as to what happened during the commission of the crimes charged,” Nessel said. “I am grateful Judge Elsenheimer has permitted the co-conspirator's statements to be heard at trial."

Defendants Brian Higgins, Shawn Fix, Eric Molitor, William Null and Michael Null are all charged with one count of providing material support for a terrorist act. Fix, Molitor, William Null and Michael Null are also charged with possessing a firearm when committing or attempting to commit a felony.

The entrapment railroading by the deranged lesbo freak Nessel and her Bolshevik buddies in DC continues.

Neither she nor Whitmer nor Benson should be in any part of the government.

But they dont care what voters say, they just fabricate the power for themselves.

Someone will have to describe the whole story from the beginning and do it in 5 minutes or less. It will have to be done in YouTube fashion. I just don’t give a damn about her or who the bad guys are. Am I alone on this?

I can describe it in one word. Entrapment. Action by law enforcement personnel to lead an otherwise innocent person to commit a crime, in order to arrest and prosecute that person for the crime.

The Century Dictionary.

You’re not helping much, neither of you.
Lesbo freak Nessel? Benson? Never heard of them.

Who is the ‘innocent’ person?
I’m offering you 5 minutes and you still come up short.

4 responses so far. I’m not the only one who doesn’t care so do me a favor: Do something to entertain me.
