FBI says it foiled plot to kidnap Michigan governor
The Hill ^ | 10 08 2020 | Zack Budryk

A militia group planned to violently depose Michigan’s government and abduct Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), the FBI said in a federal affidavit filed Thursday.

"Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit, obtained by the Detroit News. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."

Federal prosecutors plan to make a fuller statement on the alleged plot later Thursday, according to the newspaper.

At least five men have been charged in connection with the alleged plot, identified as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta, according to the affidavit.

Very interesting link. Thanks for posting.

So....they collected everyone’s cell phone to keep their meeting from being monitored.

But they missed the FBI guy wearing the wire?

They really are a bunch of idiots.

“False flag op to shore up support for Michigan which is leaning Trump...”

Sad that half of Americans do not doubt that our FIB would do that.

Excuse me, but I am not and perhaps never will be impressed with anything the FBI does.

Once my heroes, today they are useless extras in the Law and Order world.

Sounds like a hoax created by Robert Creamer, the convicted felon guy who is married to an Illinois congresswoman and who was always trying to create incidents at Trump rallies.

One can get ransom money by kidnapping Miss Piggy than that witch. That reminds me of the movie with Bette Midler and Danny DeVito playing a couple. Midler character was kidnapped but her ransom was being marked down. LOL

If the state’s prosecutor is Ellison it’s probably a case of hiring some organize to lead a few dupes or actors ...and well after the election the organizer will be let go by the AG , and actors too, though dupes may not be.
