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.

All those jihad groups online are traps, the same way these are traps. Most of the regular contributors are leos.
You’d have to be a nut to want to try and deal with all of the complications that surround trying to kidnap somebody.
Too many moving parts. Too many things that can go wrong. Even if you are someone like the Mossad who has a high degree of skill in doing so.
A bunch of backwoods wannabes against a high-profile target? When they weren’t even smart enough to pat the FBI guy down for a wire?
A non-starter.

Ugh. I’ve been that drunk exactly once in my life many, many years ago, and learned my lesson.
Agree with this idea.
[[Gretchen is kinda hot in a whip and leather kind of way.]]
If you don’t mind a bruce jenner look alike
how peculiar- she gets shut down by her state’s SC- and immediately this happens? Who wants to bet she uses this as another reason to shut down her state because of it?
Her husband said: “Truthfully, Me and the kids are fine without her. ..And the ransom is how much? I’m saving up for a new laptop. So, i don’t know Dude.”
Antifa and BLM go out and KILL, LOOT, and DESTROY OUR CITIES. Maybe the FBI thugs should look into REAL CRIME THAT IS HAPPENIGN RATHER THAN LIBERAL WET DREAMS ABOUT CATCHING CONSERVATIVES...
FBI fools need to open their damn eyes and SEE THE DESTRUCTION THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY - OVER TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGE IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS...
Instead they're wasting our money going after 'lone wolves' who can be tagged 'conservative'... Why? To prop up a lie put out by White elites and Black thugs in the FBI...
One more reason to disband the politically corrupt FBI... they can't see the crimes going on in front of them because they've chosen who they want to find.
The FBI stood with white elite Establishment types in the 60's and against civil rights workers. Today they stand with white Establishment 'elites' against Trump supporters.They are always on the wrong side because they can't stop kissing the butts of the powerful.
Disband the FBI...
And busting ANTIFA is as simple as doing a few web searches.
They’ve been online bragging about their plans for years.
Sounds like the another Reichstag fire, to me.
So clumsy and transparent.
MAGA ;)
Those “first” names were taken from their CIA employee IDs.
Any new names will be found on their FBI employee ID.

NO, I’d just say the election is NIGHTY close in MI for not only President, but for the senate seat too.
Five guys spewing non-sense is not necessarily a conspiracy.
Sheesh—Dem’s are nervous, and all the while their guy has a double digit lead!
Hmmmmmmmm? I think NOT!!!!!

You are welcome. It will take 48 to 72 hours for issues to come out, but by then it will be a distant memory...
I saw that too. Maybe the extra one was the FBI informant!
