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

Posted on 10/08/2020 9:05:42 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

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.

By my count six names are listed.

Another piece of political theater and utter garbage from Christopher Wray.
So when is Wray going to arrest the tens of thousand of ANTIFA BLM terrorists who have laid waste to cities across the country, assaulted, threatened and murdered innocent trump supporters across the country and repeatedly threatened to take out President Trump?

Anyone who was that worked-up about taking out a tyrant would just stage a sniper attack. They wouldn’t bother to kidnap somebody with all of the attendant headaches that entails.

Well now we know who those dangerous White Supremacists were in DHS’ report.

Still does not equal the amount of threats received by law enforcement and other government workers/officials from Antifa and BLM.

The Anons will find their political donations and media “appearances” in the next couple of days.

Total BS. F-Troop probably had guys IN the militia and talked things up and spun the talk of beer around a campfire into a plot.
This is to “prove” their white supremacist terror threat theory.

Jury nullification is needed here. Act meek and pliable and say whatever it takes to get on a jury. Then be a solid not guilty vote no matter what F-Troop says is the “evidence”. Don’t forget to “deliberate”. If you fold your arms they can kick you off a jury. Just keep debating and never change your mind.

Jury nullification is our anti FBI and anti-Soros DA weapon.

Some guy shows up out of the blue, talking violence, etc, he's probably a Fibbie provocateur. Call the cops on him. Funny to have FBI guys arrested for making violent threats, offering to sell you rocket launchers, plotting kidnappings, etc.

If you live in a small town and know the sheriff, have him hold the guy for a couple of days while he stalls. In the stinky, pukey drunk tank.

Sounds like the another Reichstag fire, to me.

It is. And a blatant attempt to interfere in the November elections. on behalf of the Democrats in a crucial swing state. One of the FBI’s notorious election interference hoaxes.

The plan was to kidnap her, and if their demands were not met, they would threaten to give her back.

Look at some of the tough-talking "patriots" here. How much do you think it would take for them to start bragging how they are ready to start a boogaloo, killing people and doing other violent actions? I swear, some days this place looks like a psych ward.

She already lost the court battle for exceeding her authority.

Kind of stupid to take action now, that the system is correcting itself.

But if the actions were prior to the court ruling, the court ruling might assist their defense. The court ruling does validate that the governor was exceeding her athority.

If it’s true these Marxists need to be put in their place. Have you read the Declaration of Independence? You either will agree with it or you won’t. Just because these people lock down a society and setting up deaths to happen while smiling and wearing a suit doesn’t mean they’re innocent.
