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.

Here is some more info:
From the NBC article:
“Based on court documents, the FBI was well aware of the activities of the men charged Thursday and there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to Gov. Whitmer, a Democrat.”
Betting that this is another “let’s make it look like the right wingnuts did it” caper...
The FBI would never lie - just to boost their image. Would they?
I agree.
The FBI is likely again attempting to swing the election, (as they did in 2016), with the goals of covering up their highly illegal election interference in behalf of godless socialist, and to swing our government toward pro socialist/globalist governance.
And bring more beer!
Probably another Ruby Ridge....
Here's a picture of them guarding the government goings on back in the Spring when Michiganders protested the shut down
Why would anyone want to kidnap Whitmer?
You’d be stuck listening to her!
FBI lie and hurt our country.
They sew discord.

This is like the “umbrella guy” in Minneapolis. Remember they said he had been identified and was a white supremacist? So they knew who he is and have him on film committing crimes, but never arrested him? Yeah, right.
Wray should be the first person Trump fires once his reelection is secure.
I am looking for the charging document, but this report seems to be based on it. It is a bit more than mouthing off..
The Proud Boys will be next. Going to kidnap Mayor Wheeler don’t cha know.
Cheesing?
She could entertain with her theme song One Way or Another
Six guys, five of whom drinking too much beer and the FBI informant bitching the most and egging them on with a wire until the five pass out or stumble home.
Right Wing Men???
Call me skeptical.
I’m sure they were saying over a couple of beers.
The “F”ake BI ... wish they could check into investigating real dangers to the Republic like coup attempts and govt corruption.
Oh i forgot, they were part of it.
