I call total BS.

Yep.
Based on the facts on their face, there are only two more probable reasons for this;
1) False flag, or set up, for effect, to vilify right wing groups in order to dissuade activism, as well as to justify future law enforcement investigations
2) These guys are legit but idiots and easily caught, which is interesting because it proves that the left-wing domestic terrorists who burn down cities in this country are so much more well organized that our keystone cop agencies can’t seem to catch their command and control aka masterminds.
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.
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.
