The FBI said Thursday it uncovered a plot carried out by an armed militia in Michigan to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
In total, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed 19 state felony charges against seven individuals known to be members of the militia group, Wolverine Watchmen or associates of Wolverine Watchmen. Separately, six individuals were also charged by U.S. Attorney Andrew Birge with federal felony charges as a result of the execution of search warrants Wednesday.
The suspects, now under arrest, are alleged to have called on the groups’ members to identify the home addresses of law enforcement officers in order to target them; made threats of violence to instigate a civil war leading to societal collapse; and engaged in the planning and training for an operation to attack the state Capitol building and kidnap government officials, including Gov. Whitmer.
“There has been a disturbing increase in anti-government rhetoric and the re-emergence of groups that embrace extremist ideologies,” Nessel said. “These groups often seek to recruit new members by seizing on a moment of civil unrest and using it to advance their agenda of self-reliance and armed resistance. This is more than just political disagreement or passionate advocacy, some of these groups’ mission is simply to create chaos and inflict harm upon others.”
Through the efforts of more than 200 state and federal law enforcement officials, officers executed a series of search warrants and arrest warrants in more than a dozen cities around the state, including, Belleville, Cadillac, Canton, Charlotte, Clarkston, Grand Rapids, Luther, Munith, Orion Township, Ovid, Portage, Shelby Township and Waterford, according to a press release.

Agreed
In the Oklahoma City bombing, there were informations
everywhere. They totally ignored one of them who went
public. Granted, I think she had a checkered past, but
what she admitted in public to telling them, sure didn’t
make the authorities look good.
She was one of two informants at Elohim City alone.
Ruby Ridge sprung from Weaver refusing to become an
informant, or essentially facilitate entrapments.
Pearl clutching folks should not worry so much. If you manage to crush your pearls, crushed pearls can still be used in cosmetics, medicines and paint formulations.
Trump is going to win this election in a landslide, then the real party begins. If I smile and laugh all day every day for 4 years, will my face show wrinkles? Perhaps crushed pearls will smooth out those wrinkles.
I agree. It’s a damn shame that it has come to that. Even if the FBI looks like they are doing their job, most intelligent people know they’re not.
Agree. I do think they have an agenda which involves demonizing the right while using the violent left.
Question should be: How much reward would be paid to get her out of office?
Found it. (thanks to 4Chan)
It is from a ‘Progressive Metal Band’ named Periphery:

That doesn’t have you scratching your head at all?
If it doesn’t, you’re just not thinking it out as well as you think you are.
I overwhelmingly AGREE with your POV.
The FBI has become the law enforcement arm of the SWAMP.
They may have gotten word that because of the virus she was going to ban winter ice fishing in upper Michigan! /s
Those 4Chan dudes & dudettes blow my hair back...
Yes, ftroop had better be involved in dropping the hammer on the Antifa conspiracy in the next three weeks, or they're done in my book.
Well said, the FBI has been corrupted, as have many of the other alphabet agencies. Deep, really deep sterilization needs to be performed under Trump’s next four years.
Just 13? Figured a number closer to the population of Michigan.
Indeed. Lots of perverts, assorted weirdos, pretend Nazis, but a lot of them do darn good investigative work and entertaining meme creation.
