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.

This comes out less than 48 hours after Hillary and Obama,
as well as others have been exposed to the public for what
they did.
Nah, there’s something very fishy about this.
I mean, the FBI wouldn’t trump up charge against anyone
would they? Hmmm, I sure can’t think of anyone can you?

Just sayin’. LOL!
“FBI uncovers armed militia plot to abduct Michigan Gov. Whitmer”
Abduct her and do what? Ask for ransom? Good luck with that.
Buh-bye Michigan for Trump. They’ll be able to pin this to him, even though he’ll disown this group. I hope I’m wrong, but I can definitely see this as a huge problem for the campaign. One more thing for the media to crow about.
Never mind all the hundreds of ANTIFA mobs rioting and looting and burning down businesses and blocking streets...
There was this ONE GROUP of ‘militia’...
Probably another secret decoder ring message from the supreme grand wizard.
Like the antifbi?
More like the FBI Created a Plot and convinced marginalized crazies to join in just to have the appearance of doing their job.
If it comes from the FBI, you can be rest assured it is full of LIES and False or Manufactured Evidence. See Oscar Goodman
$6 million or we send her back.
Don’t believe anything coming from the FBI.
This is a video of Brandon Caserta, one of the ringleaders of the group of men arrested for a plot where the group planned to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Caserta has an anarchist flag behind him and in YouTube videos trashes police. He’s not a Republican, he’s an anarchist. pic.twitter.com/J1vE2qGYL7— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 8, 2020
Yes, you’re wrong.
Nope. Not buying it. There are limits to my tolerance for batshyt crazy conspiracy theories. The story at FOX and other outlets makes it clear there are a lot of people involved, informants, wiretaps and tons of evidence. This is not a false flag or an FBI frame up. Gotta keep one foot in the real world. This is not fake news.

The plan was to put her on trial for treason and execute her.
I see now that she is on TV using this to blame Trump, of all things.
Even other militias will disavow these fools. Real Patriots don’t do crap like this.
Simple minded fools will pin this to Trump.
They wanted to “create chaos” by kidnapping an unpopular governor?
Why didn’t they riot and burn down cities?
That seems more chaotic.
