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.

So the FBI has no idea how to find and prosecute Antifa and BLM types who actively want to destroy cities, kill police, kill citizens and replace our system with a new Marxist one? Who call each other on cell phones and arrive with Molotov cocktails and bricks? No ideas at all? Minds are blank?/S
I suspect the FBI had and undercover egging them on. This is a false flag designed to drum up sympathy for the tyrant governor Bitchmer.
You beat me by a minute and a half!
Great minds and all that.
Nah, i would bet that people from Michigan could care less about allegations from F-Troop.
Wheres the FBI on the plot to overthrow the President? Oh right, they hatched the plot.
Standard FBI False Flag op
Following on several days of declassified docs exposing Wray as a traitor and seditionist.
yes or they gathered weekly to read the Declaration of Independence
All I’m saying is that they desperately needed something to
pin in the Right, to take Clinton, Obama, Brennan, and
others off the front page.
This is just too perfect for that purpose.
Wheres the fbi on antiFA? BLM?
“militia plot to abduct Michigan Gov. Whitmer
This doesn’t seem credible. Why would they go out of their way to torture themselves?
She was just on TV blaming Trump for this.
That link shines billion candlepower sunlight on what really happened. Now its clear: Antifa wackos planned this. Yet, shes out there today trying to blame Trump.
These folks have more in common with ANTIFA.
Wowee, you're wrong.
Buh-bye Michigan for Trump. Theyll be able to pin this to him, even though hell disown this group. I hope Im wrong, but I can definitely see this as a huge problem for the campaign. One more thing for the media to crow about.
This is crazy talk!
Occam’s Razor
A bunch of STOOOOOOPID people, perhaps justifiably torked-off by her unconstitutional overreach, react to the situation in the worst possible way.
Probably egged-on by some agents provocateur who were eager to earn a medal.
It would be like listening to Baby Shark...
Whole thing is already unraveling the leader of this group is on twitter rants WITH Antifa flags in the background ranting about the police NICE TRY LIBS!!
Who, whom had ever read The Ransom of Red Chief in the 9th grade, would want to forcibly kidnap Cruella Deville’s little sister and hold her captive against her will?
Like you said, either some seriously insane people, or one hell of a false flag operation.
Tomorrow this will be forgotten. This will have no effect on MI elections.
