The FBI is attempting to do damage control after it was revealed the law enforcement bureau initiated and carried out a significant portion of the kidnapping plot against Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer last year.
"Partnerships are key to disrupting violent plots. With the terror threat growing more insular, awareness and reporting are crucial," the FBI posted on a their website this week. "This is especially true for domestic terrorism—defined as violent, criminal acts committed by individuals or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature. Because the FBI’s mission includes protecting the free speech rights of Americans, we need a clear reason to act or investigate. A person’s beliefs can never be the sole reason to open an investigation."
Protecting the United States from terrorist attacks is the #FBI’s top priority. We work closely with our partners to disrupt violent plots and keep our communities safe from harm. #NatSec https://t.co/wZvCL1JoLq— FBI (@FBI) July 22, 2021
FBI Director Christopher Wray is also weighing in and attempting to reassure Americans the FBI respects their rights.
“The FBI holds sacred the rights of individuals to peacefully exercise their First Amendment freedoms," he said.
The FBI's heavy involvement in the plot raises serious questions about how the agency conducts operations, for what purpose and to what extent agents were involved in the January 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Are you the same FBI that rented an apartment for two of the 9/11 hijackers, and the same FBI that claimed the attempted assassination of Republicans was “suicide by cop,” and the same FBI that claimed Ft. Hood was “workplace violence,” or was that a different FBI? Clowns. https://t.co/7PJjCa2nby— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 22, 2021

Raise your hand if you are shocked.
If FBI “initiated and carried out a significant portion of the kidnapping plot” then FBI should be under arrest, no?
For those unfamiliar with the case....
See here:
BOTTOM LINE — THIS IS ENTRAPMENT
There were a handful of people charged with plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Of 14 people indicted, five (or more) were working as informants for the FBI.
The five people who seem to be the FBI informants were also the people who seemed to have all the kidnapping ideas and access to all the equipment needed for a paramilitary assault on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s vacation home. At one point, the leadership of the conspiracy met, and three of the five people in that discussion were FBI.
.....
The people the FBI sends in to look at the chats or communicate with the suspects aren’t just a fly on the wall. They offer to help. They offer bombs. They offer direction. They suggest targets.
They tell the suspects they need money for the cause. They ask them when they can fly to Syria or Iraq or wherever.
So what’s interesting about the revelations from this week is not that the FBI is up to some new, clever gambit to combat the wily insurrectionists in our midst. What is interesting is they are right back to pulling the same tricks they used on wannabe al-Qaeda and ISIS dopes for the last 15 years.
The problem is not that we’re going to find out that the January 6 case is going to be full of FBI agents and informants, just like the Whitmer kidnapping case. The problem is we are starting to understand this is standard procedure for counterterrorism. This is a 20-year-old charade the FBI brass has been pulling.
....
Now, 20 years later, with Osama bin Laden dead and the United States leaving Afghanistan, do we think those Joint Terrorism Task Forces, or the Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force, are going to go away? No. They need work to justify those budgets, and America needs a new enemy.
The difference is that the government has begun to use the tools that were developed to fight a credible foreign threat now to fight against the political opponents of Democrats.

"You go, girl!"
Once this morning’s War Room episodes are posted, watch the first hour. Darren Beattie has so much information on this. He once again implies that the head of Oathkeepers was working with the FBI to entrap Trump supporters. (At least that’s how I interpret it.)
And they expect a pat on the back for being so “diligent.”
“With the terror threat growing more insular...”
How “insular” could it be when there’s a large group of guys and half of them are FBI agents or informants?
Was she in on this?
RE: Was she in on this?
If this were an Oliver Stone movie, perhaps. But I’d like to know the motive...
FBI = STASI = KGB = TYRANNY
IN the words of Beria (Stalins head of the secrets police) “Show me the man and I will show you the crime.”
The FBI has become a threat to a free society. It is an enemy of the people.
He was! One America News Network’s Jack Posobiec confirmed it. He also confirmed the FBI had 12 informants that had infiltrated the group and plotted to kidnap Whitmer. He has the texts between an informant and his FBI handler plotting to entrap them.
Ruby Ridge, Waco.
FBI assassination of people living their lives who committed no crime.
If we can’t find white supremacy we will cast it, carry it out and prosecute the one poor amuck who fell for the plot.
“Was she in on this?”
Are you kidding?? She’s probably the one that thought it up!
“Was she in on this?”
Oh my goodness, of course not!
Nor was she involved in the MI vote cheat!
Oh, wait...
