The Corrupt FBI Attempts to Do Damage Control After Initiating The Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Plot
Townhall ^ | 07/23/2021 | Katie Pavlich

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.

Whitmer needed better optics, as she was roundly despised in MI for her Gestapo lockdown dictates (while hubby tried to cheat the line to get their speedboat in the lake, and she jetted to relatives if FL).

The FBI (D) willingly assisted.

I’ll think twice now about giving any information to the FBI.

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.


There were something like 18 in total and 12 were FBI. Most of the ring leaders and active plotters were FBI and the rest were hapless dupes along for the ride being set up

Looks like this was an FBI plot to kidnap the Gov of Michigan. Nowadays , FBI stands for FalseFlag Being Instigated

RE: Looks like this was an FBI plot to kidnap the Gov of Michigan.

Assuming this is true, a few questions arise:

1) What is their end game in doing this?

2) Why Gretchen Whitmer and not any other politician?

The FBI plot was another way of dirtying up conservatives in order to “get Trump.” That part is being overlooked.

Who knows? This could have been a dry-run in case they needed to kidnap and hide Trump.
Yeah? Call me crazy. And I hope like anything that the Fibbies don’t start watching me (more closely).

It’s so hard sometimes to understand why people like this get elected.

So FBI planners outnumbered the doofs two to one on this kidnap plot.

And there will be no penalty as the story slips into the mist.

The FIB, and the whole Federal government, is the enemy of the American people.

Absolutely disgusting! My sis and I are on a mission to contact the pols (Trump, Noem, DeSantis, etc.) who have high hopes of being in the White House at some point in time. Help these innocent people or risk the support of the patriots. That includes Trump. Get the f—k off the golf course and DO SOMETHING! They’re there because they helped you.

For these people to allow patriots — political prisoners — to twist in the wind like this is shameful.

Yesterday, Bannon asked the wife of one of the prisoners why she hadn’t contacted politicians for help. She said she had. They refused to help and told her they couldn’t because “it’s ‘political’”. They’re POLITICIANS, for Pete’s sake. By definition, they’re political.

I was hoping Bannon would ask her the names of the pols who had turned her down, but he didn’t follow up.

It would be interesting if a state prosecutor initiated a state action against Federal Agents for instigation of terrorist activities under state laws(states do have such laws). I’m sure the fed courts would try to intervene but the FBI still wouldn’t want the public heat. Just a threat that local sheriffs or states would arrest FBI agents trying to initiate a “sting” to get people to violate the law might give the Fed’s pause. What if a FED action got out of control and the “criminals” the FBI was egging on actually succeeded in killing a lot of people?...the FBI would have to be seen as being at least partially at fault.

I wonder of the Tsarnev bomber brothers was one example of something that went amiss federally...given the stories of high level contacts with certain “muslim foreign officials” that were spirited out of the country and stories that Michelle and other Obama admin types were privately speaking with people at least tangentially connected with the Tsarnevs. I always thought the Fed’s role in that affair really stank.(that and the news that the Russians tried to warn FBI types about the bombers but were ignored...or worse seen as an opportunity to “gig” the American public into accepting more tyranny.

If the locales could be identified where the FBI instigators did their instigating, the agents involved could be tried on state charges...on the grounds that if the people being instigated got out of the Feds’ control and had succeeded in doing the kidnapping and murdering then it would be more on the Feds’, not just on the “kidnappers”.

A lot of people get bad ideas but think about it later and they never follow thru but some might have tried to follow thru(who otherwise wouldn’t) if they had been properly “conditioned” and supplied false intel and support by a fake “fellow” traveler and secret FBI officer ready to pounce.

The FBI probably sees it as a kind of “culling” to try and keep other would be radicals in line by keeping them guessing as to who is friend or foe, but really smart people, if they really wanted to get something started would have already figured the FEDS modus operandi out. They really are arrogant and blind these Fed people are...there are really bad threats out there but not from Trump people. I fear the USA will be blindsided and multiple domestic targets hit really badly from a direction the FEDs never expected...all the while the FBI and other agencies are chasing after politically incorrect non woke phantoms and juicing up some of the more unwise hotheads and tempting them to do illegal acts. Yes the FEDs are tempting them through their weaknesses and causing them to fail.

Someone likened the fbi to those creepy arsonists that join the fire department in order to start fires and then watch the burn as a responder, and I think it’s a good comparison, except that unlike a fire department, the entire feeb population appears to have a weird fetish for matches.
