Shared hotel rooms. Fake militias. Booze and pot. Planted evidence. Phony bomb makers. Criminal FBI informants. Wife-beating wife-swappers.
No, that’s not the latest iteration of the “X Files” but the real-life drama of the FBI-concocted scheme to “kidnap” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. The better-than-television saga is again unfolding in a Grand Rapids courtroom this month as the Department of Justice retries two men charged with conspiring to kidnap Whitmer right before the 2020 presidential election.
In April, prosecutors failed to win a single conviction in one of the government’s biggest domestic terror investigations in decades. A jury acquitted two men—Brandon Caserta and Daniel Harris—on every count after defense attorneys successfully argued their clients were entrapped by the FBI.
The jury did not reach a verdict for two other men; Adam Fox, the alleged ringleader of the plot, and Barry Croft now face a second trial as prosecutors desperately attempt to save face just as the DOJ’s credibility is cratering. (Two other defendants pleaded guilty and are witnesses for the government.)
Shocking headlines in October 2020 blared the alleged details of the conspiracy: white supremacists tied to local militias loyal to Donald Trump planned to abduct Whitmer from her summer cottage and possibly kill her, the public was told. The day after several men were arrested in an FBI sting, Whitmer claimed her life had been endangered and Trump was to blame. ”When our leaders meet with, encourage, or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimize their actions and they are complicit,” Whitmer said in a video message on October 8, 2020. “When they stoke and contribute to hate speech, they are complicit.”
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris frequently mentioned the kidnapping plot on the stump in the final weeks of the 2020 campaign as evidence as to why the president was unfit for office; news outlets gave the plot wall-to-wall coverage. more here
If the fib was smart they drop the case and claim Russian misinformation.
@J. Conners — If the feebs were smart, the men on trial would commit suicide.
…and leave suicide notes in Russian.
Silly boy Twix are for kids.
Pretty amazing they wanted to try these two clowns again. The FBI and DoJ has some real morons working for them out in the hinterlands.
Reichstag fire. The Nazis just can’t leave it alone.
Provocation is just about all they have.
They’ve stolen a national election, myriad local elections, and their Usurping stooges are proving incompetent – grotesquely incompetent – retarded-sounding.
The lies and deceits are so transparent that they’re almost laughable – if they weren’t so earnest and deadly.

White supremacy my ass. The FBI is the greatest threat to America.
It doesn’t and didn’t “expose” a Goddamn thing. All it does is validate what anyone who has been paying attention already figured out long ago.
