Framing Governor Whitmer’s Kidnappers?

The attorneys of four men charged with attempting to kidnap Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer claim that the FBI informants entrapped the men. They supplied their clients with drugs and then planned the kidnapping for them.

The attorneys say informants rented hotel rooms, supplied food, liquor, and food to the four men. Attorneys say they did it to convince the men to take part in the plot.

Entrapment is illegal and the FBI might have gone over the line.

The defendants did make damaging remarks about Whitmer during the meetings but denied they were agreeing to kidnap Governor Whitmer.

According to their defense lawyers, the FBI arranged everything, from planning to recon to supplying weapons.

The prosecutor, Assistant US Attorney Jonathan Roth acknowledged the roles of the informants but said that giving these men the opportunity to commit a crime does not constitute entrapment.

The informants rented the hotel room and fueled the men with free alcohol, drugs, and food. At least one of the would-be kidnappers was homeless.

Adam Fox, an accused ringleader of a plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, posted online about being ready for a second Civil War. It was months before first meeting federal informants, an FBI agent testified Thursday. He wanted to squelch the idea that they were not predisposed to commit the crime.

Social media posts are now used to convict people.

THE SECRET RECORDINGS DURING A DRUG-FUELED RAGE

Secret recordings appear very damning:

Jurors heard dramatic, secret recordings of another accused ringleader, Delaware trucker Barry Croft, 46. He talked about attacking Whitmer and killing her bodyguards. This was to take place during a coordinated attack at her Northern Michigan cottage. It would involve destroying the communications tower and firing artillery.

“There’s a tornado spinning through the community and — wham! — a quick precise grab of that f—— governor,” Croft said in a June 2020 conversation recorded by an FBI informant.

“Here’s the thing about a precise group of seven men prepared for the job, with snipers shooting at heat signatures, dropping f—— armed guards before we approach the house,”Croft added. “All that’s left breathing is her.”

Croft’s attorney Joshua Blanchard said that one FBI informant routinely plied men with marijuana before switching on his recording device. It was a “selectively recording” of the men after getting them “worked up.”

THE MISFITS

Attorney Christopher Gibbons described his client, Adam Fox, as a “misfit” whose behavior is “understandable why it would raise suspicions.” But, Gibbons insisted, Fox did not agree to any conspiracy and, instead, he was used by an FBI informant who was receiving “envelopes of cash” to keep the investigation into the defendants going.

Fox was duped by federal “parlor tricks,” Gibbons said.

The crime was never carried out.

REMEMBER THE FIRST PROTEST

It is an interesting defense because the Governor and her Democrat machine wanted to destroy the militias and protesters who went to the Michigan Capitol building armed. The protest was peaceful but the protesters barged into the building.

Michigan allows open carry.

The protesters were upset about her Draconian lockdown orders.

Officials hunted for militia members to put on trial and then they found them.

At least one of the accused would-be kidnappers has Antifa leanings. But he loves all people and hates Trump. At the time, the media claimed they were Trump supporters.

Then there is this ringleader with a strange ideology:

It makes one wonder.

Does anyone even know why the FBI got involved in the first place? They got involved because informants of the Michigan Miltia came to them and said there was talk of militia members entering Michigan State Police departments and opening fire. That is where this all began that is within reason to believe based on the post on social media… Read more »

FBI makes the Stasi look like the Boy Scouts of America (or whatever they’re called in our new, Woke world). They’ve gone from enforcers of law to persecutors of patriots. If you love the Constitution, watch out for them…they hate you most of all.

The FBI is now in the Business of Thought Crimes. But Worse, they plant and nurture the Thought Crime into a “conspiracy” to commit crime. I’ve never bought into the idea of conspiracy unless the crime was actually committed. Talk is just Talk until there is action! Buying supplies and planning don’t count. Execution of the plan becomes the crime.… Read more »

Entrapment is SOP for the FBI and DEA and the courts allow them to get away with it. More evidence there is no rule of law left in the USA.
