It Sure Looks Like the FBI Basically Orchestrated the Gretchen Whitmer 'Kidnapping' Plot
By Bonchie | Jul 20, 2021 7:00 PM ET
In news that’s flying below the radar a bit, more evidence of just how corrupt and compromised the FBI has become emerged today.
You may recall the much-ballyhooed plot to supposedly kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last year. Arrests were made in October of 2020, with the claim being that the FBI had stopped the kidnapping plot as well as a plan to overthrow the government. After it came out in the weeks following the bust that one of the participants was anti-Trump and a Black Lives Matter supporter, the story quickly died down.
All of this was intertwined at the time with the politics of Whitmer’s controversial COVID policies. Earlier in the same year, there had been demonstrations at the state’s capital that drew lots of press attention and condemnation. The insinuation pushed by the media was that those demonstrations had provoked the kidnapping plot.
But now, a big curveball is being thrown into the mix regarding what actually happened. Apparently, the FBI didn’t just have informants within the group where the arrests were made. Rather, FBI operatives played a key role in the planning of the entire ordeal and were also seemingly instrumental in birthing the plot.

The FBI should be commended for stopping the kidnapping plot that they conceived and organized

If, as has been claimed, the FBI infiltrators instigated rather than merely observed, that should result in Not Guilty verdicts. It's called "entrapment".

At this point, given everything they have been doing in this case and others, it's hard not to conclude that the FBI is a criminal organization.

The defendants are announcing that they will be using the "entrapment" defense. Going a bit "out there", I wonder if Whitmer was in on this stunt or even an instigator/initiator.
