Another entrapment operation.

The whole 'plan' was most likely conceived by the federal agent, the sixth man who wasn't arrested.

Sure, they "made" them do it. I guess when tRump said "LIBERATE MICHIGAN" he was in on the sting?

Conspiracy theories much?

Anything to back up this supposition or are you pulling it out of thin air?

These traitorous militias need to be sat on hard. They are armed and dangerous.

In light of the crazy talk NI has posted, and my observations of the "Sovereign citizen"/ 2nd amendment types, I have little doubt this is genuine, given Michigan being a hotbed of outlaw militia groups activity.

Democrats Blame Trump Rhetoric For Michigan Governor Kidnapping Plot

In a Thursday press conference, Whitmer thanked law enforcement for their efforts to bring "these sick and depraved men to justice." She also pointed to language by the president, particularly Trump's recent refusals to openly condemn white supremacists, as inciting this sort of political violence.

"Just last week, the president of the United States stood before the American people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups, like these two Michigan militia groups. 'Stand back and stand by,' he told them. 'Stand back and stand by.' Hate groups heard the president's words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry, as a call to action," she said. Whitmer was referring to one of Trump's responses in the last presidential debate, in which he declined to condemn white supremacy. After days of criticism, he did condemn white supremacist groups in a TV interview.

25th Amendment SO badly needed right now. COVID failed to do its job, so far, on this scumbag.

Oh, COVID did a job. Cost him points in the polls everywhere. People like presidents who aren't spreaders of dangerous infection.
