It’s an older story but provides another embarrassing tale for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Remember the 2020 kidnapping plot against Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, which was later exposed as a failed FBI entrapment plot? The supposed masterminds got charged, but none of them were indicted because the case was marinated with lies. This case was supposed to be a slam-dunk for the feds. It was a train wreck, but the damage was done. Whitmer weaponized the FBI informant-led plot to attack Trump in the waning days of the 2020 election, which was possibly the bureau’s intent. They fabricated evidence to spy on Trump campaign officials and kept the Russian collusion circus going while knowing that it was a Democrat-funded opposition research project that was unverifiable. The FBI has done many an election interference operation since 2016.
Two of the alleged conspirators are being re-tried, which is led to this FBI informant dropping some damning information about the Justice Department. In May 2020, protesters, some of whom were armed, stormed the state capitol in Lansing. The uproar occurred over Whitmer’s continued use of emergency powers over the COVID pandemic, but the latest development here is that the FBI reportedly told the Michigan police to let the armed protesters into the building. Our friends at Twitchy had it first.

Is this article going to be published in the future? You have some great powers! ;-)
I believe they were indicted, but were not convicted. Perhaps Matt meant to say convicted.
I believe 2 of them were found not guilty by the jury, while the other 2 had their case hung by the jury, and the DoJ is promising to retry them.
An obvious mistype. Hit the 2 key instead of the 1 key.
The Feebs’ Credibility Rating is negative.
I know a guy.............😂👍 Coffee fingers.
If they’re going to redo the trial I’d say redo the crime too, only this time really grab her arse and drop it in Lake Superior.
Julie Kelly on Twitter tweeting the trial.
Oh no, we are all doome.................
When over 50% of your agents are “plants” into nefarious organizations, does that mean the FBI is a corrupt organization if over half the agents are participating in corrupt activities as participants, plotters and entrapers?
Anyone remember filegate? It was a twofer: FBI corruption + White House document mishandling.

Yeah, I know. I am just joking.

All Ron Desantis has to do is
———have a grand jury made up of true patriots
———have them indict FBI, Whitmer, Merrick Garland......Biden, etc
-——whether it sticks or not
———serve the damned thing
-—then let the feckless media ride it
Lol. I was going to ask you for some investment advice... or winning lottery numbers.
How can De Santis a state governor convene a federal grand jury?
How does the Fbi do whatever it wants to Trump?
US Department of Justice. February 18, 2018
The Department of Justice announced that a grand jury in the District of Columbia today returned an indictment presented by the Special Counsel’s Office. The indictment charges thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the United States political system, including the 2016 Presidential election. The defendants allegedly conducted what they called “information warfare against the United States,” with the stated goal of “spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general.” “This indictment serves as a reminder that people are not always who they appear to be on the Internet,” said Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein. “The indictment alleges that the Russian conspirators want to promote discord in the United States and undermine public confidence in democracy. We must not allow them to succeed. The Department of Justice will continue to work cooperatively with other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and with the Congress, to defend our nation against similar current and future schemes. I want to thank the federal agents and prosecutors working on this case for their exceptional service. And we received exceptional cooperation from private sector companies like Facebook, Oath, PayPal, and Twitter.”
Unexpected by the DOJ, "Putin's Chef" Ivgeney Prigozhen, his company Concord Management and one other firm actually hired lawyers to go to a public trial against the DOJ
The DOJ never produced any evidence to the Court, and eventually, in March 2020, all charges were quietly dropped.
The courts kind of revealed themselves when they ruled "no standing" on all the election challenges.
I’ve often speculated that to be a good cop they have to think like a criminal. The problem for some of them is that once they get the badge and the gun, this newfound power starts to cloud their thinking and the criminal thought process takes over and they begin to act on these thoughts with impunity
maybe so.
