The FBI was apparently well aware of the activities of the men charged Thursday and there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to the governor.
First, how long will it take before Donald Trump and the usual crowd of Republican cowards come forward to not only defend these fools, but start promoting them as patriots.
This is the type of lawless behaviour that Donald Trump has encouraged starting with his announcement to run, throughout the campaign and has continued through his time in office. Even though his rhetoric had led to violence against those in opposition to his polices. Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular have failed to condemn those involved.
An FBI-led investigation identified six men who were trying to plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The investigation involved multiple confidential sources and undercover FBI personnel.
Based on court documents, the FBI was well aware of the activities of the men charged Thursday and there does not seem to have been an imminent threat posed to Gov. Whitmer, a Democrat.
The documents identify the defendants as Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta.
At a meeting in July, allegedly attended and recorded by one of the confidential sources, the men “discussed attacking a Michigan State Police facility, and in a separate conversation after the meeting, Garbin suggested shooting up the Governor’s vacation home," authorities allege.
