ABC is reporting that the FBI thwarted an attempted kidnapping of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The FBI arrested six men from the group “Wolverwen Watchmen” in an elaborate plan to kidnap the Michigan governor.
FBI complaint alleges suspects:
• Purchased a taser to use in the kidnapping
• Conducted surveillance on Gov. Whitmer’s home
• Tested explosive device wrapped with shrapnel for use in distracting police pic.twitter.com/ibe20DWWBB— The Recount (@therecount) October 8, 2020
They are charged with conspiracy to kidnap Governor Whitmer from her vacation home. If these men are convicted they could face up to life in prison. The Federal complaints say that the Michigan FBI became aware through social media that there was a violent plan to overthrow the government.

FBI reportedly put undercover officials inside the organization to get more information about their plan. The group crossed state lines and pulled funds to purchase explosives and riot gear.
I’m not sure how you plan to “overthrow the government” by kidnapping one of the worst governors elected right now. I love to see that Governor Whitmer accepts the help of a Federal investigator when her life is on the line, but not when you have ANTIFA burning your cities.
Some of these men will be charged in Michigan with felonies for “gang membership” that could hold a 20-year prison sentence. They are trying to pin violence on the far-right.
I don’t mind the FBI arresting anyone because these men deserve to be arrested and put behind bars. However, I am worried that the trend is to arrest everyone except for the people actively trying to take over our government in cities all over the United States.

Why is the FBI able to track these men down organizing across state lines, and yet ANTIFA/BLM rioters are on video in multiple different states telling you they are going to burn cities to the ground, and they aren’t capable of finding the leader?
These militia members are only talking about doing the illegal activity they are being charged with; ANTIFA is actively attempting to overthrow our government. Crickets from the FBI.
It is time for Wray to be fired. The FBI can do the job if they threaten a Democrat governor, but not if they come for you.
