"Defense attorneys maintained an entrapment defense, arguing that the FBI coerced the defendants to drive the plot forward through a collection of undercover agents and confidential informants.
Fox's attorney told jurors during closing arguments that he was lured into the scheme by the government's key witness, a confidential informant called "Big Dan."

We've been over this before, but if you're in a group (left or right), the guy who suggests violence or crime is quite likely to be a cop. You've been warned.

This would have been a terrible loss if they acquitted these clowns. It would have sparked a movement of violent traitors posing as patriots.

I think that horse has left the stable. Or the jackass is out of the pen maybe.

And I agree with you Rusty. Every "Big Dan" has their neck already in a noose and can't get out of it any other way than delivering three or more convictions. It's an ugly business.

DeSantis continued. "We're seeing what's happening with this Michigan kidnapping hoax, it's a total disaster for the bureau." -said today, Aug 23rd.

Jury thought differently. This is scary for a Governor to be spreading conspiracy theories. "We're Seeing what's happening"...Uh...what I see is a jury found them guilty.

"So the FBI has a history now of weaponizing its power to go after people that it doesn't like. And not only have they done that in a variety of contexts, they've gone after Donald Trump as a candidate specifically with Russian collusion. Even when he became President, and they were basically trying to drive him out of office based on a conspiracy theory," DeSantis asserted.

"You've seen FBI agents falsifying FISA applications to get surveillance on innocent Americans," DeSantis continued. "We're seeing what's happening with this Michigan kidnapping hoax, it's a total disaster for the bureau. You look at what's happened with having FBI agents surveil parents going to school board meetings, who would have ever thought that?"

Gov. Whitmer kidnap case crashes: 'Conspiracy that just never was,' attorney says
By John Agar
April 8, 2022

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - The families of four men accused of conspiring to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer gasped and held tight Friday, April 8, when a jury acquitted two defendants and failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the others.

The attorney for one of the acquitted men said the verdicts should be a "signal" to the government if it intends to retry the others.

No matter the chatter you might hear from right wing nut jobs & web sites, but Gretchen is really pretty popular up there with the other side of the fence.. Kinda like desantis is down here..

IMO MI is def going more blue, even though there are red pockets in rural areas with lots of disillusioned people - their parents grew up working blue collar auto industry jobs under the safety net of unions, retired early etc.. Saint ronnie et al, & globalism made that a thing of the past..

Def a militia type presence - pass military style camo vehicles on the back roads..

Frankly not really surprised that happened - just 'across the bay'..
