2020, MAN: Feds say they thwarted militia plot to kidnap Whitmer.

The FBI thwarted what they described as a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and federal prosecutors are expected to discuss the alleged conspiracy later Thursday.

The alleged plot involved reaching out to members of a Michigan militia, according to a federal affidavit filed Thursday.

“Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor,” an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. “The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message.”

The affidavit was filed hours after a team of FBI agents raided a Hartland Township home Wednesday and comes amid an ongoing investigation into the death of a Metro Detroit man killed during a shootout with FBI agents.

I doubt they will be given the same treatment as our ?mostly peaceful? rioters: ?Flora Westbrooks, owner of Flora?s Hair Designs, will be VP Pence?s guest at the debate tonight. Her salon was burned to the ground by rioters. Kamala Harris helped bail them out.”
