FBI Thwarts Plot to Kidnap MI Gov, Now With Bonus Plots

The FBI says it thwarted what it 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. Not only did they plan to kidnap her but they also planned to hold a kangaroo court session and then kill her.

It's terrifying that something like this was in planning stages. What has America come too? People say militias and white supremacists aren't a threat well here is your proof. I wonder if their are other plots like this out there being investigated.

Your thoughts NSG?

This election won't be peaceful, and I think we will soon have a civil war. I mean, this is pretty bad.

Maybe my prediction the multiverse converges on the 22nd or that the KKK Will revolt in December isn't as crazy as I thought.

I don't like her either but I would never wish or plot harm on an elected official and nor should anyone else.

Just so you know, the left mitten doesn't like her either. We could give you some milk to be governor!

Don't think he was launching a defense of Whitmer's possible kidnappers.

Doesn't matter. I would probably hate her too, but this isnt really a good sign of what is to come.

They not only planned to kidnap her but hold a kangaroo court session in Wisconsin and then kill her. This gets more and more terrifying.

it was apparently a massive plot.

I didn't think so either. Just that there is more at play than entertainment value.

Many sovereign citizens have always fanticized about doing that crap.

Okay c'mon FBI. Wisconsin was about to get some attention. (But to be real, OH LORD, FIRST LIKE 9 SERIAL KILLERS AND NOW THIS??)

I have a bad feeling that /pol/ was involved. They seemed to hate her as much as they hate that darn "He Will Not Divide" Flag. In both cases, I support them.

It was a militia, but this sounds like a state party. So, their goal was kidnap her, hold a Kangaroo court, and kill her? Then what? The US would invade Michigan and install military rule even if all went smooth.
