BREAKING: No Convictions in Whitmer 'Kidnapping' Case, Another Black Eye For the FBI
[PJMedia] A Grand Rapids, Mich., jury delivered no convictions in the FBI’s case against supposed “right-wing radicals” involving their plan to kidnap Michigan’s Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer.

Investigative reporter Julie Kelly stated on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show that the FBI operation intended to paint right-wingers as dangerous prior to the 2020 elections.

The “kidnap crew” contained more FBI agents and informers than civilians partaking in the supposed scheme. It appears as though the FBI concocted the plan and then tried to recruit people to join them.

The jury returned no verdict on Adam Fox, the supposed ring-leader, and on Barry Croft as well. Both ended in a mistrial. They may have to go back for another trial.

Two other defendants, Daniel Harris
...security guard, former Marine, BLM protester...
and Brandon Caserta,
...loudly anti-Trump Antifa...
were found not guilty of kidnapping charges. They are free.

The four men faced life in prison if the FBI had gotten away with their vile, un-American plan.

#3 Headline is a bit misleading.
2 x Not Guilty
2 x Mistrial

That said, the whole thing stinks. Out of 14 plotters, half turned out to be working for the feds, include the guys with the money, plans, and hotel reservations.

#4 FBI Director should resign in shame, but won't happen as DS/Dems have no shame. This should be a alert across the DOJ that they have lost all their credibility
