- (Oct. 8) Watch live as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer delivers remarks from Lansing, Michigan, after six people were arrested over a plot to kidnap her on Thursday, October 8, 2020.
The U.S. said it would also bring charges against seven other people connected to the Wolverine Watchmen militia for attempts to target law enforcement officers and start a civil war.
The alleged plot, which the U.S. said included staking out Whitmer’s vacation home, came to light early this year when the FBI learned from social media that a group of people was discussing the “violent overthrow of certain government and law-enforcement components,” according to the Justice Department.
The six “talked about creating a society that followed the U.S. Bill of Rights and where they could be self-sufficient,” according to the U.S. “They discussed different ways of achieving this goal from peaceful endeavors to violent actions. At one point, several members talked about state governments they believed were violating the U.S. Constitution, including the government of Michigan and Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor.”
Five Michiganders were arrested Wednesday in Ypsilanti, court records indicate. A Delaware man was also charged.
Michigan is a hotbed of nationalist, extremist and white supremacist hate groups, with more than two dozen organizations active in the state, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. In addition, during the early stage of the coronavirus pandemic, it was among the states where President Donald Trump urged supporters to resist lockdown measures, with a tweet on April 17 urging people to “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!”
Whitmer, once considered a top contender as Joe Biden’s running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket, has become a target of conservatives who believe her response to the pandemic trampled on individual freedoms with statewide orders to wear masks and stay at home. Hundreds of demonstrators, some of them armed, occupied the Michigan statehouse this spring to protest the orders. The Michigan Supreme Court later ruled that Whitmer lacked the authority to enforce such orders.
The Michigan men charged include Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta. The Delaware resident is Barry Croft. The charge, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, carries a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.
In June, Fox, Croft and about a dozen others gathered in Dublin, Ohio, with a secret government cooperator in attendance, according to the U.S. The two met later that month with leaders of a militia group, including Garbin, to discuss a plan to storm the Capitol in Lansing, take hostages including the governor and try Whitmer for treason before the November elections, according to the U.S.
About a week later, Fox, Garbin and several others met in the basement of Fox’s business in Grand Rapids, which they accessed through a trap door hidden under a rug, the FBI said in court papers. While Fox collected the cell phones of the group so they couldn’t be monitored, a government informant recorded the meeting, during which they discussed storming the Capitol and destroying police vehicles with Molotov cocktails, and planned to meet during the first week of July for training, the U.S. claimed.
The alleged conspirators used code words on social media and encrypted methods of communication to coordinate the kidnapping and discussed detonating explosive devices to distract law enforcement, Andrew Birge, U.S. attorney for the Western Michigan District, said at a press conference Thursday afternoon in Lansing. They also conducted surveillance of Whitmer’s vacation home, Birge said.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said they are part of a militia group called Wolverine Watchmen. Nessel said they planned to kidnap other government officials, but declined to mention names.
In the end, law enforcement agents who learned of the plot lured Fox, Garbin, Franks and Harris to a meeting where they thought they’d be buying explosives and tactical gear.
Users of the internet forum 4chan reacted with suspicion to reports of the alleged plot, doubting the authenticity of the FBI’s claim. Much of the chatter on the site concluded that the news was ‘fake’ but nonetheless predicted it would be bad for the president. Some cheered on the militia, saying its plan, if true, sounded “heroic.”

If some group of psychopaths made a plot against my life, my first thought wouldn't be to try to milk it in a press conference for maximum political gain. I guess that's why I'm a human being and not a slimy politician.
The six kidnappers must be leprechauns, sent by Darby O'Gill
Is this the latest secret Nazi inside joke?
@Treasury Of Snow lol, good one.
@Jacob McPhsx sorry, I don't believe any of it - but if it were true, they should have the same rights as Antifa............ (but not really). Tragic
Life in prison if convicted of this crime sounds about right.
Has the "Law & Order" prez made a statement about this yet? He should be congratulating the FBI on a job well done & condemning these domestic terrorist militiamen
Hey Gretchen, when you gonna put seeds back on the shelves in our grocery stores? Are they still considered non-essential items?
It doesn't really matter - we will never forget!
God forbid that seeds shall ever be taken off the shelves for consumers to browse through.
👍😂😂
In the beginning she said make sure to have the illusion of 6 ft apart in other videos. Why must it be an illusion if they care about distancing.
I heard that too!!!
After extensive studying about NPD, I imagine a narcissist could concoct this as the ultimate publicity stunt to gain unwarranted sympathy from the people he/she unconstitutionally oppressed. DISCLAIMER: Just imagining, not actually accusing in any way.
You know what happens to boys like them once they arrive at the Big House. 😂😂😂 They won't be able to cry for momma. 😂😂
Have you ever been to the bighouse? They will be treated as hero's and feared by the rest. They are not child molesters.
@Idi Amin yep, they'll probably fit in with other fuckwits like themselves
Stay strong and safe, Gretch - we are behind you. Thank you for leading our state, I am proud to be a fellow Michigander with you! Much love
The only people that are "behind her" were her male High School classmates that used to call her "stretching Gretchen" for a very lewd reason.
Who in their right mind would want to kidnap her ????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
ikr? just “take care” of her and call it a day.

Dam the FBI. WE NEED TO DEFUND THEM.
Half of the video is silence and blurry what a waste of time.

Thank you Gretchen for having the courage to stand up for those who really care. GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU SAFE.
These nuts belong in jail. Still doesn’t change the fact that Whitmer is a disaster and is ruining Michigan.
@@ElTigre12024 Sorry she's not ruining Michigan the people are. The Nuts in the White House politicized Covid-19. This virus doesn't care who we are, it's nasty!!!

Then we have people having house parties. They can't be sure their guests don't have the virus. This is why we have thousands dead from Covid-19. It's not her fault. It's the people.

What about the publuc plans that HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT TO HURT THEM. She isxa wicked woman.
I’ll tell you what I love how people are Saying Militia do people not remember that the fact is we did have a militia and we still need a militia during our battle with England for independence we had a militia known as Minuteman they stood out a minutes notice to stand against the English invading the United States we revolted because of a tyrant in England. Our forefathers who wrote the constitution and the declaration of independence said we should keep a militia due to the fact that if we should ever run into a tyrant again the people should be able to protect them selves against that. Now every member of this Militia happened to be a member of antifa militia they are a left-wing radical group that is burning down small businesses in their own communities in trying to overthrow state government does a different one serves the public well-being the other is nothing but a domestic terrorist group.
We in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus." This is the statement from Dr David Nabarro. "The only time we believe a lockdown in justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources; protect your health workers who are exhausted," Dr Nabarro said.
"But by and large, we'd rather not do it."
Our prayers go with this lady.
The illusion of 6ft...smh
GRETCHEN SMOLLET !!🤣🤣🤣
ByBL- Why didn't they just start a recall and kick her out of office ??
Has the "Law & Order" prez made a statement about this yet? He should be congratulating the FBI on a job well done & condemning these domestic terrorists.
And yet, he did not.
Details...
Gobsmacked again..Its a daily event..
An evil person
Remember Pelosi said i have alot of arrows in my cuvier
And this is what you come up with. You people will reach for anything. Qanon too? Likely.
Time to arrest the leader of domestic terrorists
Tell me again how militia doesn't mean terrorism?
You should look up Brandon Concerta, one of the men arrested. He is ANTIFA not right wing. Don't believe everything you see/hear. Do your own research. After this I am switching parties this election!

we now know that 97% of the group of Kidnappers were🥸 FBI 😎agents!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not even real kidnappers want to kidnap Gretchen🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! I don't wish any harm upon this woman. In the same sentence she talks about taking an oath on the Bible she says we're "tough as hell", no ma'am, I'm as tough as HEAVEN! Look at her distract and blind Michiganders with hate that Trump has denounced repeatedly! President Trump made that statement about "Proud Boys" who he didn't know at the time and neither did I. And then she brings up Charlottesville again which none of these yahoo's quote in context. Then what SHE SAYS about hate groups/crimes is EXACTLY what Trump has said repeatedly. Get woke people! lies, lies, lies!
Well spoken Governor Gretchen
A very dark woman

None of you know, all of you just speculating and voicing your belief.
thats right.............
Its called being American, so...?
@@brianstelter7067 so does being American mean that you can speculate without the facts and call it the truth. It's also American when you wait and get the facts so you can know what you talkin about.

She is trying to get moral support for being a traitor..!!! BS !!! all the way !!
Why is she a traitor ? I never heard of her lol 😂
Are you trying to say she deserved it? To nearly be kidnapped?
@@subtlesigns she is a traitor !!!! she lost being a dictator..she is a liar !! she is a puppet of the globalists !! she is trying to deflect and switch the attention away from this to being attacked...its a bait and switch operation...this was a fake situation she made it up.
@@elizabethpedano9564 she is the Governor of Michigan...because she tried to stop them from getting the signatures to stop her unconstitutional lock down !! its the same with every Governor !! the national lock down is unconstitutional across the nation !!
miller you are off your head and out if line. She was trying to save lives and these people wanted to kidnap her. You are brainwashed. Really, reassess your attitude.
It would be nearly impossible to capture Gov. Wretched Whitmer. If you look directly at the Beast you'll turn to Stone.
Lol
And if you sneeze near her and get her wet, she will melt.
Will the arrested be treated like all the others across the country for burning, looting and lawlessness? You know, catch and release? Will MFF step up and pay their bail?
Cumye might pay it.
we'll never know, the way media is today - never truth, only their agenda reigns for now.
“To keep up the illusion” wtf was that about at the beginning of this shitty stream!
One thing i know that our governor is doing more than any other governors in United States "she is doing the right thing to kip us safe from c.v.19 and thats how people is paying her thats not good at all we need to be glad that we have a strict governor that cares for the state and people 🤔😲
Please please please be the first person to volunteer for the vaccine so we can start to thin your herd.
what? are you drunk or just poorly informed? (pray for your enlightenment)
Thank you god for keeping our great governor safe from right wing terrorists! Also, thank you Mrs. Whitmer and Law Enforcement Officers for bringing these terrorist thugs to Justice!! She is the a true symbol of bravery and competent leadership!!
it's a fraud dummy
Wait....let me consult "Q" for the "Truth" instead of credible news sources, elected officials, and life time public servants lmao.
When all the fascists deny it, that's when I know its the truth!!
Gretchen Whitmer, thank you for protecting us from Fascist Right Wing Terrorist threats!

notice the timing of this sympathy getting event? hmmm
Did she call the police she defunded or Mickey Mouse
She did this to herself. Classic Democrat won't take responsibility for their own actions,attempt to blame others. She has been so outside the parameters of her elected Office as Governer for so long, ,a group of people decided they need to take law and order into their own hands. We definitely have a problem in Michigan if we cannot count on a system of checks and balances to keep our elected officials from abusing their power.
Proud boys at it again

Such a Crock of bull
I’m sorry I don’t believe this story! Somebody is lying and this is not cool
I'm confused. All of this sounds like a description of Antifa. I suppose there's not much difference between the radical Left/Right?
Antifa pretty much just riot and burn shit down and fight people and do other shit bit they don't t ey to get together and kidnap government officials or mayors governors and stuff I hear stories about antifia doing this and that but never nothing like this. So yeah this ain't antifa and does not sound like antifa to me.
I am going to laugh my ass off if this “story” fizzles out after the election......
False Flag.
Her husband was tired of being locked down, hired some people
Helarious!!!!!!!!
