Three men accused of supporting the plan to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were found guilty Wednesday of providing “material support” for a terrorist act as part of a paramilitary group.
A Jackson, Michigan, jury also convicted Pete Musico, his son-in-law Joe Morrison and Paul Bellar of a firearms crime and being members of a gang, the Wolverine Watchmen, The Associated Press reported.
The men participated in gun drills in Jackson County with accused kidnapping ringleader Adam Fox. Defense attorneys argued the three men were no longer associated with Fox by the time the plot came to light in summer 2020.
Whitmer said the verdicts “are further proof that violence and threats have no place in our politics.” The Democratic governor has not participated in the state or federal trials regarding her attempted kidnapping.

Good thing these guys had 15 or so FBI agents or CHS (Confidential Human Source) to help them. Can’t commit that big a crime with just amateurs running the show.
The FBI is a lot like Big Pharma. They invent a cure for a minor problem that gives you a major problem and then sell you the cure for the major problem.
Create a crime, solve it, become heroes and get bigger budgets and promotions. Works every time!
