Defense team in Whitmer kidnap plot case asks judge to toss indictment
[DETROITNEWS] The indictment against five men accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender who never got off the ground... should be dismissed due to "egregious overreaching" by federal agents and informants, defense lawyers wrote in a coordinated attempt to scuttle the high-profile case three months before trial.
 ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...agents and federal prosecutors capitalized on discontent with Whitmer's handling of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, invented a conspiracy and entrapped five people who face up to life in prison if convicted of kidnapping conspiracy in a case that has shed light on The 20-page motion, filed Christmas night by all five defense lawyers, asks U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker to dismiss the conspiracy charge. The move would effectively dismantle the government's case and remaining charges, which are intertwined and based on the conspiracy charge, the lawyers wrote. The request follows a stream of allegations and developments about the government's team involved in the case. That included the convictions of FBI Special Agent Richard Trask, the government's public face of the investigation who was arrested on a domestic violence charge and later fired and convicted of a misdemeanor; and informant Stephen Robeson, who was dropped by the FBI after being caught illegally possessing a sniper rifle.
