BREAKING: Men Guilty on All Charges in Michigan Governor 'Kidnapping' Case
2022-08-23
[PJMedia] Adam Fox
...accused of being the other ringleader in addition to paid Fed informant Big Dan Chappel...
and Barry Croft
...pardoned in 2019 for an old conviction for possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, allegedly the group’s bomb maker and a national leader of the 3 Percenters...
were found guilty of trying to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in their second trial of the year. The first took place in April.

FACT-O-RAMA! Adam Fox was so destitute he was living in the basement of a vacuum repair shop. An FBI informant offered him a credit card with a value of $5,000 to buy ammo for the kidnapping plot on several occasions, and Fox refused it.

The first trial ended in a mistrial for both men but set two other defendants free.

American Greatness senior writer Julie Kelly has been covering the controversial trials, even referring to them as the “Michigan fednapping” case.

The case is controversial because many of the people involved were FBI agents or informants. By some counts, as many as 12 agents or informants were involved.

FRAME-O-RAMA! The alleged scheme broke and the arrests took place in October 2020, a month before the 2020 election.

The two other defendants from the first trial in April, Brandon Caserta
...loudly anti-Trump Antifa...
and Daniel Harris,
...security guard, former Marine, BLM protester, so neither should be counted as “rightwing”...
were found not guilty on all charges. Two more defendants took plea deals and testified in both trials.

The judge who presided over both the April trial and the most recent proceedings, U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker, was accused of bias, going so far as limiting the time for the defense lawyers’ cross-examination of witnesses.

FACT-O-RAMA! At least 14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward recently, one of whom claims the FBI is padding the number of domestic violent extremists. Apparently, there just aren’t enough for the FBI.

Both men could spend the rest of their lives in prison. It is not yet known if they will appeal.
