Federal prosecutors are refusing to hand over text messages and laptops from FBI informants in the Whitmer kidnapping case.
In October 2020, the FBI announced during a press conference that it thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and overthrow the state government.
The Whitmer kidnapping plot was in the media 24/7 and used to bludgeon Trump with just a few weeks to go until Election Day.
The FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case.
There are 6 defendants and 12 FBI informants.
According to report BuzzFeed News published last month, the FBI was involved in every aspect of the Whitmer kidnapping case – starting with its inception!
FBI informants/agents actually helped hatch the kidnapping plot which means there would be no conspiracy case without the FBI.
One FBI informant organized all the meetings early on and paid for hotel rooms and food to entice the patsies.
It is illegal for FBI informants to hatch plots and encourage violence.
Defense lawyers are arguing the informants drew people into the conspiracy and that there is potential evidence of entrapment.
The defense lawyers for the accused ring leader Adam Fox are fighting for text messages and laptops and federal prosecutors do not want to hand them over, according to new court documents obtained by Local 4 Defenders:
