F.B.I. is saying a Michigan militia had plotted to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. They have filed chargers to six men who are motivated by anti-government views. The F.B.I. said they were going to try to commit this action before the presidential election. It is seen that the six men have been planning this over the summer. Meeting for firearm training, drills, and the ability to make explosions. The group was getting help from informants from the F.B.I. The charge was a conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
This article was very eye-catching. When you see someone trying to kidnap a government official it is very concerning that they could even have the possibility to get a hold of them. I also felt they delivered on the story after catching my eye by explaining all the information and how they feel it should be concerning. Lastly, the information is very correct due to the source coming straight from the F.B.I. Having them as the direct source allows us to know the exact story.
An interesting lead. There was a time when something like this would have seemed impossible.
You put faith in the accuracy of the FBI. Not everyone would , unfortunately.
