Man Who Allegedly Plotted Whitmer Kidnapping Not Guilty, Attorney Says

The attorney for one of the men accused in a plot to kidnap Michigan's governor says his client is not guilty and he needs to see the evidence himself.

"I want to review the tapes, the recordings, the video," said Gary Springstead, lawyer for Ty Garbin said outside the courthouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "I want to talk to witnesses. I want to get a lot better picture of what was actually going on here, particularly from my client's perspective."

Meanwhile, in court an FBI agent testified Tuesday that members of anti-government paramilitary groups implicated in the alleged plot also discussed abducting Virginia's governor.

During a hearing in a Grand Rapids federal court to review the evidence against Adam Fox, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta, and to determine if they should remain jailed until trial, FBI agent Richard Trask revealed new details about investigators' use of confidential informants, undercover agents and encrypted communication in the case.

The five Michigan men and Barry Croft, a Delaware man who was ordered Tuesday to be transferred to Michigan to face the charges, were arrested last week in the alleged plot aimed at Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer.

The FBI discovered the June 6 meeting in Dublin, Ohio, during an investigation of various anti-government groups, leading to the months-long case in Michigan that relied on confidential sources, undercover agents and clandestine recordings to foil the alleged kidnapping conspiracy, according to the criminal complaint and Trask's testimony.

It was not immediately clear whether talk of targeting Virginia's Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, went beyond the June meeting, and nothing from the criminal complaint or Trask's testimony indicated that anyone had been charged with plotting against Northam. Trask said members of anti-government groups from "four or five" states attended that meeting, and the complaint noted that Croft and Fox were among the roughly 15 people who were there.

Every person who is charged with any crime pleads not guilty. So what's news about this? The real problem comes down to when the trial starts and whether or not this lawyer can prove that his client is innocent.

Oh, well, if his attorney says he's not guilty... lol.
