They should sue the FBI for violating their civil rights.

The same guy, Steven D'Antuono, ran the Whitmer "Kidnapping Plot" at the FBI Detroit Field Office. He is currently at the Washington Field Office and is responsible for the Jan 6 "Insurrection" prosecutions.

"Meanwhile the secret service is accepting bribes from foreign spies." 😂😂😂

Whitmer should be investigated over her handling of deaths in assisted living and nursing homes where she put covid positive patients (and not just elderly ones). I believe her decisions will end up being worse than Coumo's if they are ever investigated to the full extent. This sentiment was starting to gain traction until the "kidnapping" case came along.

Nobody in their right mind would want to take that blabbling Karen. They need to work on creating realistic scenarios.

[MrBenjaminCole]

The segment of Gov. Whitmer with the emoting translator is priceless.

[MaskHysteria]

Just a reminder that this is the one where the FBI got caught.

[humanoidphenomnon]

"inside job" doesn't sound like a theory anymore huh.

[zzeshan]

FBI had its hand in this mess from initial and end of plot

[lyleanderson]

Can we consider charges against the FBI and Whitmer?

[chrissan]

FBI has been watching too many old episodes of SCANDAL.

[Dale]

Who is going to hold the FBI accountable for what they did just rebuking them is not the answer we need FBI brought up on charges and convicted.

[paulweeldreyer]

I guess sometimes the judicial system still works.

In fairness, Whitmer identifies as someone who was in danger.

[SeattleMommy]

The signing translator during the governor’s speech was so entertaining…so much passion! 😂

[bsmithhammer]

I find it particularly fascinating that Whitmer has had nothing to say about the fact that it was actually the FBI concocting this whole thing. I would think a governor would be kind of upset about that?

[StevenSmith-tbhj]

I wonder if Joy Reed has ever heard of a story that wasn't racist .

[mlmoreno]

Is this Smollett with a white liberal female politician???

[MonsieurDrobot]

In a perfect world, Whitmer experiences the level of pain she’s doled out to others.

[pamschilaty]

I agree with Kim's point on the manufactured fear narratives on both side of the isle.

[kevinbarker]

Funny the 14 other co-conspirators (FBI agents) was not charged, even when it was their idea 🤦‍♂️
