Inquiring minds would like to know. Wonder what the wires will reveal?
What the hell were they going to do with her? Where were they going to keep her?

What it would really have started is an uprising against them, and I would have joined it.

Re: Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and
I'm guessing the plan was to find her guilty and carry out the death penalty.

(146,351 posts)the Governor of Michigan is protected by the Michigan State Police. Those overweight, sedentary, untrained militia members are going to kidnap who? I don't think so.
That's the thing about all those militia assholes. They talk a good fight, but never seem to actually show up to face a well-organized, well-trained force of law enforcement professionals.
There aren't enough of them to take on a small suburban police department, much less a State Police department.
Buncha freaking incel morons!
