Informant Testifies on Whitmer Kidnapping Plot
March 5, 2021 at 10:10 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
This is quite a story from the Detroit Free Press:
“A confidential FBI informant testified Friday in a Jackson court about being embedded for months alongside leaders of a group accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.”
“The informant’s identity was concealed for his safety. Introduced only as ‘Dan,’ an online video feed of Friday’s hearing was cut off during his testimony so court observers only could hear him.”
“Dan described learning of the group — known as the Wolverine Watchmen — through a Facebook algorithm that he believed made the suggestion based on his interactions with other Facebook pages that support the Second Amendment and firearms training.”
