Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Authorities in Michigan said they have arrested a 14th person charged in the domestic terrorism plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The state's Attorney General Dana Nessel announced in a release Thursday that Brian Higgins, 51, of Wisconsin Dells, Wis., has been charged "for his alleged participation in a plan of domestic terrorism that included storming the Michigan Capitol building and harming government officials."

Higgins was arrested Thursday in Wisconsin and is awaiting extradited to Michigan where he will be arraigned on one count of providing material assistance to the terrorist plot to kidnap Whitmer. If convicted on the terrorism charge, Higgins faces up to 20 years in prison.

. . .

"Brian Higgins and others provided material support and resources in the furtherance of terrorist acts," the document said. "In particular Brian Higgins, while on a nighttime surveillance of the Governor's home, provided the use of his night-vision goggles for the surveillance. Additionally, he used a mounted digital dash camera located in his vehicle to record the surveillance of the Governor's home in order to aid in kidnapping plans."

9. A lot of unoccupied basements now.

I wonder how many of these (and future arrests) will be Wisconsinites.

Old Brian was from the Dells and the group had a rendezvous in a small town in Wisconsin (Cambria) where they did target practice on a clueless guy's farm. Typically, a meeting place is centrally located. Cambria is closer to Fond du Lac, at the southern tip of Lake Winnebago. This tells me there's a terrorist cell in Wisconsin and Tony Evers may be in jeopardy too. There was also a plot to kidnap Ralph Northam of Virginia, so they could be going after all Dem governors, per inferred instructions from Der Fuehrer.

I'm glad the FBI is on America's side on this.
