The plan: storming the Capitol, taking hostages, attacks with Molotov cocktails and explosives
The US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it has foiled a plot to kidnap and oust Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Whitmire became a target for coronavirus skeptics after strict measures were imposed that a judge canceled last week.
Officials said that the kidnapping plot included six men who had planned a “treason trial” for her, according to the “BBC.”
“There is no place for hatred, intolerance and violence” in Michigan, Whitmire said, describing the defendants as “corrupt.”
According to an FBI affidavit, a secret law enforcement source attended a meeting in June in Dublin, Ohio, during which a group of militia members in Michigan discussed the overthrow of state governments “that they believe are in violation of the US Constitution.”
The charge sheet states that several of the members spoke of killing “tyrants” or “kidnapping” the state governor.
In one of the videos, one of the suspects denounced the state’s role in determining when to reopen gyms during the coronavirus lockdown.
Investigators arrested thirteen people in the case.
Six of the accused men, five of them from Michigan and one from Delaware, are said to have planned a “treason trial” against Whitmire.
The authorities revealed the six suspects, namely: Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Caleb Franks, Daniel Harris, Brandon Cassert and Tay Garbin, who were raided by the authorities on Wednesday.
The other seven face charges of terrorism and gang-related crimes in state court in connection with the kidnapping plot.
The group wanted to gather about “200 men” to storm the Capitol building and take hostages, including the state governor .. They hoped to activate their plan before the presidential elections in November, and planned to attack the governor at her home if the first plan failed, according to what officials said.
The US Attorney for the Western District in Michigan said that the defendants “coordinated surveillance of the state governor’s home,” adding that they had also planned Molotov cocktail attacks on police officers, bought an electric stun gun, and raised their money to buy explosives and necessary equipment.
