This is from the Western Journal (https://www.westernjournal.com/bombshell-report-fbi-plotted-kidnap-whitmer-blamed-conservatives/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=CTBreaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=conservative-tribune&ats_es=5ee8e17d0874ada044f327502c978c58):
“The FBI’s complicity in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was incredibly bold and incredibly shocking. That the premier law enforcement agency in the United States would try to frame a candidate and then the newly elected president for a crime they knew he did not commit and allow the farce to continue until there was nowhere left for it to go was something most of us would never have thought possible. The fact that no one was ever held accountable for this massive deception is mind-blowing.”
Has the FBI become a crime organization?
It helped plot the kidnapping of the (heavily authoritarian Democrat] governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Why?
Matthew Braun, former terrorist-hunting agent, writes at The Federalist (What The Whitmer Kidnapping Case Reveals About The FBI):
This week included interesting revelations about the FBI’s case against the handful of people charged with plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Of 14 people indicted, five (or more) were working as informants for the FBI.
The five people who seem to be the FBI informants were also the people who seemed to have all the kidnapping ideas and access to all the equipment needed for a paramilitary assault on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s vacation home.
[The conspirators] didn’t know they were surrounded by feds and continued to take overt actions that advanced the fantasy conspiracy.
How does FBI involvement come about?
The suspects start out by talking about jihad or revolution or overthrowing the government, and someone in their chat group decides he should tell the FBI.
The people the FBI sends in to look at the chats or communicate with the suspects offer to help. They offer bombs. They offer direction. They suggest targets.
In case after case, it’s the FBI that creates the illusion of the ability to do harm. There are no bombs, no ability to launch an attack. There is no group ready to meet and support them, no weapons smugglers, or expert marksmen.
So what’s interesting about the revelations from this week is not that the FBI is up to some new, clever gambit to combat the wily insurrectionists in our midst. What is interesting is they are right back to pulling the same tricks they used on wannabe al-Qaeda and ISIS dopes for the last 15 years.
Why is the assistant director of the FBI’s Washington Field Office—Anthony D’Antuono, who is heading the investigation into the January 6 riot at the capitol and was previously in charge of the Detroit Field Office—doing these things? He’s never known another way. He had been an FBI agent only three years on 9/11, and all that time he was a forensic accountant. This is how the FBI has run these kinds of investigations his entire career.
The problem is not that we’re going to find out that the January 6 case is going to be full of FBI agents and informants, just like the Whitmer kidnapping case. The problem is we are starting to understand this is standard procedure for counterterrorism. This is a 20-year-old charade the FBI brass has been pulling.
The FBI didn’t let the crisis of 9/11 go to waste—they seized on it to dramatically increase their funding and power. They suddenly took the “lead” on terrorism all over the United States. Before 9/11, they had treated terrorism as an ugly footnote. The people on the USS Cole bombing case remember working out of basement offices, part-time, as al-Qaeda grew more powerful, better funded, and trained hundreds of people in Afghanistan.
Once the FBI was in charge, there were lots of new positions, offices to fill, and money to spend. … In 2001, the FBI wanted $1.5 billion for counterterrorism and only got $500 million. In 2002, they asked for $200 million more. In 2003, they asked for $285 million more. And so on. The total FBI budget was about $3.5 billion in 2002. It’s more than $10 billion today.
They need work to justify those budgets, and America needs a new enemy.
The [Democrat] government has begun to use the tools that were developed to fight a credible foreign threat *now to fight against the political opponents of Democrats.
That’s an explanation but not an excuse.
It is an obviously unendurable state of affairs when all the chief law-enforcement agencies, FBI, CIA, NSA, DoJ, and the majority in the legislature, and the executive branch of government deem half the nation an enemy – of the nation!
