Defense says Gov. Whitmer kidnap plot was just ‘big talk between crackpots.’ FBI Paid informant may have been the biggest instigator of the alleged plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer of Michigan. This leads us to wonder what the FBI’s agenda was.
“(I)t’s become an issue in certain cases where the informant pushes some of the information, and the court and the government and the defense attorneys have to be leery of that,” Springstead told reporters. “Because their job is not to assess what the government informant wants them to do, it’s to assess the accused’s intent and what they actually planned on doing.”
Defense attorneys for the guys accused of plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan say "one of the most active leaders" was an FBI informant who "pushed" the rest of the group to engage in a "crackpot" scheme https://t.co/gtn0LooHDP
