From Reuters, “A federal jury on Friday acquitted two men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 and was deadlocked on the same charges for two other men. The men were charged in a plot prosecutors say had been inspired by their fierce opposition to pandemic-related restrictions that her office imposed. … The defense argued that the government used FBI informants and undercover agents to encourage the online discussions, hoping to entrap the defendants in alleged crimes because of their political views, they said. The acquittals come despite key testimony from Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, two others who were charged in the alleged plot before striking plea deals with prosecutors. Garbin is currently serving a six-year sentence, while Franks is awaiting sentencing.”
I am a broken record when I say this, but it is incomprehensible that there are no convictions in this case. There is not much to say besides America is dying, and here is but one more datum of proof! The political system has failed, and now the legal system has failed. The average citizen (juror) apparently feels that attempting to kidnap and murder the governor of Michigan is just fine. There is no other conclusion given the evidence and the witnesses in this case. And do not believe anyone who claimed the government entrapped them. That argument is always B.S., but it seems this jury of morons or traitor sympathizers believed the defense’s story. Oh, well. This is not surprising. Americans want this; there is no other explanation for the current state of the union except that people want to live in a lawless, dysfunctional country. Welcome to stupid America! Stupid people everywhere, everywhere stupid people.
