Actually, 4 men were charged and none of them were "leaders" of the plot. The leaders of the plot and the majority of the conspiracy were made up of FBI agents. Said agents created the plot and them went out and targeted right-wing 2nd amendment types to try to get them to join their plot.
AP news story. And these were people who protested the excessive CoVid lockdowns in Michigan. And this "planned insurrection" mirrors rather nicely Fed involvement in the January 6th "insurrection".
Left-wing "protesters can do anything they like".. including tracking down and attacking journalists. Look up the Andy Ngo incident where he exposed members of AntiFa who committed crimes and tweeted about them and they tracked him down and beat him senseless. The criminal action against these thugs was dismissed because the Judge said Ngo caused the incident by reporting on them.
So Ngo tried a civil suit and very recently that failed despite admissions of guilt by the defendants because the AntiFa lawyer, wearing an "I Am AntiFa" tee shirt during her summation, told the jury that she would "remember all their faces".. and they came back with a not-guilty (or not responsible or whatever it is for civil trials) result for her.
When you search for "news" on this you'll see the leftist media refer to Andy Ngo as "Troll" in the headlines.
This is Hitlerian false flag and brownshirt tactics being blessed by the courts and MSM. Nothing less.
