This isn't the only article out on this really weird story. Looks like most of the 'extremist group' were actually FBI informants.

The group accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Whitmer was riddled with FBI informants who took leading roles, according to BuzzFeed

The anti-government extremist group accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had been infiltrated by at least a dozen FBI informants — some of whom took leading roles in the scheme, BuzzFeed News reported.

At least 12 confidential FBI informants assisted the investigation into the extremist group accused of conspiring to kidnap the Democratic governor, according to the news outlet's report.

An examination of the case by BuzzFeed revealed that "some of those informants, acting under the direction of the FBI, played a far larger role than has previously been reported."

Another conspiracy theory quietly becoming less of a theory after certain people are out of office.

I seriously laughed at people that suggested that this was largely planned and orchestrated by the FBI.

Now it looks like they may have been right.

Starting to wonder what the FBI's role in the Jan 6 protests were.

They've moved past entrapment to just committing the crimes themselves when they can't talk anyone into doing it.

One need look no further than the FBI informant system in 70s-90s in the Northeast mafia/crime setting and can tell that they let their informants get away with murder...literally.

Yeah they infiltrated the group then took it down from inside. Pretty standard practice for the FBI

They infiltrated the group and then created the scheme via informant/plant that ultimately led to the group being taken down.

But-for the FBI intrusion, that group of idiots would never have done anything grandiose.

Listen to the podcast “chameleon”. The second season is about corrupt FBI agents using these same tactics. This is not an isolated case.

The only thing that shocks me is Buzzfeed reporting it.

If the FBI guys are the only ones taking “material steps” toward anything, how is there a conspiracy by the people who get busted?

With this information in mind, go back to every post-9/11 allegedly “thwarted” domestic terrorist attack involving one or two lone Muslim men

It looks like not only did they infiltrate it, they took significant roles in it and even went as far as to suggest and help plan the event.
