I get he is not publicly for the mandates…but the issue I have is underneath it all…tons of people have been mandated under White Hat control. Also, they know they gave mandate deadlines. The Supreme Court is giving oral arguments after most deadlines. They want us vaccinated for some reason. Still trying to understand, but I know they have more info than we the people. Just wish we could get the truth on the whole virus, vaccines, mandates etc.
Such a sad story of what they have been through. Will be praying for you all. Thank you President Trump and Melania.
Five accused in Michigan governor kidnap plot seek case dismissal, say they were the ones entrapped

Five men indicted for allegedly planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last year are now claiming that they are the entrapped ones, and want their cases dismissed.
Defense attorneys for the five – Adam Fox, 38; Barry Croft, 46; Kaleb Franks, 27; Daniel Harris, 24, and Brandon Caserta, 33 – filed a 20-page motion on Saturday alleging that FBI agents and federal prosecutors invented a conspiracy and entrapped the five. A sixth man, 26-year-old Ty Garbin, is already serving a six-year federal prison sentence after pleading guilty.
Those six were charged with conspiracy to kidnap the governor, a federal crime that could land them in prison for life. They were among 13 originally arrested; another seven face a series of state felony charges, including providing material support for terrorist acts, carrying or possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony, and gang membership. Most of the accused were tied to right-wing extremist groups.
Defense attorneys for the five are accusing federal agents and informants of “egregious overreaching” in their quest to avert the danger to the governor, the motion said, according to The Associated Press.
They want U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker to dismiss the conspiracy charge. That would scuttle the federal government’s case and potentially influence other connected charges, The Detroit News reported.
The suspects were arrested last October after a months-long investigation that began almost as soon as Whitmer ordered strict lockdown measures to try and curb the spread of coronavirus as the pandemic set in. The 13 allegedly planned to storm the state Capitol armed with Molotov cocktails, take her hostage and even potentially kill her, state and federal prosecutors said at the time.
In April of this year, Croft, Fox and Harris were additionally charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction because they allegedly planned to bomb a highway bridge near Whitmer’s vacation home to divert police attention and resources while the group attacked the governor in one of her vacation homes, federal prosecutors alleged.
The defense attorneys’ request comes after developments and claims about the government’s prosecutorial team. Richard Trask, an FBI special agent arrested on a domestic violence charge and later fired and convicted of a misdemeanor, AP said. Further, the FBI dropped informant Stephen Robeson after he was caught caught illegally possessing a sniper rifle, The Detroit News reported.
“Essentially, the evidence here demonstrates egregious overreaching by the government’s agents, and by the informants those agents handled,” defense attorneys wrote in their filing, implying a lack of credibility on the part of investigators. “When the government was faced with evidence showing that the defendants had no interest in a kidnapping plot, it refused to accept failure and continued to push its plan.”
But the feds are holding fast.
“Months before any of them began suggesting it in pretrial motions, Garbin testified that (Barry) Croft and (Adam) Fox were the ringleaders of the plot, and that he and the other conspirators joined it willfully,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler wrote in an earlier filing, according to The Detroit News.
