Roles of F.B.I. and Informants Muddle the Michigan Governor Kidnapping Case

Neil MacFarquhar - Yesterday 9:11 PM

 

a rainy night in northern Michigan in September 2020, a group of armed men divided among three cars surveyed the landscape around the vacation cottage of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, considering how to kidnap her as payback for her Covid-19 lockdown measures.

 

Two men descended from the lead car to inspect a bridge on Route 31 in nearby Elk Rapids, assessing what was needed to blow it up to delay any police response to the house on nearby Birch Lake.

 

Later, after team members returned to the rural camp where they had already conducted military-style training exercises, a man identified as ā€œBig Danā€ in government documents asked the assembled group, ā€œEverybody down with whatā€™s going on?ā€ Another man responded, ā€œIf you are not down with the thought of kidnapping, donā€™t sit here.ā€

Of the dozen men on that nighttime surveillance mission, four of them including ā€œBig Danā€ were either government informants or undercover F.B.I. agents, according to court documents.

 

The events of that night will be a key element when, on March 8, five men charged with plotting to abduct the Democratic governor from her vacation cottage will go on trial in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids, Mich.

 

The trial is being closely watched as one of the most significant recent domestic terrorism cases, a test of Washingtonā€™s commitment in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to pursue far-right groups who seek to kindle a violent, anti-government insurgency or even a new civil war.

ā€˜No need to panicā€™ says Kiev as US embassy sends staff home

Americans safer in Kiev than in Los Angeles, Ukrainian official tells media

After the US and UK embassies in Kiev began advising non-essential staff and dependents to leave, the Ukrainian government explained that there was no need for hysteria and that a Russian ā€œinvasionā€ did not look imminent at all, and allegedly intimated that Americans might be safer in Kiev than Los Angeles.

 

ā€œThere is no reason for panic,ā€ said President Volodymyr Zelensky after the meeting of Ukraineā€™s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on Monday.

 

ā€œThe key message is not to panic,ā€ said Prime Minister Denis Shmygal said.

 

ā€œI ask everyone to be calm,ā€ said the councilā€™s secretary, Alexey Danilov, adding that Kiev sees no basis for claims of an impending all-out invasion.

 

There hasnā€™t been an ā€œactive departureā€ of foreign diplomats from Ukraine, as only three embThe US and UK governments have confirmed theyā€™ve advised their ā€œnon-essentialā€ staff and dependents to leave Kiev, but said this did not amount to an ā€œevacuation.ā€ The distinction apparently failed to reassure the Ukrainians, BuzzFeed reported on Monday, citing an anonymous official close to Zelensky.

 

ā€œThe fact that the US was the first one to announce this is extremely disappointing,ā€ the source is quoted as saying, adding that ā€œquite frankly these Americans are safer in Kiev than they are in Los Angeles ā€¦ or any other crime-ridden city in the US.ā€

 

Evacuating embassy personnel is a ā€œprematureā€ step and ā€œan instance of excessive caution,ā€ a spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said on Twitter.

 

Danilov sought to downplay the threat of a ā€œRussian invasionā€ in an interview with the BBC published on Monday, noting there are ā€œdomestic political eventsā€ in the West that might have contributed to the current situation.

 

The number of Russian troops near the border is ā€œnot increasingā€ and they have maneuvers there ā€œall the time,ā€ Danilov pointed out.

 

ā€œThis is their territory, they have the right to move left and right there. Is it unpleasant for us? Yes, itā€™s unpleasant, but itā€™s not news to us. If this is news to someone in the West, I apologize,ā€ he said.

 

Danilov did say he was ā€œpleasedā€ that the West has acted by sending Ukraine weapons and other ā€œpractical assistanceā€ as the result of this ā€œgeopolitical process,ā€ but noted that the hype about an impending Russian invasion began after the Washington Post ā€œdid not take into accountā€ what he actually said in an interview in late October.assies are evacuating some of their staff, Danilov said.
