Co-defendant Adam Fox on Tuesday was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his involvement in the faux plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
In August Barry Croft and Adam Fox were found guilty on conspiracy to kidnap and guilty on possession of weapon of mass destruction in a second trial after they were released in April due to a hung jury.
Defendants Adam Fox and Barry Croft faced a trial for the second time over the summer.
In late August both Adam Fox and Barry Croft were found guilty on all charges related to an attempt to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
CNBC reported:
A man convicted of playing a key role in the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was sentenced to 19 1/2 years in prison Wednesday, more than what was meted out to a co-defendant.
Fox was sentenced to 192 months in prison on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker, setting the stage for Croft’s fate and sentence of 235 months.
“I do think of Mr. Croft as the more seriously culpable … more so than even Mr. Fox,” Jonker said. “I think he was the person who gave Mr. Fox something to grab on to.
Here’s the backstory:
In an October 2020 press conference, the FBI announced it had thwarted a plot by a so-called “right-wing militia” to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The Whitmer kidnapping plot was in the media 24/7 and used to bludgeon Trump with just a few weeks to go until Election Day.
The FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case.
The FBI planned the Whitmer attack, organized the attack, paid for the attack, and recruited local men to join in their planned attack.
Michael Hills, an attorney for Brandon Caserta, one of the six defendants, produced text messages showing an FBI field agent telling an informant to lie, frame an innocent man and delete text messages.
This is why federal prosecutors are refusing to hand over text messages and laptops from FBI informants in the Whitmer kidnapping case. The FBI actually hatched the plot. paid for the plot, ran the plot, and set up the innocent men in their immoral scheme.
The faux Whitmer kidnapping plot was just one of the many ways the FBI interfered in the 2020 election.
