Verdicts In In Gretchen Whitmer Fake "Kidnapping Plot" Trial: Two Defendants Found Not Guilty, Hung Jury On Other Two Defendants
People are waking up from The Matrix.
Below, "no verdict" means hung jury. The jury could not agree on a finding and returned no verdict. This is called a mistrial, because the trial just didn't come to any outcome. They can be retried. But, the Armed Wing of the DNC, the FBI, now knows that a lot of people now understand that the FBI routinely practices illegal entrapment to please politically-powerful patrons and create supportive headlines for whatever media disinformation operation the Democrats have going at the time. Julie Kelly's write up at AmGreatness.Defense attorneys had argued--successfully, it would appear--their clients were entrapped by the FBI; at least a dozen FBI confidential human sources and undercover agents working out of numerous FBI field offices were deeply embedded in the plot. Jonker ruled before the trial began on March 8 that defense counsel could not raise the entrapment issue until the government rested its case, but that plan was quickly scuttled when it became obvious the four defense attorneys were unable effectively to represent their clients without demonstrating the FBI's extensive involvement. To prove entrapment, the defense had to convince the jury that the government induced the criminal behavior and the defendants lacked predisposition to carry out the kidnapping conspiracy on their own.

@julie_kelly2 BREAKING: Verdicts in Whitmer "kidnapping" trial: ADAM FOX--the alleged ringleader NO VERDICT on conspiracy to kidnap BARRY CROFT: NO VERDICT DANIEL HARRIS ON KIDNAPPING NOT GUILTY
HARRIS NOT GUILTY ON GUN CHARGE BRANDON CASERTA NOT GUILTY OH MY GOD THIS IS HUGE THIS BASICALLY MEANS FBI IS GUILTY OF ENTRAPMENT
The FBI entrapped innocent men in 2020 in order to produce damaging headlines for Donald Trump while millions of Americans were voting for president. A crime bigger than Russiagate. Hi @JudiciaryGOP
The FBI-concocted "plot." Fox story here.
@julie_kelly2 After 18 months with the judge ruling in their favor on nearly every issue, the DOJ did not get a SINGLE CONVICTION in the alleged plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
Defense lawyers claim informants and undercover agents improperly influenced the men. Whitmer, a Democrat who is seeking reelection, rarely talks publicly about the case. She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case. She has said Trump was complicit in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

When half of the population has zero faith in the legal system, that's when you get dead lawyers and dead judges. Reconstruction failed despite considerably more legitimacy and moral support, and "nullification" was a major reason why.

If this happens there are two possible outcomes:
1. The FBI fails as an organization and is replaced with something else
2. The state decides that extrajudicial punishment is new SOP and the death of the Constitution is completed.
Either would be better than pretending that the FBI has any legitimacy.

The only program I can think of that even came close to accurately showing the FBI is The X-Files. There, the FBI is depicted as a deeply corrupt, hugely powerful organization that follows no rules whatsoever. Take the space aliens and monsters out of it, and it was probably pretty close.

I once dodged jury duty in a potentially weeks-long criminal trial involving attempted murder in a gangland drug war. I told the judge I would trust the word of a cop over a "gang drug dealer." Judge said "there's been no evidence he's a drug dealer." I said "just look at him." Judge threw me right the fuck off the jury. Nowadays, I'd say I would trust the word of a gang drug dealer over the FBI.

The FBI shows on CBS pull in about 7.5 to 5.8 million people. That's above average and abysmal at the same time. The shows skew to the 50+ age demo.

Yeah when I saw Die Hard, I thought that was excessively cynical... but now I think its not cynical enough. Today the FBI agents would be discussing how they set this up and it went wrong so they have to figure out a way to cut their losses and eliminate their former employees.

Ultimately I think this all tended to benefit the prosecution more than the defense. You would get experts who would come and say how finding this hair at the scene (did you?

It is hard to find, but there was a made-for-TV docudrama rapidly cranked out by NBC after the federal massacre of women and children in Waco. It came out many years later that the ATF more or less helped produce it, which presumably meant helped fund it, too. Title escapes me. None of this stuff is new but it is unraveling in such a way as to be too obvious not to notice.

I cannot remember their budget but the FBI does have an entire section that does nothing but deal with the media and work on getting positive portrayals in TV, movies, and news reports. They always have at least one "look at how noble, heroic, straight-shooting, and amazing the FBI is!" show at any given time going back to the 50s.

I think it applies with Carter, who IIRC wasn't on anybody's radar in 1976.
And thinking about it, yes on Humphrey, too, as an example of losing with a fairly well known quantity.
I was stretching things a bit to say the Democrats always *nominate* the surprise candidate. They obviously don't but it's pretty much the only way they can win.

Remember the "Hays Code", a "voluntary" censorship code? Yep, Hoover, and the rest of the Feds used that for their purposes. In '54 Congress passed a law that made it illegal to portray the FBI for "commercial purposes" without the approval of the FBI director.
How, and if that passed Consitutional muster, I don't know. But they complied.

A federal jury failed to convict four men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, whom they despised for the restrictions she ordered early in the pandemic.
Acquitted? Nah. Failed to convict. Was that on the jury report form? As in:
Choose one:
A. Guilty
B. We failed to find the scum guilty.

There is an important reason they hate for the word grooming to be used. Grooming is innate in the trans crowd - it is their recruitment tool. As soon as the Florida law passed, they immediately tried to deflect it into 'Don't say gay' so people wouldn't make the connection. The proper term is anti grooming law.

They've clearly come to the conclusion that the FBI is made up of a bunch of weasels.
And that "Not Guilty" verdicts are to be the default outcome any time an FBI agent is involved in a case because if there's one involved, he's lying his ass off.

SCIENCE!
I don't know what the suicide rates are for depression and anxiety, but there was a suicide organization that did a study on transgender suicide ~8 years ago(before the trans push began) and they found that no matter where a trans person is within the journey (e.g. pre or post op, have told no one/close friends/completely out), the suicide rate is over 40%. IIRC, it was the highest (42ish %) for those who have had the surgery and are completely out -- that is, when they should be feeling like they have finally become the person they were meant to be.
That is f#cked up, and no one should be going out of their way to put a person, especially children, into that lifestyle.
