The FBI arrested six men for allegedly plotting the kidnapping of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. I know nothing about the details of this specific plot. But nowadays anytime I hear about the FBI busting yet another dramatic plot, I ignore it. Whether it's Muslims or Boogaloo-adjacent people, FBI informants have a long history of being the primary instigators and fabricators of these plots. There is an intense pressure for the bureau to crack down on terrorism, and sometimes this involves creating it.
