A top prosecutor in the case centered on an alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer withdrew from the matter days after two defendants were acquitted.
A mistrial was declared for two others when a jury could not reach a decision.
Fox News reports:
In a Tuesday court filing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Roth informed the court that he was stepping down from the case, local WZZM reported. He and his office declined to provide a reason.
Roth had delivered the opening statement in the case against Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris, and Brandon Caserta. In that statement, he alleged that the four defendants recruited others in a plot to break into the governor’s home, tie her up, and abduct her.
On April 8, the jury announced that they had found Harris and Caserta not guilty, but they could not reach a verdict for Fox or Croft. While federal prosecutors indicated that they were interested in pursuing a second trial for Fox and Croft, they have yet to file a notice with the court.
Prosecutors said the defendants channeled their anger over strict lockdown measures imposed by the governor’s office into a plot to kidnap Whitmer.
Defense lawyers claimed informants and undercover agents improperly influenced the men. Federal prosecutors countered the argument with evidence that the men discussed abducting Whitmer before the FBI sting began and that they went beyond talk. They scouted Whitmer’s summer home and tested explosives, they said.
Prosecutor should not have taken the case in the first place.
I’m from Michigan… trust me… we couldn’t pay someone to take her.
I’m from MI too, can’t stand her!
Also forgot to say; she’s just another Granholm. Matter of fact my husband & I keep calling Whitmer, Granholm. You need to feel sorry for us Michigan people. But then most the state of Michigan are democrats. I need to move to Texas!
And yes I am a woman, Sam’s name is shorten, lol
After this and other illegal activity by the FBI, how can anyone convict someone by the the word of the FBI.
STAY, LEAVE, SIT DOWN, GO BACK TO THE BASEMENT, WTF? THE EASTER BUNNY LIE STOPPER, HOW MANY THINGS CAN THEY KEEP BIDEN AWAY FROM? CHILDREN? HAIR?, THE EASTER BUNNY LIE STOPPER, ,REPORTERS?, UKRAINE?, SOUTHERN BORDER? MENTAL TESTING?, THE TRUTH?, ICE CREAM?, HIS YEARS AS A COLLEGE PROFESSOR?, ANY ONE OF FIFTY “BS” STORIES THAT ARE JUST NOT TRUE? More corruption, the disgraced biden clan, a story of personal family greed, disloyalty to America, lies with no honour, false oaths taken, complete hatred of American ways, our American ideals, with direction towards the destruction of America, with their American last policy. How can so much money be taken from Americas adversaries without our country’s positions being compromise or influenced by foreign dirty money? Time for full investigations, the guilty be put on trail, for any disloyalty taken, money falsely taken, lying to Congress, have them return too tax payor’s money received under illegal’s methods or dishonest ways. Those who have violated our country’s laws must be prosecuted, put in jail and made to return all money taken in from their dishonesty. Vote them out of office and keep them out, they are driven by personal greed only.
Will the same happen in the Jan 6 defendants cases? If the demoralrats EVER ALLOW them to get out and have a day in court!!
FJB FKH
So…my comment had to be “approved?” Sounds a whole lot like censorship to me.
The FBI has been corrupt since day one!
Typical of the FBI, they are totally political and corrupt from the lowest field agents all the way to the top. How else could anyone think otherwise, this BS has been going on for years and they lie to Congress and FISA but no one gets punished. Corruption at its best, FBI, CIA and DOJ, in addition the politicians of both parties.
We know how Comey,McCabe,Mueller,Rosenstink,Wray, corrupted the FBI, how could anyone believe a word they say? They are the criminals, who set up others for their spare time, and allow mass shootings to happen, with people they know about.They orchistated the kidnapping plot of incompetent witmar, that’s why the others will be exonerated,too,because they were set up.Pathetic!
She needs to be Kidnapped and removed from office before Michigan fall into the Great lakes and disappears. She is the woman governor who most closely reminds me of Andrew Cuomo. Both are losers to the nth degree. Hes gone, now its her turn. Michiganites its time to send this ignorant fool the unemployment line!!
Next the Jan. 6, 2021 fiasco where many innocent Americans have been Jailed without being afforded minimum Due Process rights under the US Constitution will be found to be one of the worst abuses of the Civil Rights of American Citizens ever recorded. Predictably, the former respected FBI will again be embarrassed. These Agencies need a big shakeup for starters.
But if you kidnap her you’ve got to feed her? What will the kidnappers do with this witch? Id rather have a pet 🙂
Yeah, at least if you got a pet you could get a cute one.
I’m surprised by the number of agents that go along with the deep state scams. You’d think there’d be more Americans in the department.
The FBI has been compromised, along with most of the rest of our national law enforcement agencies.
