Breaking: 2 convicted of Whitmer kidnapping plot.

[edbermac]

A federal jury on Tuesday found two men guilty of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.

Adam Fox and Barry Croft face a maximum sentence of life in prison for the kidnapping conspiracy conviction. They were also convicted of one count of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.

Their first trial ended in a mistrial.

Yeah!!

1. Why was the first trial a mistrial?

One holdout?

[underpants]

4. Consider where the jury is selected from

Pretty hardcore MAGA country. Even the Sherriff was scared of these guys (and wanted to be re-elected).

[underpants]

8. Yep

The men were judged by a second, more diverse jury than in the first trial, which ended with no convictions for the government. Two men were acquitted in that trial and the jury deadlocked on charges against Fox and Croft Jr., triggering a mistrial that prompted the government to try again.

50. Trumpers on the jury would be my guest. I guess the prosecutor figured out

how to weed them out.

3. YES!!

I was concerned about this verdict. Thank goodness justice won out.

5. Great to see

This was not just people goofing off, they had a detailed plan, had done recon, and were well underway with their plot.

Pure thugs, pro Trump terorrists!

6. Beautiful

Throw the book at them.

Oh, and vote Whitmer if you're in Michigan.

7. Now there's a sentence I like!

[ShazzieB]

13. I just hope they get the max.

Life in prison sounds just right for these dickweeds.

[William769]

15. They get the MAX and do in MAX.

[William769]

16. Dupe?

[ShazzieB]

25. Oops, yes. Will delete this one.

[Aristus]

9. Gonna find out what it feels like to be confined somewhere very unpleasant against your will.

Who knows? Might even generate a little empathy for the suffering you planned to inflict on Governor Whitmer.

Lying flat on the floor. Lincoln wouldn’t know he was in water.

55. Aristus..................

I was thinking the same thing.....YIKES!

[ShazzieB]

10. Yay!

Glad to hear it!

11. It is great news when our justice system works.

[llmart]

12. This news makes my day!

These sorry excuses for human beings need to be locked up for life, and I hope this set an example and maybe some of the hard core Michigan nutjobs will think twice about their sorry-assed lives, though I highly doubt it. Let's not forget who stoked the fires of hatred towards Governor Whitmer. Anyone else remember that orange criminal's targeting her during the Covid shutdowns? I do.

[malaise]

17. Excellent

Enough of this MAGA shit

[H2O Man]

38. We need to

flush them out of society.

[malaise]

40. They seem quite willing to flush themselves out

but we should give them all the help they need 😀😀

[H2O Man]

42. Not down one

of those toilets that Trump bravely attacked for requiring seven flushes to get a classified document down, either. More of an out house is needed.

[malaise]

43. Hehehhe

Sounds good to me

[dalton99a]

18. Kick

[DENVERPOPS]

23. IF

and it is a big IF these two are sentenced, they will find a home as Martyrs to Trump's Cause in any prison. They will immediately become idols in the prison's white supremacist gang.

The next pictures we will see after their imprisonment will show them with shaved heads, White Power Tattoos over their entire body..

[H2O Man]

39. They will be sentenced.

That always comes after a guilty verdict. No chance of them not being sentenced.

[lonely bird]

28. I've seen burned out light bulbs

That seem brighter than those two.

failed as a defense.

22. No more free dumb for them

Free shitty food maybe.

24. It's important they were made an example ...

unlike many of the January 6th insurrectionists.

29. Good

[Evolve Dammit]

30. Good news. Now for a loooong time your Honor. If TFG gets back in, first to be pardoned??

[UTUSN]

31. K&R for, hear hear!

[IronLionZion]

32. Liars on the right keep claiming they were all undercover FBI agents

so apparently not if 2 of them were convicted.

Either way, someone will make excuses as to why kidnapping and WMDs are not terrorism.

[gademocrat7]

33. Justice served

[orthoclad]

36. I'll celebrate after

I see what the sentences are. Lots of terrorist pressure for light sentences, now that we're past jury nullification.

[H2O Man]

37. Recommended.

[CanonRay]

41. Excellent

[leftyladyfrommo]

47. They should have gotten extra time for looking dumb.

They don't look real bright. Course what they did was really dumb.

[WestMichRad]

49. Yay, yay, put 'em away!

[crickets]

51. Good! To the hoosegow they go. nt
