Attorney General William Barr insisted in July that he was unaware of violent threats against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, even as the FBI was working to investigate a kidnapping plot against her.

The FBI broke up what agents described as a violent plot to kidnap Whitmer and put her on “trial” for treason ahead of the Nov. 3 election, which the bureau had been investigating since spring, reported The Detroit News.

“Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor,” an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit. “The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message.”

Two of the suspects charged Thursday gathered in June with 13 other individuals from various states in Dublin, Ohio, for a meeting that was recorded by a paid FBI informant.

That bastard isn't aware of much, is he? If he indeed didn't know, the FBI probably didn't trust him to back them up. He probably would've told them to stand down. Can't upset Dear Leader's base, after all.

1. He probably orchestrated it!

[obamanut2012]

15. hahahhahahahaha

It wouldn't surprise me if true!

[OneBro]

2. This was also my first thought.

"If he indeed didn't know, the FBI probably didn't trust him to back them up. He probably would've told them to stand down."

[malaise]

3. He can choose - impeachment or Covid - this shit is over

PHEW!

[barbtries]

4. has barr been seen or heard from in the past week?

is he sick? maybe that's why the FBI was able to go ahead and thwart this plot. it would make sense if he caught the covid along with everyone else, but i haven't seen anything.

14. I heard

Giuliani say on a Good Morning America interview that Barr was positive. Now - we know that they are all damn liars, but he DID say it and the video is out there.

he says it at about :047

[PSPS]

18. He's not referring to Barr. He says "Bill" meaning Bill Stepien, trumps latest campaign manager

[barbtries]

19. thank you.

along with Christie, he'd be a candidate for serious disease.

[Sneederbunk]

5. FBI probably wise to keep Barr out of the loop.

[Boogiemack]

8. EXACTLY!!

Barr will be working hard to see if there is a way to suspend the arrests and charges based on some kind of technicality.

[TheRealNorth]

17. That would be my guess

[Wounded Bear]

20. GMTA...my first thought also...

Wouldn't trust Barr at all with a sensitive investigation like this.

[spanone]

6. BULLSHIT.

[RazzleCat]

7. Gee Bill, if you had no idea then I guess

your agents no longer trust you, why would that be the case. The other option is you don't pay attention, or you were aware and thought it was a valid endeavor (well the last one is a problem with your base now, so can't do that).

9. Barr is complicit

The #IPOTUS is the de facto head of a terrorist organization, and Barr is his consigliere.
This isn't conspiracy theories anymore, it is being proven by the Michigan arrests and Barr's silence on the matter.
Where's Barr in all this? Probably ginning up some garbage to throw at Obama, Clinton, and Biden.

In light of the absurdly ridiculous and unhinged comments by the #IPOTUS in the last 24 hours, it is high time for Barr to step up and disavow himself from this nonsense. If he doesn't he remains complicit.

[Boogiemack]

10. Hmm. Seems like our Intel community is smart enough to keep both Trump and Barr out of

the security loop. They are both a clear and present danger to the safety and security of American citizens.

[Amaryllis]

22. SAme thing i was thinking.

[bluestarone]

11. I'm betting that SOMEWHERE

HIS name will show up!!!

[WyattKansas]

12. Yet he always has detailed knowledge of exactly what tRUMP wants done without...

Taking direct orders from tRUMP to help his friends and target his opponents.

Bill Barr to U.S. Law is as useless as tits on a boar hog. And Bill Barr does look like an ugly fattened boar hog.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. Hell, if ya dig deep enough, he is probably behind it.

[Le Roi de Pot]

16. You have to treat every Trump administration member as a crook until proven innocent

[Wounded Bear]

21. Good way to look at it...nt
