The post 9/11 history of FBI anti-terrorism arrests against Muslims they deemed radical in this country often stunk to high heaven of entrapment. As accurately described by CAIR, the Counsel on American Islamic Relations, “In the trial of the Newburgh Four, a group of Muslim men were lured by an informant bearing expensive gifts into plotting to blow up synagogues in the Bronx, NY and shoot down a military jet. One of the defendants, Laguerre Payen, who suffered from schizophrenia, was repeatedly disruptive during his trial and engaged the judge in a rambling dialogue about his conviction at the time of his sentencing.
“In another case, Ahmad Ferhani, unemployed and in and out of mental institutions for many years, was convicted of plotting to blow up synagogues after being approached by an informant linked to the New York City Police Department.”
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her Democratic allies blamed Trump for the alleged kidnapping plot against her, in an Oct. 7 joint press conference involving the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan and the Michigan Attorney General. Six people were charged federally for the claimed kidnapping conspiracy; seven others were charged with state crimes. The group involved is the Wolverine Watchmen, a brand new group on the Michigan militia scene unknown to people familiar with local groups.
