After the state Supreme Court struck down a law that she used to impose restrictions during the COVID, the man described as the leader of the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. asked when the lynching would happen.

The first phase of testimony by a key government witness in the trial of four men came to a close. Defense attorneys took over the questioning of Dan Chappel, who was challenged about what he said and did during months of covert work for the FBI.

Chappel, an Army veteran who hauls mail, was an Informant who secretly recorded hours of conversations and participated in chat groups. He said he was part of the training for the abduction of Whitmer.

Prosecutors say the four were antigovernment extremists who wanted to grab the Democratic governor at her vacation home in northern Michigan in order to retaliate for the sweeping orders during the Pandemic.

The assistant U.S. Attorney introduced messages written after the Michigan Supreme Court case.

She should be arrested immediately. Who would like to roll out?

The men were arrested by the FBI as they tried to get an explosives to use in a kidnapping.

They are charged with conspiracy. Chappel told jurors last week that some of the people who plotted to blow up the bridge went to see the property of the man.

The four men were influenced by the agents. Christopher Gibbons pursued that theme as he cross-examined Chappel on the smallest details.

Chappel acknowledged that he provided Fox with paper and pen to draw a map. He provided transportation for the August 2020 trip after paying for lunch at a diner where the map was drawn.

Gibbons pointed out that Chappel wanted to shoot a gun and mailing the bullets to the lady.

Chappel said he could have been kicked out of the group if he appeared soft.

Chappel said that he wanted to continue dialogue with Fox. I am an average guy with someone who wants to kill the governor. I had no instructions. Every day was different.

Chappel admitted that he put his nickname on a Confederate flag at a training site where the group practiced storming a house. He believed he needed to do what the others wanted, despite the flag representing hate.

The two men who pleaded guilty to the kidnapping scheme will testify for the government.

Over the last few years, she referred to the case as "something out of fiction" when she filed for reelection last week.

She blamed Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronaviruses restrictions and for not condemning right-wing extremists like those charged in the case. Trump has been accused of being involved in the Capitol riot.
