Dixon is the best candidate possible.

The Whitmer kidnapping plot was fake news -- it was 100% hatched by the Feds as part of an entrapment scheme. Of course, the prosecutors got a more "diverse" jury (words of the freep, not me) to convict two of the suspects. The judge also did not allow the jury to see the texts (mentioned below) between the main FBI asset (hired specifically to infiltrate the group and concoct the plot) and his handlers.

Here is a good timeline of the kidnapping "plot"

Two Men Convicted in Second Whitmer Fednapping Trial › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

The defense condemned what they described as untruthful testimony by FBI agents and the key informant, Dan Chappel, an Iraq war veteran and mail hauler for the U.S. Postal Service who was hired by the FBI in March 2020 to infiltrate an online group of Second Amendment advocates also opposed to Michigan’s lockdown policies. Chappel, partnering with at least a dozen FBI informants and undercover agents, coordinated field training and surveillance excursions to lure the targets into the trap. Encrypted group chats created by Chappel fed information directly to his FBI handlers working out of the Detroit FBI Field office at the time.

Known as “Big Dan” to the government’s targets, Chappel gradually stitched the group together and specifically solicited Fox, at the time living in the dilapidated cellar of a vacuum repair shop in a Grand Rapids strip mall. During two days of testimony last week, Chappel admitted he offered Fox a credit card with a $5,000 limit at least four times and suggested Fox could use the card to purchase weaponry to execute the kidnapping scheme. (Fox refused to accept the cards.) Fox and Chappel communicated daily for nearly four months, sometimes several times a day.

The government compensated Chappel roughly $60,000 in cash and reimbursements for personal items including a laptop computer, smart watch, and new tires for his vehicle. In December 2020, two months after the caper ended, the FBI gave Chappel an envelope containing $23,540. Blanchard accused the FBI of allowing Chappel to violate FBI rules by advancing the alleged conspiracy and taking an oath as the commanding officer in an FBI-created militia.

Five FBI informants were tasked with surveilling Croft, who has been on the FBI’s radar since 2019 for “anti-government” comments on social media. During an event in Wisconsin, Jenny Plunk, the primary FBI informant assigned to Croft, shared a hotel room with her target. When the group began to splinter in late summer amid concerns over Croft’s wild talk, Plunk’s FBI handler urged her to remind the others of Croft’s value. ”Show them they were brought together by Croft and he has good ideas. Keep working to solve the differences in the group,” FBI special agent Christopher Long texted Plunk on August 10, 2020. For her services, Plunk was paid at least $8,000.

With no proposal to kidnap and assassinate Whitmer by that point, the FBI accelerated its operation by introducing another undercover FBI agent to act as an explosives expert and convince the group to purchase materials to build a bomb. Agent Timothy Bates, known as “Red,” met with the government’s targets in Michigan on September 12, 2020 where he showed a video of a vehicle blown up by an explosive device. The video was produced by the FBI.

Bates admitted during testimony last week the “case team” of FBI assets met the night before to map out plans to drive the targets to Whitmer’s remote vacation cottage on Birch Lake, the purported scene of the crime. Bates brought night vision equipment and two-way radios to hand out as props—all supplied by the FBI.

The FBI’s ‘FAFO’ Kidnapping Plot Unravels › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

And far from acting as a conduit between the alleged militia group and the FBI—the bureau’s alleged raison d’etre for hiring informants—Chappel methodically coalesced a random group of misfits angered by COVID-19 lockdowns and Black Lives Matter riots to form the gang of would-be kidnappers. The burly Iraq War vet—working for the U.S. Postal Service at the time—along with multiple FBI assets, “ingratiated” themselves, one defense attorney said, into the lives of seemingly isolated, destitute men. Some of the defendants referred to Chappel as “dad” as he used his age and military experience to assume a father-like persona. (Kaleb Franks, one of the original defendants who pleaded guilty to kidnapping, told the jury Thursday that he wanted to be killed by police in a shoot-out because “a large portion of my family had died” and he was “struggling financially and just wasn’t happy.”)

Chappel also took on another fake identity—a leader of the Wolverine Watchmen. Leveraging his imaginary leadership role for the Watchmen, Chappel acted as the “glue,” in his words, to unite the men. During two days of testimony this week, Chappel admitted he created group chats including one named “FAFO,” the acronym for “fuck around and find out,” on the encrypted app Wire and invited the defendants to join.

Chappel immediately gave the FBI direct access to the chats while deluging his targets with daily texts and calls; nearly 1,000 texts were exchanged over a three-month period between Chappel and Adam Fox, the alleged brains behind the kidnapping plot who lived alone in what one witness described as the “dark, dirty” cellar of a vacuum repair shop in a Grand Rapids strip mall with no running water, sink, or toilet.

With promises of free food and beer at nearby Buffalo Wild Wings—all paid for by the FBI—Chappel often enticed the defendants to meeting sites, training camps, and surveillance trips attended, and occasionally hosted, by multiple FBI informants and undercover agents. The FBI also paid for rented vehicles, gas, hotel rooms, and other related expenses to make sure the defendants could attend. Participants were usually drunk or stoned; during one event, Chappel admitted he drank six double Jack-and-Cokes to make it look like he was “going along” with the group. Every excursion and conversation was recorded then passed to the FBI. “Look at you, bringing people together,” Chappel’s FBI handler quipped in one text.

Chappel’s group, however, started to splinter by late summer so he asked the FBI how to “apply more pressure” to prevent anyone from bailing on the still-undefined crime-in-progress. An FBI agent separately directed a woman named Jenny, another FBI informant portrayed as the leader of a Tennessee militia, to stop the group from kicking out Barry Croft, one of the more vocal members who had been under FBI surveillance since 2019 for allegedly making “anti-government” comments on social media. “Remind them of all his good ideas,” FBI special agent Kristopher Long advised Jenny.

It worked.

But Chappel and the FBI had a bigger problem by August 2020; there was still no concrete plan to kidnap Whitmer, he told the jury this week. And time was running out for the FBI, which clearly wanted to publicize the caper before Election Day. So the agency accelerated its efforts by introducing another undercover FBI agent by the name of “Red” to act as an explosives expert who could help the men build a device to blow up a bridge near Whitmer’s cottage in upstate Michigan. At a training exercise on a weekend in September 2020, “Red” brought a video of how to make explosives and showed it to the group.

The video had been produced by the FBI.

Why do you keep posting this picture? Is there an inside joke?

It is an answer to Wiz when he posts ridiculous Hunter Biden memes to remind him that Trump's demon spawn that were actually part of Trump's administration were much worse.

And let's not forget this fucktard, either.
