2 more idiots invited to prison

This "Trump Revolution" is sure taking the ignorant rural white trash off the street....

Tuesday, jurors in a second trial found the two remaining defendants guilty, providing a measure of vindication to federal law enforcement in a case filled with public setbacks.

Prosecutors described the men, Barry Croft and Adam Fox, as threats to democracy who planned to capture Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home in 2020 and instigate a national rebellion. They told jurors how the men went on “reconnaissance missions” to the home, how they accumulated high-powered guns and how they discussed blowing up a bridge to prevent the police from responding to the kidnapping.

The case was seen as indicative of the rising threat of political violence and right-wing domestic terrorism, even before the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But proving the charges in Michigan meant persuading jurors to trust a sprawling F.B.I. investigation that included several undercover federal operatives.

Although I believe the jury reached the proper decision, the judge's handling of a couple controversial matters that arose worries me. I think there's a chance an appeal could succeed, thereby necessitating yet another retrial.

Edit - upon reading about the info unsealed by the judge this evening, I now feel better. I think the chances for successful appeal are quite slim now.

In the words of Drew & Mike: "Seeee ya biiiitch."

When people started getting accused of plotting to abduct Whitmer, most were in agreement that it was just "bar talk" and the accused were not prosecuted.

Reading what Freak started this thread with, it appears this lovely couple went over and beyond bar talk. Does anyone know if these two were part of the first group?

Check out the guy on the right in the two mug shots Freak posted. Reminds me of that picture of the mutant twins some of you would post a couple years ago when you were talking about Bidet.
