Well begin with the growing political fallout from alleged terrorist plot to violently overthrow the Michigan State government.

It took und operatives, confidential informants and dozens of recordings, investigators say this is a plot in the planning stages since about june.

They used Operational Security measures including communicating by encrypted messaging platforms and used code words and phrases. Reporter prosecutors say the group eventually decided to kidnap whitmer at herve case home, even going so far as to conduct surveillance there.
