The government's demand for examples of white supremacy and rightwing extremism is greater than the natural supply. Apparently the FBI helps create both using our tax dollars and government employees.
That's the conclusion Paul Mirengoff reaches, writing at Power Line. It appears the FBI instigated the plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, the non-FBI plotters of which were subsequently arrested and held for trial.
An argument can be made that no plot would have occurred in the absence of FBI encouragement and instigation. If this isn't unlawful, it should be.
