Exonerated Michigan Men Sue FBI for Manufacturing Whitmer Kidnap Plot

'The only terrorists in the courtroom were the government...'

Two brothers who were falsely accused of being involved in the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are suing the FBI for manufacturing the case against them.

The brothers, Michael and William Null, were found not guilty in September 2023 of aiding the 2020 alleged militia plot to kidnap Whitmer. However, they say they’ve still suffered severe harm from the case—made worse by the fact that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and many media outlets continue to attack them.

In their lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, the Null brothers described how undercover FBI agents and informants fomented the Whitmer plot.

Take FBI informant Steve Robeson for example: “Robeson was a confidential human source from October 20, 2019, until October 27, 2020. The Bureau paid him $19,328.79. That money bought the Dublin, Ohio gathering on June 6, 2020, the Cambria, Wisconsin field training on July 10–12, 2020, and pizza, moonshine, and hotel rooms in Peebles, Ohio on July 18, 2020,” the lawsuit says.

“William Null was in Dublin because Robeson put him there. Both brothers were in Wisconsin because Robeson opened that door.”

The Null brothers also recounted the financial damage they suffered, including property damage and having their construction careers derailed.

“Doors were kicked in, drywall was removed, a car was run over by the government’s mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle, MRAP, causing $18,000.00 in damage to Plaintiff’s car,” the lawsuit says. “Their business, Null Building and Remodeling, was destroyed by the brand ‘domestic terrorist.’”

Additionally, the lawsuit cites other egregious actions by the FBI, including one agent pointing a gun at Mike Null’s 13-year-old daughter, and a police officer threatening their grandpa to “put him down like a dog.”

Major the Malinois

I spoke with someone at Austin Animal Services today.

They did not have any news on the status of Major the Belgian Malinois. From what they told me, the city of Austin was going to euthanize Major in the absence of a court order enjoining them from doing so.

I have since been told that something of a mutual agreement had been reached giving another two weeks grace. I cannot confirm that, however.

For those who don’t know, Major is a Belgian Malinois who has been kept in isolation for over 500 days because the dog bit someone after it was struck by a vehicle.

The owner, who was homeless at the time, tied the injured dog to a porch while he went to get help. In the interim, some good Samaritans tried to help the dog, but the dog bit one of the good Samaritans causing relatively substantial damage to the arm.

Worth noting, the good Samaritan wanted nothing to do with the euthanizing of the dog.

The dog was his service animal.

The owner has been fighting the order to euthanize the dog. The dog has been in ...

Out for a ride with the Mrs. and kid… Came across this piece of poop. My guess is bobcat and rabbit remain.

Deep thought Movie reference

Going to try and do a daily deep thought through movie reference.

Today, day one, fight club.

I remember this line from the first time I saw the movie.

A question everyone should ask daily at every point of their lives.
