A man who pleaded guilty in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said her abduction could have been the 'ignition' for a U.S. civil war involving antigovernment groups, possibly before the 2020 election.
described a scheme to get the Democratic governor during his testimony Wednesday against four former allies who are charged with conspiracy. He told jurors that they wanted to attack before the election to prevent Joe Biden from winning the presidency.
Garbin said a kidnapping would be the"ignition" for civil war"and hopefully other states or other groups would follow suit." Another man who pleaded guilty, Kaleb Franks, will also testify against Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta. "I was kind of ballparking it," Garbin said of the layout."Every house had a front door. Every house had a living room."
The airplane mechanic began cooperating with prosecutors soon after the group was arrested. Garbin was rewarded with a relatively light six-year prison sentence, a term that could be reduced after the trial.
