The alleged conspirators staked out Whitmer's vacation home on Aug 29 and in mid-Sept.

They planned to grab her — if not kill her outright — in October and hold a "trial" for "treason."

The allegations, supported by extensive evidence, are harrowing. https://static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6277a242e0af889ec06f7e4a12/michiganaffidavit.pdf
