The alleged conspirators staked out Whitmer& #39;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">https://static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6...

The alleged conspirators discussed paying $4,000 for explosives to blow up a bridge leading to the governor& #39;s home. They were prepared to pay for some equipment as recently as yesterday. https://static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6277a242e0af889ec06f7e4a12/michiganaffidavit.pdf">https://static.politico.com/e5/1d/aa6...
