The Bee, or Not the Bee

I’m not sure where I insinuated that Whitmer was seconds away from being kidnapped, or seriously hurt or killed. I said she was in danger. I said there were credible threats against her and they resulted in conspiracy, and other, charges against those involved. That’s in conjunction with the armed protestors casually strolling through the Michigan Capitol, which I also thought was dangerous, as I mentioned. She was governing in an environment where armed protestors were opposing her at the capitol, and there was an active plot to kidnap her. Imminent danger, ‘seconds away‘ from imminent danger, are conditions you have introduced, not me... the purpose apparently to downplay the ‘courage’ she had to find in order to do her job. You’re basically saying it’s no big deal for her because these guys are idiots, the cops were onto them, and they didn’t execute the plan.

I don’t think they charged the people in a conspiracy to kidnap Northam because there wasn’t evidence to support those charges beyond a discussion of Northam as a potential target. They didn’t conduct surveillance of his vacation property on two separate occasions, as an example.
