Ken Silva joined Scott to discuss the recent acquittal of three men tied up in the FBI-created plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer. Silva gives some background on who these men are and how they fit into the overall plot. That leads to a broader discussion about the many terrorist schemes the FBI has concocted using informants planted in fringe groups from all sides of the political spectrum. They then talk about a story Silva has been digging into about an FBI informant who created one of the main Nazi groups active in the U.S. today. 

Discussed on the show:

• The Alphabet Boys – Trevor Aaronson podcast
• Video from the acquittal
• “How an FBI Informant Created One of Largest Nazi Groups in U.S. History” (Libertarian Institute)

Ken Silva has been a reporter for more than 10 years, working in places such as the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and the United States. Follow him on Twitter @JD_Cashless
