8/13/21 Ken Bensinger on the Role of FBI Informants in the Michigan Kidnapping Plot
Scott talks to Ken Bensinger of Buzzfeed News about the role of FBI informants in the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Bensinger explains that informants played a heavy role in the militia group involved and helped motivate members to take violent action. Although none of the fifteen arrested was assisting the government, informants helped provide the group with training, were present for surveillance of Whitmer’s property and were present during the storming of the Michigan Capitol on April 30th. Overall, Bensinger has trouble seeing how these events would have happened without the presence of government informants.
Discussed on the show:
- “Watching The Watchmen” (Buzzfeed News)
- “The Day Shall Come” (IMDb)
