DOVER, Del. — The Delaware man charged in federal court with conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has a long criminal history and was pardoned just last year by Delaware’s governor for crimes dating to 1994, according to state records. Barry G. Croft Jr., 44, was taken into custody this week after being arrested by the FBI in Swedesboro, New Jersey. Croft made an initial appearance before a federal magistrate in Wilmington on Thursday. Croft was being held Friday at a state prison in Wilmington. A hearing on his continued detention and removal to Michigan is scheduled for Tuesday.

Notice how nobody seems to really care about this story? A few reports here and there, but certainly not front page news. Tells me a lot about the governor and the story.

Sounds like this guy was pretty dangerous committing a crime with a firearm yet he received a democrat pardon. I see no excuse for the pardon that there was any kind of injustice to this guy. The left has no excuse for not enforcing laws on the book. Seems michigan dems made the bed they laid in in this case.

Poster #2, it was a big story until it came out the ring-leader, in a video, ranted about how much he hated President Trump. Now, not so much.

Why no photo of the guy? They're out there. This is Biden's state.

Six jerks without any funding and a half baked plot get scooped up instantly by the FBI, while dozens and dozens of well funded leftist terrorists under the antifa banner riot, burn and destroy for months with NOTHING done about their leaders, their funding, etc.
What an amazing coincidence.
NOT!
The FBI under Wray is still doing their seditious NeverTrump work. Let the leftist terrorists run free, make headlines with a sad sack nothing burger of a "plot" like this so that Gov. Whitless can blame it on Trump - even though these guys have explicitly said that they hate the President.

22 minutes after the FBI presentation Joe Biden announced his support for the re-election of the Governor of Delaware.
All three of these people ~ the Governor, Biden and the chief kidnapper ARE FROM Delaware, a small state, and likely knew each other ~ certainly the Governor knew the kidnapper.
It is inescapable that this was nothing more than just another Democrat HOAX designed to embarrass Donald Trump just before the election ~ an October Surprise!
This also demonstrates the shallowness of Democrat thinking. The Democrats who plotted this deal actually imagined the crowd their agent could gather around him were going to be typical DJT supporters.
It's pretty much along the same line of thinking BLM had that if you burn down a city they will come around to your point of view. Just another one of those things that leads so many of us to believe that AntiFA, BLM and even MS13 are branches of the DNC!

Everyone knows that it was a put up job, because everyone knows that no one would pay ransom for Grinch Whitmer.

So sad. The democrats really really wanted these six guys to be Trump supporters, only to find out that the Left has owned them for years. Regardless, many Michigan citizens are wishing that Whitmer was gone, by whatever means, so the entire plot falls flat.

When you don't keep psychopath predators locked up, the rest of us get what you deserve.

An old, old story ~ corrupt Governor pardons dangerous criminal to do hit jobs on political opponents, or even troublesome politicians within his own party.
Biden didn't come out in support of the Delaware Governor until AFTER the FBI announced it's story about the supposed kidnap attempt planned on Michigan's Democrat governor.
Lot of quid pro quos in this one..... doncha' know ~..... ~ a Biden specialty!
Northam in Virginia, also supposedly targeted, is a similar problem for the Biden campaign.
Frankly, there are probably OTHER plans afoot by the far left groups supporting Biden's candidacy that we just don't know about. But no Democrat politician in America dares to cross those people!
