Report Reveals Trump Looking At Pardons In Michigan Case

Let’s take a little trip down the rabbit hole of federal “justice,” shall we? Because when President Donald J. Trump hinted at potentially pardoning two of the men convicted in the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, the media did what it does best: lost its mind. But before we jump into the pearl-clutching over “defending domestic terrorists,” maybe it’s worth revisiting what really happened here—or more accurately, what was done here.

So here we have Barry Croft and Adam Fox, two guys who apparently had big, dumb, beer-fueled dreams of kidnapping a governor. Was it idiotic? Absolutely. Were they dangerous masterminds? That’s… generously debatable. What makes this whole thing stink to high heaven is the FBI’s creative involvement. You know, the same FBI that’s somehow always waist-deep in controversy when there’s a political angle? Shocking, I know.

Here’s the thing that the blue-check brigade conveniently forgets: this case didn’t come wrapped in a neat little bow. The first trial collapsed in a mistrial. That’s not because everyone in the jury suddenly forgot how to read. It’s because even they couldn’t ignore the messiness. Two of the alleged conspirators were acquitted—not because the defense had some miracle lawyer, but because the jury saw right through the FBI’s little “sting operation.” Which, by the way, looked a whole lot more like entrapment than law enforcement.

Let’s talk about these “confidential human sources.” These weren’t upstanding operatives with clean records and noble intentions. They were puffing weed with the suspects—a federal crime last time I checked—and one even shared a hotel room with one of the guys she was supposed to be “monitoring.” What was that? Undercover work or a vacation fling on the taxpayer’s dime? Either way, it reeks of ethical slop.

And how about the FBI agent actually directing the informant to keep the alleged conspirators together? Because, you know, the group was falling apart and couldn’t stay organized on their own. That little intervention wasn’t just a nudge—it was the government playing puppet master, ensuring there was a plot to prosecute. If the whole thing falls apart without the feds stepping in to glue it back together, maybe it was never really a plot in the first place.

Trump didn’t promise a pardon—he said he’d look into it. And the reaction? Nuclear meltdown. Meanwhile, we’ve got a sitting president who can barely get through a sentence without a teleprompter and a Justice Department that’s more concerned with political optics than, you know, actual justice. Funny how that works.

Now, look—nobody is saying plotting to kidnap a governor is OK. But if the FBI is manufacturing a conspiracy just to get a win and make a press release, we’ve got a problem bigger than Barry and Adam. We’re supposed to be better than banana republics where law enforcement rigs the game, not playacting them with federal funds.

So yes, let Trump take a look. That’s literally his job. If it turns out these guys were set up, or goaded into something they otherwise wouldn’t have pulled off without Uncle Sam’s undercover agents fueling the fire, then a pardon isn’t just reasonable—it’s necessary. Because if the law only works for one side of the aisle, then it’s not law. It’s politics in a cheap Halloween costume. And the American people are tired of being played.
