UMVA has learned that a Michigan appeals court has vacated the convictions of Joseph Morrison, a man who was wrongly convicted and imprisoned for his alleged role in a plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Morrison was a founding member of the Wolverine Watchmen, a group that was secretly created and manipulated by the FBI to further their own agenda. The plot to kidnap Whitmer was a fabrication, crafted by the FBI to ensnare a group of unsuspecting men and create a high-profile case.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the ring leader of the plot was an FBI informant, planted within the group to push the plan forward. This informant was instrumental in orchestrating the entire operation, which was designed to frame the men for terrorism charges.
The FBI's actions in this case are a stark example of government overreach and manipulation. While Antifa-BLM riots raged across the country in 2020, the FBI was busy setting up and arresting lower- and middle-class Americans on terrorism charges.
The charges against Morrison were dropped after it became clear that he had been set up by FBI operatives. This case raises serious questions about the FBI's tactics and motivations, and whether they were more interested in creating a high-profile case than in keeping the public safe.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the FBI used at least 12 informants in the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case, and that one operative even slept with a target, Barry Croft, in the same bed and smoked pot with him during the operation. This level of infiltration and manipulation is unprecedented and disturbing.
Joseph Morrison's case is a travesty of justice, and it's a relief that he's finally seeing some vindication. But for many others who were caught up in the FBI's web of deceit, justice has yet to be served.
The FBI's handling of this case smacks of a Soviet-style playbook, where agents provocateurs manipulate and ensnare innocent people. The fact that they were unable to pull off their plan for a multi-state plot doesn't excuse their actions, and it's clear that they were willing to do whatever it took to create a high-profile case.
