Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. were members of the paramilitary organization Three Percenters and also planned to use an explosive device to trigger “the 2nd American Revolution”
Two men accused of conspiring to spark “the second American Revolution” beginning with the kidnapping of Michigan’s governor were found guilty by a jury today. Gretchen Whitmer.
This decision is a victory for the US government, as this was the second attempt to try them. Four months ago, a federal judge in Grand Rapids declared a mistrial in the same case against Adam Fox, 39, and Barry Croft Jr., 46. Two other defendants were acquitted in the first trial.
Fox and Croft J., who according to the government were members of the paramilitary organization Three Percenters, were also found guilty of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, an explosive device that prosecutors said would have prevented security forces from responding to the kidnapping. Croft was also found guilty of possession of an explosive device.
Both could be sentenced to life in prison.
The two men planned to kidnap the governor and bring her to “trial” in hopes of igniting an open conflict in the US ahead of the November 2020 presidential election. “They wanted to start the second Civil War and the second American Revolution” , the assistant district attorney told the court Nils Kessler. “They didn’t just want to kidnap her. They wanted to execute her.”
A total of 13 people were arrested in October 2020 for the Gretchen Whitmore kidnapping plot as well. Seven have been prosecuted at the state level and the rest at the federal level.
