Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. They were angered by Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, which shut down schools and restricted the economy, investigators said in court filings.
Funding is not a defensible position.
“Hey we’re gonna go do some illegal shit, wanna join? We just need more people.”
If they go out to do it, they committed a crime.
