During a Trump rally at Van Andel Arena, Eric Molitor, a victim in the purported FBI scheme to abduct Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer, spoke out for the first time.
In an interview with Real America’s Voice reporter Ben Bergquam, Molitor alleged that the FBI had orchestrated the entire plot and deceived individuals into getting involved.
“The FBI set everything up. They drove people, they paid for everything. They wrote the script,” Molitor said. He alleged that Governor Whitmer herself decided the best time for the operation in collaboration with the FBI and state police.
“Governor Whitmer herself opened her scheduling book and decided with the FBI and state police when to be the best time for the daytime ride, the nighttime ride. Then they duped people into it. We even have proof of them telling people, ‘Get as many people in the trucks as possible, and don’t tell them what you’re doing until they’re already on the road.’ It was 100% set up. Governor Whitmer, if they can do it to nobody like me, they will come after everybody else,” Molitor added.
Molitor was one of the individuals involved in the conspiracy to abduct Governor Whitmer, a story that garnered widespread attention across the country last year.
He maintained that he had been deceived into taking part in what he thought was a civil defense force operation targeting Antifa and BLM in his community.
Ben Bergquam: Let me ask your part in this without getting… I don’t know if you’re still going through the legal battles on it.
Eric Molitor: I quit it, man. I quit it. This is one of those things. She’s still out there pushing this as if it was a legitimate thing that there was a kidnap plot against her that she set up with the FBI.
Ben Bergquam: Walk me through what actually happened that night.
Eric Molitor: Oh, my gosh, man. I didn’t go on what’s known as the nighttime Ride. I was duped into the daytime ride, and Oh, my gosh. Again, there’s so much that goes into it. Anyways, I had set up a civil defense force for my area in Wexford, Cadillac City, because Antifa and BLM were coming up there.
Through this process, I had met Adam Fox, who lived down here in Grand Rapids, actually. After a while, he got me a job in private security, which was really awesome. I thought that stuff was really cool. He actually is a good guy, by the way. The FBI, the government has lied about this man who’s still in prison.
Anyways, he got a hold of me and asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. I asked, “Yeah, what do you have in mind?” I’m thinking it’s this good stuff that we got going on.
Nothing was said about the Governor or anything like that. Anyways, him and Dan Chappel, the original FBI informant there, another lying person right there, he came up to pick me up, him and Adam Fox. We get all the way up to Elk Rapids, which was an hour away from my house. Nothing was talked about. It was a truck with three men. We talked about women, alcohol, guns, like Americans do.
Anyways, we get up to Elk Rapids, and they said, ‘Her cottage.’ I’m still not putting it together. I’m thinking maybe the Antifa BLM is trying to hold up it at a private residence instead of doing these hotels and motels that we heard about.
Ben Bergquam: You guys were more doing security or what?
Eric Molitor: I was. I thought that we were. When we got up there, and I’m already in a truck with people 100 miles away from my house, then they started talking about Whitmer’s Cottage, and right there, dude, my heart sunk. I didn’t know if I was going to make out of that situation alive. I had no idea what was going on.
After the incident, Molitor was taken into custody during a family gathering, where law enforcement reportedly aimed guns at his children.
He is now facing charges of providing material support for terrorism due to a video he was requested to record during a car ride, as well as felony firearms charges for carrying his sidearm.
Regarding his legal situation, Molitor stated that he has decided to stop resisting it. He expressed frustration with Governor Whitmer’s continued portrayal of the alleged plot as a genuine threat against her life.
Molitor concluded the interview by urging citizens to reach out to their representatives and establish civic groups in their communities.
He stressed the importance of comprehending how the system operates and actively holding it accountable.
“If they can do it to nobody like me, they will come after everybody else,” Molitor warned.
WATCH:
In the previous year, twin brothers William and Michael Null were found not guilty by a jury in Antrim County, Michigan, of charges related to providing material support for a terrorist act and illegally possessing firearms.
The three men had been potentially facing a maximum of 20 years in prison for the accused offenses. Upon hearing the verdict, Eric Molitor wept openly in the courtroom.
A group of paid FBI informants devised, financed, and carried out the entire scheme. They were the ones who actively promoted violent plans to abduct Whitmer, setting up the entire operation.
In October 2020, the FBI held a press conference to announce that they had foiled a plot by a self-proclaimed “right-wing militia” to abduct and assassinate Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The media extensively covered the Whitmer kidnapping plot, using it as a tool to attack Trump in the final weeks leading up to Election Day.
At least 12 informants were employed by the FBI in connection with the Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case.
In August, the case, which was found to primarily involve FBI agents and informants, suffered another significant blow.
Michael Hills, attorney for Brandon Caserta, one of the six defendants, presented text messages revealing an FBI field agent instructing an informant to fabricate evidence against an innocent individual and delete incriminating messages.
Additionally, a female FBI agent confessed during her testimony that she shared a hotel room and bed with Barry Croft, the target of the FBI’s investigation. S
he even admitted to smoking marijuana with him and stated that sometimes informants had to go along with certain actions.
Ultimately, out of the 14 initially accused individuals, nine were either convicted or pleaded guilty while five were acquitted.

If the FBI had not sullied it’s name so badly they might be more believable. Almost any claim now has some credibility with our citizens. Clean your act up FBI and you might regain some trust.
