Federal prosecutors told a judge Monday that a life prison sentence is justified for the leader of a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, saying his goal was to turn the U.S. upside down in 2020.
“If our elected leaders must live in fear, our representative government suffers. A plan to kidnap and harm the governor of Michigan is not only a threat to the officeholder but to democracy itself,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler wrote.
Adam Fox “fanatically embraced the cause and persistently pushed his recruits to action,” Kessler said. The court filing in Grand Rapids, Michigan, came a week before U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker is scheduled to sentence Fox for conspiracy crimes.Fox’s attorney hadn’t filed a sentencing memo yet. At trial, Christopher Gibbons portrayed him as hapless and virtually homeless, a man with a loud, vile mouth who was living in the basement of a Grand Rapids-area vacuum shop.
