Men Acquitted in Whitmer Kidnap Plot Trial Speak Out

Three of the men found not guilty on all charges after being accused of providing support for a plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan spoke out last Friday at a Washington Day Dinner hosted by the Grand New Party PAC

The men - Eric Molitor, Michael Null and William Null - were all found not guilty by a Michigan jury in September 2023. Over a third of those charged in the plot were ultimately found not guilty, while nine others were convicted “Everything about this case was corrupt from the beginning. The FBI lied on the stand for seven days” Bill Null said at the event, speaking on the case and trial in which a jury in Antrim County, Michigan acquitted him, his brother Michael, and Eric Molitor of all charges

Just got assaulted attempting to cover an anti-eviction march in Detroit this afternoon. A member of the protest ‘security’ ran up, grabbed my camera and forced me against a building #Detroit #DetroitProtests A man wearing an Antifa pin committed the first assault during the march. Camera stopped a few times while he attempted to steal it. Eventually, others in the group urged him aside to release me from against the building. #Detroit #Antifa #DetroitProtests

Many have asked me about this photo, and why I was out there in Kenosha in front of that gunman filming with no body armor or protection. It’s true, I’ve been going out to these scenes with little to no protection due to lack of funds. These things are not easy to cover- (thread) Image I’ve lost close to $5000 over the last 2 months across multiple coverages. Robbed by a group of 6 masked men w/ guns in Portland for my equipment last month, car windows smashed & additional equipment stolen in Kenosha. Between that & just getting out to these scenes, big deficit

I am LIVID at Instagram & Facebook. They refuse to take down copyrighted content stolen from me, often reposted to verified accounts like @SaintHoax and @BandManKevo, who apparently can’t come up with their own content and have to keep jacking mine ImageImageImageImage Every one of these videos is an original that I filmed and posted to Twitter. At no point did any of these accounts reach out to ask permission or try to give credit. They stole & reposted as their own with no shame.
