Chameleon: The Michigan Plot investigates one of the most important FBI domestic terrorist cases in decades.
From Sony Music and Campside Media, the podcast delves into the notorious plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Hosted by journalists Ken Bensinger and Jessica Garrison, Chameleon: The Michigan Plot is based on more than three years of reporting, plus hundreds of hours of never-before-heard audio where an FBI informant infiltrates the Wolverine Watchmen, a militia that prosecutors charge was determined to kidnap, and maybe even kill a sitting governor.
Bensinger and Garrison go deep in search of answers to the burning question at the core of the case: were the 14 men accused of participating in the conspiracy really masterminds of a credible domestic terrorist plot or just a group of hyped-up stoners that talked too much?
“In a time of deep polarisation, the Whitmer case has come to symbolize many of the stark divisions in America,” said Ken Bensinger. “The Michigan Plot gives listeners access to evidence no jury was ever allowed to hear and lets them come to their own conclusions about the government’s case.”
