Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 could hinge on whether the prosecution can show they were likely to commit the crime even without the encouragement and logistical support provided by government informants,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Defense attorneys are expected to argue that the government entrapped the four men by orchestrating the plot and goading them to join.”
