Prosecutor Rests in Gov. Whitmer Kidnap Case After Undercover FBI Agent Recalls Secret Trip to Her House
mlive | 8/18/22 | John AgarGRAND RAPIDS, MI – The prosecution rested Thursday, Aug. 18 in the trial of two men accused of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The prosecution rested after testimony from an undercover FBI agent with supposed access to explosives.
…
Special agent Tim Bates, [[Get it?]] known as “Red,” said he joined alleged conspirators – in three vehicles [[How he accomplished that we’ll never know…]] — in a night-time reconnaissance mission in September 2020 to the governor’s place in Elk Rapids.
…
He said that those in another vehicle drove by the governor’s house but had the wrong street number and could not find it during that trip.
Being lost on your mission is a pretty good indication you have an FBI agent in your midst.

Notorious Greek Restaurant Scams Another Couple $557 for Drinks, Oysters
New York Post | August 8, 2022 | Ben CostLess than a week after Canadian tourists were allegedly overcharged nearly $600 by Greece’s notorious DK Oyster, the restaurant is going viral for yet another incident of alleged epicurean extortion. This time, the Mykonos-based eatery allegedly charged a US couple a wallet-sapping $510 for a dozen oysters and four drinks.
“My husband was like, ‘There’s got to be a mistake,” New Jersey lawyer Theodora McCormick, 50, told the Sun of the alleged “weird experience,” which occurred last month while she and her husband were vacationing on the Mediterranean island.
Unfortunately, their idyllic seaside getaway went south after they stopped by the seafood depot for a drink. The adventurer said they were looking for a cab back to their hotel when they spotted a sign outside DK Oyster explaining taxis could be hailed from inside.
This lawyer married one shrewd guy.
The article’s author: Ben Cost. Heh.
The restaurant is a “Mykonos-based eatery”? Is it on Mykonos or isn’t it? Verbose, Ben Cost.
“Allegedly” charged? Please investigate before printing. If the restaurant didn’t charge them this, then the whole article becomes tissue paper.
