"Chappel is a 35-year-old Army veteran... He found 'Wolverine Watchmen' group via a suggested group on Facebook. He says he was looking for a pro 2nd amendment group to join. Wanted to train to keep skills."
"Chappel: "I became concerned with the group the first day I download the Wire app." Big Dan says he became quickly concerned that the group was training to target & kill law enforcement officers. "
"When asked if he considered himself the leader of the group, Chappel said no. Prosecutor: Who did you consider the leader? Chappel: Adam Fox"
"Chappel says the group attended a Black Lives Matter protest at one point with the intention of engaging police in a gun fight if they began pepper spraying or attacking protesters. Says the Wolverine Watchmen were not white supremacists. "
The above quotes obtained from Michael Martin Twitter. Link here:
I listened to court proceedings today. The Governments CHS, or 'Confidential Human Source' "Big' Dan Chappel was on the stand. Cross exam, by Fox's attorney.
He was paid $$$, and wore a wire constantly.
He testified that the group were not white supremacists.
He said that he told FBI handlers that he was worried that members of the Wolverine Watchmen,( he was acting as a lead member) were getting ready for violence outside the Michigan Capital in Lansing in April of 2020. Through his wearing of the wire, he alerted the FBI, and shortly thereafter, the State Police at the Capital in Michigan
let the protesters in.!!!! ( Under direction of the FBI ) Some of the protesters were armed!
(Where have I heard this before? I am experiencing a bit of deja-vu here...)
The court is finished for today, Chappel will return tomorrow, and cross exam will continue.
