The Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plot was an [[FBI]] sting operation coordinated as an [[October Surprise]] to affect the outcome of the 2020 general elections in the [[United States]].  The intent was to generate fear about alleged "rightwing" movements in the United States and smear [[conservative]] voters and candidates as "anti-government extremists."  The plot was conceived, coordinated, led by, and executed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The plot involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI.
