Can only settle for this now "On Friday, Nessel took aim at Leaf’s defense of the Null brothers.
“As Michigan’s top law enforcement official, let me make this abundantly clear—Persons who are not sworn, licensed members of a law enforcement agency cannot and should not ‘arrest’ government officials with whom they have disagreements. These comments are dangerous,” she tweeted.
But Tom Siver, who is representing the twins, claimed Friday the 38-year-old Michigan residents had been unfairly targeted in a “political vendetta” by state officials and law enforcement. He said the Nulls, who were being held in Antrim County Jail, are not “a flight risk, they aren't a danger to the community at all, an ask of a bond of a million dollars is punishing them before their trial.”
“At this point, we believe this is a political vendetta by the governor’s office and the AG's office. If they believe this was true they would give us dates and times and they were delayed in taking action,” Siver told UpNorthLive on Friday.
The high bond, however, may be tied to the severity of the allegations. Prosecutors argue the Wolverine Watchmen plotted a violent attack on Whitmer and sought to incite a civil war this summer, with plans to kidnap other elected officials."
