| The plot, however, (was) foiled following a federal investigation that involved paid undercover informants

That makes me slightly suspicious as to the veracity of the charges against them

| The last one was a major embarrassment for the federal government as it ended with the vindication of all the defendants

| In the end, the judge concluded, there was not proof of a real plot to overthrow the government or kill police, but people engaging in tough talk

Sounds much more likely than an actual plan to start a civil war by kidnapping a governor and killing police.
