Agreed. Just about every “foiled terror plot” in the 00’s were people coerced into the action and provided instructions if not materials for carrying it out by the FBI.

It goes back much farther than that. It took a sawed off shotgun, a bunch of crispy children and a dude with a box truck to convince them to only entrap minorities.

The FBI and federal law enforcement more broadly has a long sad history of misdeeds.

The sawed off shotgun is a reference to Ruby Ridge

The crispy children is a reference to the Waco siege.

The box truck is a reference to the Oklahoma City bombing.

If you choose to research those first two terms they will lead you down a very deep and dark rabbit hole of government misdeeds. You've been warned.
