I think I tried to raise it a few times (before Jan 6) and there was NO sympathy among fellow conservatives who generally backed the FBI despite the entrapment for terror offences
Hannity was/is a big lover of the FBI for example and generally conservatives 'back the blue'
But is that changing now after Whitmer and Jan 6?
I think it could be...
Some Freepers now tell me the FBI should be shut down or made to become just a national lab of some kind and that’s it...
The FBI is a joke for investigators. They have to frame people for crimes because they suck at finding real criminals.
They were doing this in the 60s and 70s.
An example was a small group that wasn’t violent but an aggressive new member kept pushing the bombing idea on them and took over leadership, was also the only one who knew how to go about finding explosives, and he was also the one to plan the bombing and run the operation.
I have often thought that entrapment was legally weird. And I don’t understand how entrapment cases hold up in court. It seems like it’s a bit of the rip-off used cars salesman routine, you fool somebody into buying something that they probably wouldn’t buy if they had all the information and then they’re stuck with a used car in the FBI cases they’re called with Federal sentencing.
I’m certain there are instances where entrapment might be a good thing just to get somebody off the street that is really doing a lot of legal damage and has impacted numerous victims.
But entrapment for entrapment’s sake I think could probably fall under a type of causative “victim of circumstances” - but I’m no legal scholar.
Why don't you ask Kevin McCarthy and his stable of RINOs that question.

It’s the new “Underground Railroad.” FBI works underground, civilians get railroaded.
I was stationed in Japan on the mainland and was in the barracks catching up on the news back in the States.
I sat... dumbfounded... as I watched Waco burn. What was I serving? What was I fighting for? Is THIS the government I swore to uphold orders from?
Since then... My opinion has only gotten worse. The FBI and BATFE are wholly criminal organization operating so far outside any possible Constitutional mandate that there can be no “fixing” of these agencies.
I've spoken about this many times. .gov has been doing this for years, the so called right never cared as long as it wasn't their boys.
The so called right is the best at building government to destroy. They had no problem creating DHS and doing other nonsense to create the prison we live in. You can never trust a republican or democrat. Nobody funds the police state better than republicans.
