Surprised this didn't make it into this thread. Looks like the FBI broke up a kidnapping plot that they had a hand in or encouraging the formulation.

The FBI Allegedly Used At Least 12 Informants In The Michigan Kidnapping Case

Defense attorneys said they will argue that the FBI “induced or persuaded” the defendants to go along with the violent scheme.

Looks like you're extremely gullible. It also looks like they got some big money backers for their legal defense fund.

This is the defense of last resort every time someone gets busted in a sting by the FBI.

You mean like the "Muslim extremists" that was provoked and coerced into planting a fake bomb by our government officials. You mean like that one?

No of course not, you draw special exceptions for those.

Look at you defending terrorists.

Cockroaches scurry into the depths when you shine the light on them realllll fast.

I believe the FBI could take it too far, but most of the time it's just a defense of last resort.

...can? Fucking CAN? Have you at all any real history of the last 50+ years of the number of "operations" our government "security" forces have done that are "too far"?

Lol

Lol

if you were around when the FBI was targeting black civil rights leaders, we know you would have been rooting them on. we know how you feel about black people getting that equal opportunity.

now that we are here 60 years later and your kind are trying to kidnap governors, now you have issues with the FBI catching them.

cockroach logic.

I read the first article. It is a summary of a motion filed in court by one of the defendant's attorneys. Which predictably outlines an entrapment defense.

An attorney's argument is news, but something to be viewed with healthy skepticism. I recommend waiting until more facts come out.

 

[K1052]

Personally I find it easy not to cross paths with FBI agents/informants due to not plotting violent illegal things on the internet.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Hahahahahahahahahaha aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's been revealed to be a complete FBI setup like I theorized above.

Did I tell you, or did I tell you?

Fucking BUZZFEED News is the reliable source on this one:

The FBI Says It Thwarted A Plan To Kidnap Michigan’s Governor. The Suspects Say It Was A Setup.

The Michigan kidnapping case is a major test for the Biden administration’s commitment to fighting domestic terrorism — and a crucible for the fierce ideological divisions pulling the country apart.

Before you start whipping out your dick in public I suggest a few more reputable sources otherwise you may be the victim of a lot of snickering.

The article doesn't say what you think it says. At all. Does it question how far the accused would have gone without proofing? Yes. Does it lay a definitive claim with damning evidence that the original plot originated within the fbi? Far, far from it.
The accused will argument entrapment, and it will be up to the government to defend against that.

I doubt it was read by that guy. Headlines, feels, troll.

More likely he put himself in the place of the accused, by realizing that he himself would likely go along with any plot to murder democrats. That's why he thinks it's entrapment, because he knows he couldn't resist the temptation if the opportunity presented itself.

 

[woolfe9998]

A little education on entrapment.

The key aspect of entrapment is this: Government agents do not entrap defendants simply by offering them an opportunity to commit a crime. Judges expect people to resist any ordinary temptation to violate the law. An entrapment defense arises when government agents resort to repugnant behavior such as the use of threats, harassment, fraud, or even flattery to induce defendants to commit crimes.

What Is Entrapment?

Entrapment happens when police officers coerce or induce someone into committing a crime. Proving entrapment can lead to an acquittal.

Merely presenting someone with an opportunity does not qualify.

Agreed. Entrapment is their only possible defense, so of course they'll use it. Meanwhile, the accused are enjoying three hots & a cot at taxpayers' expense. Even if found innocent, they pay a steep penalty for being complete idiots.
