[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all know that the FBI does infiltrate terrorist operations, right? There were a few in the recent plot to kidnap Gov Whitmer. They pretend they're one of them and encourage criminal activity. We don't know that the FBI did that on Jan 6 but they've been warning up that white supremacists are the biggest threat we face as a nation for a couple of years now. It would be a dereliction of duty if they weren't present with all the warning signs they had in advance. [/quote]

Precisely the issue.[/quote]
Nope. The “unindicted co-conspirator“ in the Thomas Caldwell indictment is his own wife. It’s not antifa, it’s not BLM, and it’s not the FBI.

And the FBI doesn't just infiltrate random groups and "encourage criminal activity."  They infiltrate groups that are already engaged in criminal activity.[/quote]

Oh, for sure. And they encourage the activity and take an active role in it. [/quote]

That's incorrect.  They identify EXISTING criminal behavior and EXISTING intent to commit crime and only get close enough to it to get evidence to convict those involved.[/quote]

I wish I were as naive as you. We KNOW that they often encourage, incite and even pay money for criminal behavior.

“But take a closer look and you realize that many of these people would never have committed a crime if not for law enforcement encouraging, pressuring, and sometimes paying them to commit terrorist acts.”

"The FBI often targeted particularly vulnerable people, including those with intellectual and mental disabilities and the indigent. The government, often acting through informants, then actively developed the plot, persuading and sometimes pressuring the targets to participate, and provided the resources to carry it out."

Here's a story of what happened with the plot to kidnap Gov Whitmer last year:
