Funny that the President is responsible for each and every program that either you do not like or goes wrong but does not deserve the credit for any action or program that goes right. When bin Laden was killed there were many who claimed that the government did nothing, it was all the Seals that did it. If the Seals had hit the wrong compound then that would have been Obama's fault.


I wonder how many child porn customers they could have caught with pictures of kittens instead. What is next, drug buyers buying drugs from undercover officers or buyers of stolen goods buying stolen goods from a government agency.

But, if you want to know who actually approved this sting, one would have to start with those who oversee the programs. Congress.
Back when America wasn't an embarrassment, leadership meant that the person at the top took responsibility. Neither Republicans or Democrats do that now.

Congress provides oversight and funding, it doesn't set the FBI's agenda. I suppose indirectly the oversight committees should have exposed this to the public, but the legislative branch doesn't manage the operations of any executive agency.

Tell me Satan doesn't pull Obama and Hillay's strings. Just look at the filth in the Democratic Party. Pro abortion, anti family, gay is good and of course anti-Christian.

What good is catching them if you just have to let them go?

Exactly the point. The courts are throwing out the cases so the end result is simply that the FBI distributed child porn. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so horrible.

Are not the judges who try them elected and therefore why is that also Obama's fault? Was he the only one who voted for any of them?


For a country that leads the developed world in the number of people in jail and the length of sentences none of you seem satisfied that not enough are put in jail and for long enough. One out of four people in a jail in the world are in America.

No matter how you do it, whether it is throwing out bait or trolling those forums trying to find them, I'm guessing it's a terrible depressing job. You may feel occasional happiness in catching someone but otherwise, very depressing. Didn't they say they had to create a case on that Jared guy that took five years? They should get some sort of battle pay for such a horrible job.

I agree with you there. This has to be a soul crushing assignment.
