I've noticed this since 9/11. It's been in the news for at least 10 years. Here's an old Guardian article:


Fake terror plots, paid informants: the tactics of FBI 'entrapment' questioned

This article is more than 9 years old
Critics say bureau is running a sting operation across America, targeting vulnerable people by luring them into fake terror plots
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...e-terror-plots


Now Tucker is saying they have used the same tactic against Trump supporters. I bet he's right.

You are working for the FBI, so you’re not charged with a crime. It’s also, by the way, scary, given the current climate, given that January 6th is now being used as a pretext to strip law-abiding Americans of their most basic civil liberties. So given that, we have an absolute right to know exactly what happened that day, and the FBI’s role in it. We believe the FBI had people on the ground, people who stormed the Capitol and committed crimes while inside. We said that. The FBI has not denied it. In fact, no one from the FBI has even commented on it. They don’t have to. This time, they’ve got CNN squarely on their side.

Nothing should surprise us anymore when it comes to government agencies. How many times has the FBI known of a deranged man that later went on a shooting spree?



The FBI does like to dangle the carrot in front of would be criminals just daring them to grab it and then they make the arrest.



I don't think we should be surprised if the Biden admin can start getting after guns that the law abiding will be set up and taken down by the FBI and the ATF etc..



I agree that Tucker is probably right.

I don't think they had a role but I definitely think they knew it was going to happen and sat back and just waited.

I wouldn't be surprised either if they had informants encouraging people to act in ways they might not have otherwise.

I do think thought there are people who are far too nieve and ignorant about what law enforcement can do and I do think they need to smarten up and get educated.

the FBI made them do it? okay

I would “maybe” believe this if the people were masked and didn’t show their faces and tweet their ignorance in real time.

How long has Tucker known and did he complain when they were setting up Arabs in the US?

If he didn't care then I would like to know why. He has been in the industry long enough for this stuff to pass by his desk, did he care at all then?

Most everyone used to trust the FBI. But after it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Comey went after a sitting President with a fake dossier, that opened everyone’s eyes to the possibility that this type of thing could’ve been going on since the Hoover days.

He went into this last night. Brought up a case or two where the FBI did indeed manipulate a situation.

The government knew that a mass of people were coming to the Capital. More protection was requested but liberals denied that request, likely because they wanted a moment like happened.

Hoover was known for keeping files on certain American citizens.
