“…with right-wing commentators…”

This, right here, is prima fascia proof of the leftward bias of our news media.

Have you *ever* heard them refer to a “left wing” commentator?

The only time I have ever heard one of our MSM outlets refer to a “left wing” at all, it was a story about an airplane.

Neo: thanks for the link and excerpt on the entrapment defense. They make it all sound so clean and logical and susceptible to proof. All you have to do is show you had no “predisposition” to do the bad thing; and that the government “induced” you. Such fine words! But the minute you start thinking about the evidence you would need to establish –out of a hazy mass of he-said and she-said (all rigged by the government from the get-go to produce the desired scalp)– you realize what an uphill climb it is. Every word you said to the instigator (and every failure to object) will be carefully fitted into the mosaic of culpability. Every attempt to show the instigator’s bad faith and compromised status, will be met with objections that you are blackening the good name of an honest witness. Etc etc.

Horrible stuff.

Does the FBI not have enough crimes to investigate? Do they have too much time on their hands?

Thank you Neo for the explanation. I’d hoped that was how it worked but feared that it didn’t. But then again they can just lie about what they did too. Testi-lying works and is rarely punished as Scott spoke of above.

geoffb: If I'm not mistaken, once a person becomes an FBI informant - especially a paid informant - that person is subject to the entrapment rules because the person has become a person acting under the direction of law enforcement (see this). Problem is, entrapment is hard to prove, and the burden is on the defendant.

“[T]hat entrapment can only occur with a government official, such as an FBI official or a police officer, not a private individual.”

And that is why the FBI uses non-FBI, just FBI directed, people to do the actual entrapment. The informant will be the one that proposes and entreats the targets to do the illegal act.
