I'll wait for more reporting from credible sources on these subjects.

Until then, historically it'd be safest to assume that is just yet another FBI entrapment scheme of a low IQ or otherwise vulnerable individual done to boost the profile of these agents and the FBI more generally, which is their MO.

    I don't trust anything that comes out of this administration.

    The FBI has done this under every administration post 9/11.

    But yes, this version of the FBI has managed to be even less trustworthy.

    Haven't they done this since their founding?

    I'm talking specifically about their strategy of using technology to target and entrap disaffected low IQ males, radicalize them, and then swoop in to "prevent" their supposed acts of terrorism.

    The FBI's sins our too many to count, but I'm talking about this one specific post 9/11 phenomena.
