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

    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.

        Ah, got it, thanks. I didn’t catch that you were referring specifically to their use of technology for entrapment. Good point.
