While I'm less sympathetic to entrapment claims when the target is enlisted in the military, this case is pretty egregious.
On Dec. 13, the 2 undercover agents convinced Said to record an ISIS propaganda video. Said actually suspected them of being feds, so he put AirTags in their car. The undercover agents then confronted him about it and asked if he was getting "cold feet."
They then bought Said a ticket to Turkey, but he never showed up!
Two months later, they finally convinced him to attack the military base. It looks like one of the undercover FBI agents was a female who seduced this guy. He told "him/her" that he loved "him/her" right before he went to carry out the plan.

Look at how Said and UCE-2 talk to each other. UCE-2 surely was a female, right? Image

Palm Beach County Sheriffs arrested someone who was in touch with Rupnow for years. Seems likely that this was the "boyfriend" who provided a journalist with Rupnow's manifesto.
The two were so close that police think they had a "conspiracy" to commit mass shootings.

This is a wild one

Allen purportedly came onto the FBI's radar after Rupnow's shooting, when agents found her phone. Agents found videos of Allen posing as a police officer. Allen was apparently so convincing that the FBI thought he really WAS a cop!
Allen had all the authentic gear, including an apparent police laptop. Law enforcement still doesn't know how he got their authentic uniform.

According to local reports, Allen also had "an FBI uniform, an Army Ranger outfit, Marine Corps dress blues, a ballistic vest, helmets, and fake federal and military ID badges."Image

Interesting that the doc shows footage of the NSM while discussing O9A. I'm not aware of any explicit NSM-O9A link, but NSM was co-founded by an FBI informant and the husband of an avowed, LaVey-style Satanist.

Bill White, the main source of my Fed Files series, said he left the NSM due to Satanic infiltration, making startling allegations. When I asked NSM co-founder Cliff Herrington (who must be in his 80s by now) about this, he surprisingly confirmed his wife’s Satanic connections

In light of today's monumental ruling that exonerates three Whitmer kidnap defendants, let's look at the key points of the case.
The Null brothers and Eric Molitor had quite an uphill battle, starting with the AG's office spreading lies about them during pretrial proceedings.
🧵 1. A judge presiding over the case bungled basic facts by issuing a ruling that declared @brandon_caserta and Daniel Harris as kidnap conspirators -- despite the fact that they were found innocent last year.

In August 2020, an FBI undercover agent code-named “Red” unsuccessfully tried to foment a plot to assassinate Colorado’s AG. The next month, an FBI undercover agent with the same code-name and physical description appeared in the Whitmer plot...
