A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend.
Authorities with the FBI and in Michigan have offered few details about the case, however as he announced the arrests on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel said more information would be released. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday.
The first clue was the notion that the FBI is capable of stopping a terror attack. The FBI has a storied history of being completely incompetent, and I really don’t think that Kash Patel is capable of the level of leadership and rational thought required to change that.
Previously, they were at least good at entrapping poor misguided people whom they gave plans and weapons to, only to sweep them up at the last second after helping to create the situation so they could scream “We stopped a terrorist.” A terrorist they were also actually responsible for creating.
Yet I agree, I don’t think Kash Patel’s FBI is even able to do that convincingly or successfully.
Basically every ‘terror plot’ they’ve uncovered since 9/11 involved the FBI working out the plan and providing everything to the suspect, but somehow without it crossing the legal line into entrapment.
