Power corrupts. Anyone who tells you different is trying to gain or keep power over you. Very well put. Lord Acton was absolutely right; one of life's universal truths. The extended version of his famous quote on the corrupting influence of power is timeless, and perhaps more relevant than ever today.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."Paul

These federal agencies are run exactly like a Mafia. In fact, they so closely resemble strong-armed Organized Crime as to be utterly indistinguishable from it in any way.

I knew a bunch of mob guys and I will say this. if there was a group they were connected with raping young girls like epsteins operation they would have killed them all. so to me the mafia is above the FBI who the mob guys called F- orever B- othering I- talians (never the jewish russian mafia)

. Do Sicilians run their empire with the waste inefficiency and incompetence found in LE ? the mob didn't get to be what it is by being a special needs sheltered workshop.

That write up was substantially devoid of anything to support the thesis statement. From the article: "The FBI’s method? Place agents among the target group, stoke their sentiments, and lead them to say or do something that could be characterized as a crime, then arrest them and claim credit for foiling a plot. In intelligence lingo, that is provocation. In legal terms, it’s entrapment. By whatever name, this is the work of cheap, dirty cops." That comment was made about their routine practices, not about the case at hand.

You think there are not one or more FBI infiltrators/monitors posting here?
At the very least, there are algorithms on constant watch for key words and phrases.
Be careful what you post...and where another poster may lead you. Yes, certain key words and or phrases are "fished out". They need to know whos door to knock on first during first signs of unrest. If you do not cause problems, mind your own business and pay your fair share nobody is going to bother you. On the other hand if you belong to certain militia groups or associate with radicalized individuals......

You believe in the fabricated tales of Jesus? and of the screwball Joo conspiracy..

My standard answer to any question asked by a Federal LEO in the future has become, “Lawyer.”
A pity it’s come to this, but they’ve brought it on themselves.

What would General Flynn say about this, I wonder?
