Back when this hit the news, someone on this forum started a thread about this topic, but I can't find. IIRC, Barbara had started the thread, but I'm not sure.
Anyhow, I stated in that thread that it sounded like an entrapment job from the beginning.
I also commented that Federal agents strung a guy along in Missouri, and then had to shoot and kill him because he was loading up explosives to blow up a nursing home. The only other person that knew of his intentions was in constant contact with the Feds.
It looks like I was right about the Governor Whitman plot.

Oddly enough, he was anti-Trump.
