They do a lot of tactically ascertaining thing. It’s adorable.

    I have to wonder how much of this was pushed by the FBI just to have a case to pursue

        Let's say you're the state and you don't like that she declared unconstitutional emergency powers for covid, so you set up an op with a bunch of obviously incompetent people to kill her as an option. A court later declares her powers unconstitutional and removes them so now your terrorist cell you set up as an option is no longer needed. You then arrest everyone in the op and charge them.

        Larp-ish enough not to carry it out by themselves without the push that's needed, but dangerous enough to easily let loose whenever they want to remove the leash.

        Bit conspiracy-ish but not impossible in my opinion.

            I think the specific local field office in Detroit/Michigan may be more sympathetic to anti-white supremacist type operations than many other field offices. I believe i remember them doing something else against the right wing recently too...

      Definitely was the case but since it’s all white guys it probably took a little convincing.

      From the thread it looks like the FBI might've encouraged the whole bomb-making plan, since that involves doing something illegal well before anybody gets hurt.
