Musleh case reminds me of Mohamud, where we learned years of stuff prior to admitted CI not included in complaint @Susan_Hennessey

providing controlled opportunity for crime seems more like reasonable tool.

some FBI schemes go beyond mere "opportunity for crime", applying coercion and $$$ incentive. Those are truble

I never saw criticism of tactic to be wholesale rejection, either. If done properly, hard to see objection.

Given OR that may be changing (have to review UT complaint) but CIs w/right wing extremists tends to work
@Susan_Hennessey -
Perhaps FBI better at navigating those subcultures, more nuanced approach to discerning "true" extreamism.

Perhaps. But also pressures to not miss not as great. No one holds FBI responsible for not CIing Dylan Roof.
