Defendants claiming that the FBI set them up.
An examination of the case by BuzzFeed News also reveals that some of those informants, acting under the direction of the FBI, played a far larger role than has previously been reported. Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises questions as to whether there would have even been a conspiracy without them.
A longtime government informant from Wisconsin, for example, helped organize a series of meetings around the country where many of the alleged plotters first met one another and the earliest notions of a plan took root, some of those people say. The Wisconsin informant even paid for some hotel rooms and food as an incentive to get people to come.

That sounds just like something a child would do when they break something. Put it back together as best you can, and then when your brother touches it and it falls apart, place the blame on them.SDHornet wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:12 am12 FBI informants.

Other way around. My brothers favorite was when we would play Monopoly and I was too young to read. They would tell me how I won money for landing on a property, or simply won the property, only to later tell me once I had built up a ridiculous amount of properties and cash that I was subsequently robbed and lost it all to the two of them!UNI88 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:57 amYou broke a lot of sh!t and blamed your brother?SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:38 am

Winged Foot Golf Club in the northern suburbs of New York City is one of the most prestigious country clubs in the U.S. Membership is by invitation only, the waiting list is as long as a decade, and when people do get in, they reportedly pay $200,000 just for the initiation fee. It was the site of last year's U.S. Open tournament.
Now it has become the latest battlefront in the wars over former President Donald Trump, who has been a member of the club for more than 50 years.
Some members of Winged Foot who want to honor Trump have made quiet plans for a fancy tribute banquet at the club on Aug. 4. And that has provoked outrage from other members who think such an honor is inappropriate and are trying to get the banquet canceled. So far, they have not succeeded.
