1 year agoAsking in case I’m wrong: isn’t it only entrapment if the defendant wouldn’t have pursued the illegal action without the law enforcement playing a part? We can’t be sure from the details given, but by my understanding this would not qualify for entrapment if the accused sought out a contact with the Islamic State, but was funneled to the FBI agent instead, and they already expressed intent to join.
This isnt a bad start, at least.
