****Typical FBI handler, informant, sting, entrapment type operation.****
If were an FBI that was on the right side of the law and not the corrupt organization that we know it is, it would be easier to believe it to be a sting.
I think they may have really made the attempt.
Hard to say and we will probably never know.
Afterwards, when the facts come out, a simple "oops, we missed the timing by >< this much."
Pulse nightclub, with the added aspect of setting up the operation.
IIRC, there is another hit where the FBI followed the shooter to the scene, then left. I think this was a Texas/Mohammed Cartoon shooting, interrupted and limited by an armed citizen.
Yeah, but I said sting-type. Goad and encourage the perp, even go looking for one - somebody with an attitude and crap for brains. Once they are good and wound up, given lessons on technique and methods, suggest a time and place and sit back and watch.
Proxied it at any rate. I assume they did, more than one. Governments this big are bound to have Brutus-like elements within.
I picture the arrogant ones rationalizing their action with a sort of "we had to kill the president to save the constitution and the country" sort of argument. Brennan has that sort of attitude, so does Comey. Not saying those guys advocate assassination (although I think they would not lift a finger to stop it), just that they see nothing wrong with undermining the system if the action is directed against the right target. Lying the the FISA Court was the right thing to do, because Trump is so bad. Making up fake info to cause his political loss was the right thing to do, because he is so bad.
