It is entrapment if you encourage someone to do something that they have not made any moves towards doing it. Listening to an informant plan and plant a course of action that the listener hadn’t thought of or announced movement on, is entrapment.
The real point is that nothing would have happened without the feds doing their damndest to bring it all to fruition. They planned it, supplied everything, and pushed the entire thing along, even when folks weren't interested. From what I've heard of the case, if I were on the jury I'd acquit the defendants, and convict the FBI.
Exactly.
