Entrapment n. In criminal law, the act of law enforcement officers or government agents inducing or encouraging a person to commit a crime when the potential criminal expresses a desire not to go ahead. The key to entrapment is whether the idea for the commission or encouragement of the criminal act originated with the police or government agents instead of with the "criminal.
It's turning into quite the morning for NBCers to defend the left on Morning Joe . . .
First, Chuck Todd flatly rejected the notion that the MSM failed to adequately report on Van Jones, suggesting coverage would have been a waste of time. Later, Norah O'Donnell came on and suggested that the video of the ACORN employees giving advice on how to evade the tax laws in setting up a brothel with young illegal aliens "might be viewed as entrapment." [H/t FReeper mimaw.]

In a related story, Norah O’Donnell might be seen as a brainless, partisan whore....

I’m sure the lawyers in the NY DAs office investigating ACORN are grateful to have Norah O’Donnell of counsel.

Norah FAILS!!!
Entrapment can only be done by a government agency, not journalists.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Entrapment is something done by LEOs and the varying Law Enforcement agencies.
If Entrapment was applied to Non-LEOs then 60 minutes would be locked away for many lifetimes.

I’ll say it again folks, entrapment is not a crime, it is a defense of a crime already committed.

What a load of crap. Nobody made those ACORN fools say what they did. If they were on the up and up, they would have kicked the pimp and the prostitute out the door.
