We are both right. He was entrapped, and that is the real crime here.
But also, the reason he was targeted for entrapment is that he was named as a foreign policy person, and that happened at least in part because he exaggerated his prior experience.
You are correct. I heard that the deep state actors appealed to his vanity by offering him $3K to write and give a speech in England on some foreign policy subject, he bit, and they reeled him in.
