This reeks of a typical FBI/BATFE entrapment setup. The fact that they had prior knowledge of him and contact with him means they had him in their rolodex as a possible future patsie. He’s just a dumbass who probably talked too much politics. Same stitchup they ran on Papadopolous.
If I were an enterprising reporter I’d be dredging all his hangouts to find out if he had recently acquired a new (FBI/BATFE supplied) buddy who talked a lot of politics with him, maybe got him a side job or otherwise funneled some cash his way.

I’d be asking Them who gave him the NEW van.
