Jan. 6 'Electronic Surveillance Unit' Was 'Illegal,' Says Rep. Gohmert; Attorney Suggests 'Entrapment'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Considering the mounting evidence from eyewitness accounts that law enforcement was directly involved in encouraging, inviting, provoking, instigating, participating, and trying to cover up the truth about the origins of the violence on Jan. 6, it becomes a legitimate defense to anyone who may be charged with crimes related to Jan. 6 "because the government was engaged in a bunch of things that rose to the level of being outrageous," McBride asserted.
45% : The man McBride says is "clearly law enforcement," was dressed in red from head to toe -- with even his face painted red.
45% : By comparison to the ill-prepared CDU and unused National Guard during Jan. 6, in anticipation of violent protests regarding the leaked Supreme revealing the likely overturn of Roe v. Wade, McBride noted how security was heightened and law enforcement was quick to fortify the Supreme Court building with tall fencing.
40% : However, some conduct by the federal government is so outrageous that moving forward with a criminal prosecution violates a defendant's due process rights.
39% : This is a high bar to prove, as it must involve acts so fundamentally unfair that justice would prevent a criminal prosecution."
32% : The only time I have ever seen law enforcement do this, they have almost always been accused of doing this to rile up the crowd," said McBride.
