I'll wait for more reporting from credible sources on these subjects.
Until then, historically it'd be safest to assume that is just yet another FBI entrapment scheme of a low IQ or otherwise vulnerable individual done to boost the profile of these agents and the FBI more generally, which is their MO.
I don't trust anything that comes out of this administration.
The FBI has done this under every administration post 9/11.
