Entrapment ?

For most of you it is pretty clear that I do not watch CNN. However, thanks to C&C, I did watch a short clip of Vivek Ramaswamy being interviewed on CNN Townhall. Despite the host continually interrupting him, he did put forth a reasonable case that the “J6 insurrection” was a case of entrapment by the government. 

To begin with he recounts the times in the recent past that the government has lied to its citizens, e.g. the origins of Covid, the now well verified Hunter Biden laptop, the Trump-Russia collusion falsehood. 

Why did the government only release 12 hours of J6 footage when the now released additional 200 hours shows the government firing rubber bullets and teargas into the crowd? Was this to purposefully antagonize some in the crowd as and to entrap some to enter the Capitol once the red carpet was rolled out?

Ramaswamy also said that there were law enforcement agents in the crowd. Were these agents provoking or encouraging some to go into the Capitol? More entrapment?

To me it has always seemed bizarre that Nancy Pelosi refused more protection for the Capitol. Did she know what was subsequently going to happen? Again, entrapment? Similarly,the Mayor of Washington D.C. refused to okay more protection for the area. Did she know ahead of time what was likely to happen? Was she also involved in an entrapment scenario? This is a lot of speculation on my part, but if entrapment does indeed turn out to be the case, I will not be surprised!
