[MSN] A man convicted in 2010 of plotting to blow up New York City synagogues and a Jewish community center, and shoot down military planes, was ordered to be released from prison by a judge who said the defendant was part of a group manipulated by the FBI.
An agency controlled by another agency.
Four men, who became known as the "Newburgh Four," were caught up in a scheme in 2009 to attack the synagogues and community center, and launch stinger missiles at military aircraft, driven by what the judge describes as overzealous FBI agents and an "unsavory" confidential informant.

U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon had already ordered the three other men in the group - Onta Williams, David Williams and Laguerra Payen - to be released last July.

The fourth man, James Cromitie, described as the ringleader by the government, was ordered released by the judge on Friday.

The judge called the case "notorious" and described the men as "hapless" petty criminals who were "easily manipulated" by the government in a sting operation.

Cromitie's lawyer was quoted in the New York Times as saying the judge's order was "at least some kind of vindication for what we believe was a tragic miscarriage of justice."
A model for unwinding a lot of the foul damage the agency has done in recent years.

#2 ^My point is: does the judge shows FBI that there are limits - or, is it another case of a liberal judge giving law enforcement the finger?

....judge describes as overzealous FBI agents and an "unsavory" confidential informant.

Involves a place of worship? Quite difficult to imagine actually.

I have long stated that the FBI as a whole has HAD many good agents and it was only small fanatical group/cell within it violating civil rights and the constitution.

As I read of more and more of Civil Rights violations, and setups/staged events. I have altered my views.

What we are seeing now will be what the agency is now doing, was feared at its conception 100+ years ago.

Until someone (TRUMP) flushes the DC toilet,
this is what we have to work around.

BTW: is it just me,or do others see some correlation to the FBI increased issues and a certain president since that time frame.

...."unsavory" confidential informant."

Sometimes projects simply have to be terminated.

#9 IMO: the DOJ including FBI and AG needs to be eliminated. Re-locate the fed govt to the central US where it belongs (in 1778 DC was in the central US). Keep the galleries and museums in DC so that the residents have someplace to work.

#10 " Kudos to Darren J. Beattie of Revolver News and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for doing the FBI’s work for the FBI, smoking out the role of law enforcement (including the FBI) in but one module of the J6 operation that turned a peaceful mass assembly of disgruntled voters into a riot in order to color it as an “insurrection” and so destroy opposition to the falsely-elected, tyrannically corrupt, and epically deranged regime fronted by the ghost-in-the-White House, “Joe Biden.”"
