DOJ appealing decisions against ATF
Seems a couple of judges didn’t care for ATF creating criminals and struck them down for it. Well, they are appealing.

Frankly, as much as I agree that the ATF is acting abusively, Manual Real is out of control as a judge and should have been impeached for misconduct many years ago.

DoJ has a lot of convictions based on similar shell games. They fear those getting overturned, and losing pending cases as well.
Keep in mind what is at stake here, beyond some low-level drug charges: variations on this theme have nabbed “terrorists” who were talked into doing bad acts by the government, over time. They initially said no, but got talked into it by a federal agent. Then they go to jail forever.
This California case is not a unique operation. The basic premise has been replicated multiple times in many places. This one (“rob a drug stash house”) has practically been franchised by cops nationwide.
It’s entrapment. Pure and simple.

Remember this anytime the .gov says they’ve “foiled a terror plot.” As mentioned above, it almost always involved government agents or their stool pigeons working on some sad sack or dimwit for months or years to pressure, cajole or convince them into joining some daffy plan that never would have worked in the first place.

More proof that the BATFEIEIO is trying to mission creep themselves into some sort of National Anti-Violent Crime Bureau and shoulder the Feebs into just white collar stuff and anti-espionage.
