It's not like the prosecution is going to brag about it, when they simply have the option of not going to trial or make a plea bargain.

I wish.

The calls, meetings and official visits were all recorded. There's nothing to undermine.



What does this have to do with my reply above? Genuinely confused.


Had you read the material I posted,

"In 1974, RCMP Security Service Corporal Robert Samson was arrested at a hospital after a failed bombing - the bomb exploded while in his hands, causing him to lose some fingers and tearing his eardrums - at the house of Sam Steinberg, founder of Steinberg Foods in Montreal. While this bombing was not sanctioned by the RCMP, at trial he announced that he had done "much worse" on behalf of the RCMP, and admitted he had been involved in the APLQ break-in."


I have no love for the RCMP, but I don't understand what this has to do with entrapment related to the FLQ crisis. Sorry I asked.
