Original Note:

Undercover agents recorded conversations and shared text messages among the would-be kidnappers. However, courts have repeatedly found no basis for an entrapment defense. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/gretchen-whitmer-kidnap-plot-trial-b2397975.html https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/08/19/gretchen-whitmer-kidnap-jury-instructions-entrapment-judge/7841645001/
