John Oliver admits there were more government fingerprints than “you would like” in the “kidnapping” plot of Gretchen Whitmer.

“Remember when that group of men was arrested?”

“Guess how many confidential informants seem to help that plot along?”

“I’ll give you a clue — it is a lot more than you would like.”

“And you… wonder if that plan could have even gotten off the ground if there hadn’t been ‘as many as a DOZEN confidential informants’ involved and ‘two undercover federal agents.’”

So John Oliver is basically saying the government can shape or aid someone else’s sinister plot… then blame the useful idiots who carry it out.
