And if the fraudulent "foreign power" is actually an FBI agent who offers to provide an innocent person with information that may be illegal for that person to posess, then it is  entrapment.  That is, if you actually subscribe to the entire unconstitutional notion that it is somehow "illegal" for an American citizen to posses infromation.   It is a gross violation of civil rights, and a heinous abuse of power.    It is extremely fucked up, on so many levels, for the dirtbag fbi, and ESPECIALLY cia to even be attempting to commit these kinds of entrapment crimes against American citizens.  Outrageous.    To add a simplistic example of what this is like:  Undercover cop talking to citizen- "You see that house over there? You can buy drugs in there." Citizen- "Which house?" Cop- "Gotcha! I knew you were looking to do drugs.  You're under arrest, how do you plead?" There is no justification for an abuse of power of this magnitude.  And to think, these people were really going to try to use the pissgate dossier, and illegally obtained secret FISA warrants to pull the wool over over the publics eyes.  There are no legal punishments harsh enough to bring justice to the corrupt.  This is an abomination of everything our country stands for!
