FBI Spoil Their Own Capitol Terror Plot to Sow Fear: ‘There Was Never A Danger to the Public’

So, if anyone is keeping score, in a few short days we have seen a sensational and brutal terror attack in Paris, followed by an alleged plot filled with intrigue to poison Speaker of the House John Boehner, and now a thwarted effort to wage a full on jihadi assault against the U. S. Capitol with machine guns.
The only problem with this is that at least half of it is fiction.
NBC News reported:
An Ohio man who allegedly wanted to set up an ISIS cell in the U. S. was arrested Wednesday and accused of planning to attack the U. S. Capitol. But U. S. officials told NBC News the man was dealing with a government informer working undercover the entire time and was never in a position to carry out his plan.
Christopher Lee Cornell, 20, of Green Township, near Cincinnati, was arrested after he bought two M-15 semi-automatic rifles and about 600 rounds of ammunition as the undercover operative watched, according to an FBI affidavit.
Cornell’s father, John Cornell, said the family was blindsided by the arrest.
‘He never showed any signs of violence or anything,’ John Cornell said of his son.
Classic drama to sow fear among the public, and revive support for the surveillance state in the post-Snowden world where many are disillusioned and everyone knows the government is spying on their phone calls and Internet activity.
