Since 2001, the FBI has led various hunts for domestic terrorists and arguably, manufactured even more. “The Newburgh Sting” is a documentary detailing how an undercover informant induced four men to join a plot to blow up a Bronx synagogue and attack a nearby U.S. military base. John Mueller is a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute. He spoke at a Cato event this April providing insight on the harm these FBI investigations may cause.
