Why? You think the feds are above doing such a thing?
They're above nothing, same as any other government. Risks are too great, vs. non-existent benefit they're going to be able to extract from this.
But I have no doubt they're capable of egging someone on to do something like this.
I guess they could say that they were trying to entrap him, but that he struck in an unexpected matter. But that would also have dire consequences for them - possibly a complete stop to this sort of entrapment they have been doing for the past 20 years.
