The only issue is where is the actual proof of contact with an informant. I dont see that in the article.

Ugh. Seriously? Another one?
Does the FBI ever catch any criminals that they haven't manufactured?
And now is there much remaining doubt that this incident has "agenda" stamped all over it?
Nothing is real. Strawberry fields forever.

They have to. If it's a lone wolf attack simply planning and preparing to do something isn't illegal (if it were, we would have thought crime). As a result, the FBI goes for the conspiracy angle and tries to get the person to agree to an attack with the help of one of their people. Since they have control over these attacks they string them along as long as possible in order to rack up more charges.
If the Orlando shooter wasn't willing to work with them, then the FBI is pretty powerless to do anything.

But isn't the real issue the fact that the FBI are the ones who actually plant these ideas in people's heads who otherwise likely would never have gone down the road of terrorism in the first place? All for the sake of saying "look, we stopped terrorism! Now give us more budget!"?

They target people that they think are likely to go down that road anyways, given enough time.

To me this sounds like a counter terrorism plot to remove potiential radicals based on psychological profiling. I think this recent is likely a case where it got out of hand... since the FBI gives them dummy weapons and explosive devices to see how far they will go in their possible radicalism...

Fair, but is that their job? To push people down a road they are not 100% sure they would have taken on their own?
