I'd be willing to bet that'll be his lawyer's main defense, i.e., entrapment.

Doesn't work when the guy picks up a hooker on the street who turns out to be a UC cop.

Shouldn't work when a kid parks a bomb on the street and it turns out to be a FBI fake.

But I think that depends on how long they've been involved with him. A hooker isn't someone who feeds you information and promises materials for a year or more. I don't think the defense will ultimately fly either, of course.
