The 2009 Newberg Sting is examined via an HBO documentary, detailing how the FBI targeted four impoverished men in New York for a manufactured terror plot. The hosts discuss how the bureau used a paid informant to offer $250,000 and luxury items to a Walmart clerk to induce participation in a fake bombing scheme. They argue this case serves as a blueprint for how the government creates "domestic violent extremists" for political and budgetary gain.
