Well Mr. Prime Minister, when you want to catch rats you set up a trap with something as a lure to catch them, so the US set up a rat trap and they caught some rats, where's the entrapment?

Perhaps the PM chose his word poorly .... if not, his words project poorly on his character. Honest people cannot be entrapped to do criminal activities.

What character? He has none...nada...zilch!!

Agree 100%

If the USA law enforcement agencies used "entrapment" then why is that a problem? Why even mention it. Criminals in the USA are convicted in cases that used entrapment frequently. Does anyone remember Delorean and his conviction of conspiracy to transport cocaine?

The Pm now has more information than before the Fnm Pintard and sands the toggie and boggie guy and the one who opens airports for the rich while they put the poor in jail looking for polotical advantage.

Excellent defense Birdie. You're on par with our great legal minded PM. ROFL!!

The one who swims with the swain wrights as if Pintard or sands wrights Pintard says it is unsealteding It is the toggie and boggie guy who is unsealted. If the USA has information on a government then name him or her. The USA is not without fault they have their serious issues. So to hell with the yes massers

ALWAYS RACISTS...you got nothing else

The US has many faults ... they have a convicted felon as their leader ... he screams entrapment every time he gets involved with criminal activities

What's that got to do with our own country and our very own most corrupt "high-ranking politicians" like Stumpy Davis and Chester the Jester?

It seems Brave is defending them as if they are little children or drug addicts who cannot
control themselves. It helps one understand now why the U.S. is hesitant to share information with him. Amazing response Mr. Prime Minister. A smart K.C. like himself should realise that
even if that were the case, they were only approached because they knew, probably from good
sources that their assistance would be forthcoming.

So we have "a high-ranking politician" who was all too easily entrapped to accept a $2 million bribe for his anticipated role in facilitating the movement of cocaine through Nassau International Airport, and in discussing the use of government or military aircraft to transport cash from Florida in exchange for commissions.

And this same "high-ranking politician" is likely a cabinet minister appointed by none other than the very corrupt Stumpy Davis. Small wonder Stumpy Davis is slow walking this explosive matter as he takes steps to have it covered up forevermore so that the "high-ranking politician" is never revealed by name to the public.

The FNM leadership really needs to turn the heat up on this matter by loudly criticizing the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, the US Embassy in The Bahamas, and the US State Department, for their collective efforts in assisting Stumpy Davis with the concealment of the name of the high-ranking Bahamian politician who was referred to in the unsealed indictment.

Yes. Couldn't agree more.

Meself trying to find the right way to better or worser add to the diversity of the before, above, below and sideways comments made as to what has, was, or 'tis only now being alleged as to named, and still enlisted policemans' entrapments as against that assessed by the US Justice Department and its Prosecutors. -- **Do or say whatever** whilst knowing it is highly likely nothing **whatever the weather be's** --- gets posted online or wireless uttered can escape being listened to or US recorded. --Same applies to members and associates of the King's House-recognised Loyal Opposition -- Reminder;-- wikileaks hijacked each and every Cable Dispatch to and from US State Department -- outlining conversations with Bahamian govt politicians and officials and all opposition parties people had engaged in chatter within the walls or by other means with the US Embassy. -- Yes?

Silly silly if there was a high ranking politicians. The name would have been given perhaps those Fnm fellows should go to the USA so that they can be sent to El Salvador how fitting that would be for them the yes massar bunch

Clearly , and to his credit, the Honorable Prime Minister himself was not involved in this case or properly briefed about what went on. . What he should have said is that this was a “reverse sting” where our guys knew they were being set up and they only played along to see how this sordid game was going to play out. We Bahamians need to have more trust in our people.

It is highly unlikely that corrupt Stumpy Davis could appoint a "George Smith type" as a cabinet minister and not know anything about his involvement in such major criminal activities.

Dont know who knew and who didnt know, but I do remember Shane Gibsons comment when pressure mounted for him to resign on his "honour" under the "appearance" of corruption, "*if I have to resign, Perry Christie has to resign*", it was a very very odd statement. Only Shane Gibson knows the players in it

**To change tones if only to reflect on a decision moment in:** -- Dr. Minnis, may want to press pause before revealing his decision as to, or not to stick it out in Killarney, to give a lookover as to life decisions taken after wife of four decades Anna Stanley, told another Doc; --- Charles Stanley, she wanted a divorce because of the way he chose his priorities. -- Now faced new priorities and contrary to the tones expressed -- **friendly and unfriendly.** -- Yes?

All I can say is this..........the Trump administration means business and some of these senior level people in government wouldn't dare set foot in the United States. As the saying goes..........F-A-F-O!

Many in this most corrupt Davis and Cooper led PLP government are no doubt rightfully fearful that they could possibly end up in that notorious El Salvador prison if they set foot on US soil.

Even that ChiCom troll @birdie won't travel to the U.S. anymore.

From a previous comment:

"*Criminals in the USA are convicted in cases that used entrapment frequently*"

Nobody is convicted using entrapment. It seems as if that Brave Davis' goal was to throw a fly in the ointment, confuse people and muddy the waters. And that goal seems to have achieved. Because people are saying the wildest illogical and confused things down to "the case has no merit". They havent even heard the evidence yet, just an extremely damaging summary referencing captured video.

**A "sting" is not entrapment. A "sting" is not "entrapment"**.

Theyve for example caught multiple persons plotting to kill their significant others by having them speak with a law enforcement officer posing as a hitman. While listening to the recorded conversations released, you can decipher that the agent is very careful in letting the suspect lead the offer of the crime as opposed to directing them in the commission of the crime. **That is where the definition of "entrapment" is found, in detailed examination of the conversation, not simply the "involvement or presence" of undercover personnel.**

If Brave Davis was not privy to the actual transcript of the conversation, it was beyond irresponsible to use the word *entrapment* because he knows the fine details of its definition. Since he told us he doesnt know the high ranking politician, he cant have seen the transcript, because their name is in there. But then again, you need an AI parser for Brave Davis' answers, he actually said, the "US State Department" hasnt told him the name, he did not say he didnt know it.

Back to the earlier comment, nobody is convicted "*frequently using entrapment*" because if the legal definition of entrapment is met, the individual cannot be convicted on that charge. If the individual has other charges, which they often do, as Marion Barry did, they can be convicted on those. Marion Barry was not ruled entrapment either, the judge declared a mistrial because the jury deadlocked on some charges with some jurors ignoring his instructions and openly dismissing noncontested evidence in their "he was set up" theory

Can anybody imagine a defense from Puff Daddy that he was "entrapped"? That is as ridiculous as the suggestion here that senior police officers for four whole years involved in cocaine smuggling werent fully aware of what they were doing. But, the evidence will tell.

All good points!
