Wouldn't that be entrapment?

Entrapment requires you to entice someone to do a crime they would not otherwise do, which is a different thing.

It's the subtle difference between leaving an easy to steal car in a car park and
staking it out then catching someone who tries to steal it, and doing the same thing but actually asking a car thief to steal the car for you.

The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.

The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Congress in relation to the Russia inquiry. Trump immediately throws him under the bus, calling him a 'liar' and 'weak'. Even though Trump employed him for 12 years

I wonder if this is a long winded way to justify requesting Trump's financial records?

It's how they got Capone. I appreciate Trump's the bigger mobster, but it's a start

Writer`s Release

Trump: "There's absolutely no evidence that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia ordered Khashoggi's murder"

The CIA & GOP, including Lindsay Graham: "There's not a smoking gun, there's a smoking saw. You have to be willfully blind not to come to the conclusion that this was orchestrated and organized by people under the command of Mohammed Bin Salman and that he was intricately involved in the demise of Mr. Khashoggi,"

That's more than political pragmatism...

One of the remarkable things about the discussion we've been having lately is that the president still seems to think that he can be saved from whatever this investigation uncovers. He just announced that William Barr will be his next attorney general, and the New York Times reported that in private, "Mr. Trump has also repeatedly asked whether the next pick would recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel investigation into whether his campaign conspired with Russia in its interference in the 2016 election." It's as though he thinks this investigation is in its early stages and can be quashed by a properly loyal underling. But at this point it doesn't matter. It's far too late. Trump's former aides have cooperated, they've conducted their interviews with the special counsel, they're being sentenced, the documents have been reviewed, the connections have been traced, and the full picture is soon to be revealed.

This scandal can’t be hidden away. Republicans in Congress can’t save Trump, his attorney general can’t save him, and no amount of desperate tweets can save him. Accountability is on its way, and it’s arriving very soon.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2018/12/07/latest-filings-show-that-nobody-can-save-trump-now/
