For anyone interested, her interrogation video on Jim Can't Swim is very interesting. It's clear she went into it thinking it to be routine interview and nothing more.

Am watching this video right now, and you're not wrong, it's fascinating. But I wonder how the investigators avoided that getting tagged as entrapment?

That is not entrapment. Entrapment is when, in the most basic sense, it occurs when a government official, such as a police officer, uses threats, fraud, or harassment to induce or coerce someone to commit a crime they wouldn't ordinarily commit.

Oh, and when you claim entrapment as a defense, you have to admit to having committed the crime. That is why politicians always make claims about entrapment in front of a TV camera, but never in front of a judge.

BTW, IANAL so YMMV.
