New Government Report Indicates The FBI Allowed Informants To Break The Law 5,600 Times In One Year

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

As the trial of James "Whitey" Bulger rages on, regarding the mobster the The FBI took bribes from and allowed him to murder innocent people simply because he was an informant, a damning report has been released on the law enforcement agency. According to a new government report, the "FBI allowed informants to commit 5,658 crimes" in 2011 alone. 

And what was the FBI's answer to this report "It sounds like a lot but you have to keep it in context." There is no acceptable context for this, as well documented cases revealed, innocent members of the public have been assaulted, maimed, shot and even killed while the FBI looked the other way to allegedly further investigations. That is inexcusable. As the Judiciary Report has consistently maintained, you can't break the law to uphold it.

Exclusive: FBI allowed informants to commit 5,600 crimes

August 4, 2013 - The FBI gave its informants permission to break the law at least 5,658 times in a single year, according to newly disclosed documents that show just how often the nation's top law enforcement agency enlists criminals to help it battle crime.

The U.S. Justice Department ordered the FBI to begin tracking crimes by its informants more than a decade ago, after the agency admitted that its agents had allowed Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger to operate a brutal crime ring in exchange for information about the Mafia. The FBI submits that tally to top Justice Department officials each year, but has never before made it public.

Report: The FBI Has Been Beating, Torturing And Threatening To Kill American Citizens If They Will Not Become Snitches (Informants)

The FBI Shows Its True Colors Again

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The FBI has been sued for renditioning and torturing Muslim-American citizen, Yonas Fikre, who was beaten and placed on the no fly list. Fikre maintains the FBI threatened to kill him, in a plot the CIA is also accused of participating in. Fikre stated the criminal actions by the law enforcement agency came when he refused to be an FBI informant. He also stated they issued veiled threats regarding his family.

Fikre is one of many, who have accused and sued the FBI for such inhumane and illegal conduct. The FBI has engaged in a criminal pattern of human rights abuses and invasion of privacy against "natural born" and naturalized American citizens, which is unlawful and worthy of the highest prosecution.

The FBI is flagrantly violating the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. Code and Constitution, regarding not engaging in cruel and unusual punishment. The agency has become a rogue police force with no accountability, resembling the now defunct SS under Hitler. The FBI is kidnapping, torturing, threatening, harassing and stalking people accused of no crimes. Why has Congress allowed them to engage in this disgraceful conduct. Where is the oversight.

US citizen accuses FBI of torture and death threats

Thursday 19 April 2012 - US citizen Yonas Fikre claimed on Wednesday that he was detained in the United Arab Emirates last year and tortured by FBI agents. Mr Fikre, a Muslim who is currently seeking asylum in Sweden, told a press conference in Stockholm that he was beaten, threatened with death and kept in solitary confinement for over three months...

"It was very hard, because you don't know why you are in there and the only person you speak to is either yourself, or the wall, or when you go to the restroom or when you go to the torture place," said Mr Fikre, who was held for 106 days...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that the US Justice Department investigate his treatment. The council alleges that over the past two years the FBI has been using aggressive tactics against Muslim US citizens travelling abroad to try to pressure them to become informants...

FBI Informant And Racist Radio Shock Jock Found Guilty

Hal Turner

FBI informant and racist agitator, Hal Turner, has been convicted of threatening the lives of federal judges, through his blog. This was the State's third attempt to bring him to justice on this matter, with previous cases completely failing.

Turner was paid by the FBI, with your tax dollars, to make hateful, racist, incendiary statements on air and the internet, with the goal of inciting acts of violence against public officials and minorities. The objective was it would give the Federal Bureau of Investigation, cases to pursue.

As if there are not enough crimes being committed in the world, the FBI seeks to create more, in order to fill quotas that allow more of your hard earned tax dollars to be funneled to the agency. However, the FBI disowned Turner when a rant calling for the murders of sitting judges, drew the wrath of the judiciary.

The Turner case should teach the public a very important lesson - never deal with the FBI, as they routinely leave informants and victims of crime for dead or get them into massive trouble, then abandon all support. They are not honorable.

The FBI - Contractors Of Crime

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The FBI likes to bill itself as above reproach, but often operates outside the law, to achieve its investigative goals, which are sometimes very dubious. The FBI has caused the deaths of many innocent civilians, in the pursuit of their twisted brand of justice, that often leaves victims of crime in grave danger and dire straits.

The FBI has outsourced its work many times to criminals, thugs, hoodlums, thieves and murderers, labeling them informants, whilst allowing said individuals to break the law at innocent people's expense. The FBI are contractors of crime.

How are you keeping America safe by spying on law abiding journalists and bloggers. That's self interest, as you dislike scoops whistleblower journalists and bloggers publish about your criminal misconduct, the nation and world needs to know about, as it violates domestic and international law.

How are you keeping America safe, by hiring criminals, thugs, hoodlums, thieves and murderers, on taxpayer money, to be so-called informants, getting into dangerous situations that pose a great danger to the public, which you deem collateral damage. Once again, you can't break the law to uphold it.

Judges Feared For Lives After FBI Informant's Threat

Hal Turner

The judges in the Hal Turner case, who were the subject of on-air death threats, at the aforementioned FBI informant's hands, spoke of their fear for their safety, as they addressed a courtroom this week in his retrial. Turner knew the FBI's instructions were questionable and unethical, posing a danger to public safety, but because he is on their payroll, he did it anyway. Thus he is culpable.

The Judiciary Report restates its claim. The FBI is reckless with victims of crime, leaving them at the mercy of criminals. No so-called FBI informant, should have been instructed to commit crimes. However, in case after case, we've seen the FBI slyly tell informants and instigators they pay with taxpayer money, to engage in criminal activity, to draw out potential criminals, in an effort to bulk up investigations and arrest quotas. All done in an effort to justify their billions in expenditures to the U.S. Congress.

Then, when said informants are arrested on serious crimes orchestrated by the Bureau, the FBI pretends they do not know them, attempting to disavow all knowledge of them, like it's the movie "Mission Impossible."

Grow up, already. You are not children trying to lie your way out of being sent to your room as punishment. You are playing with people's lives, some of whom have died. This criminal negligence is inexcusable.

What if some lone wolf had followed through on FBI informant Hal Turner's on-air call to violence and actually killed an unsuspecting judge. Then what. Why does the FBI not think these things through, rather than operating as loose cannons.

When one thinks of the number of people who have been brutally killed, severely injured or maimed by FBI informants, it is astonishing the Bureau has such leeway in endangering the public.

Judges testify that they feared for their lives after blog post by North Bergen shock jock Hal Turner

Last updated: Tuesday March 2, 2010, 8:28 PM - BROOKLYN – Three federal appellate judges took the witness stand Tuesday to say they feared for their lives after extremist shock jock Hal Turner of North Bergen wrote on his blog that they “deserve to be killed” for their ruling in a gun control case.

“I read it as a threat to kill me,” said one of the three, U.S. Appeals Court Judge William Bauer, who is based in Chicago...

Turner’s role as a secret FBI informant, who provided information on white supremacists and other extremists from 2003 to 2007, was detailed in an investigation by The Record in November. He claims he was urged by FBI agents to make provocative statements on his radio show and blog as a way of making contacts with members of America’s ultra-right wing...

Nonetheless, the judges said they felt afraid. “It’s obviously a threat,” said Posner.

“The principle concern is that someone would come and kill me or shoot me or try to blow me up,” added Easterbrook, who is the chief judge of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals...

Another FBI Informant Endangered By The Bureau

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

Adding to the Judiciary Report's ongoing serious of stories on widespread FBI criminal negligence, another person has come forward with a very telling story, regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation leaving her for dead, after they got what they wanted.

A woman named "Andrea" who worked as an informant for the FBI against the Mexican mafia, stated she received a call shortly after from the Bureau, asking her to take part in a Discovery channel documentary, "Inside the FBI" which was meant to showcase the agency's alleged skills.

They promised her anonymity in the documentary and she received anything but. Her home, neighborhood and two cars were shown on the program, without her consent, alerting the Mexican mafia to the fact she had become a cooperating witness for the FBI, divulging all the criminal organization's secrets.

She was even arrested during the course of her work for the FBI and they left her to rot in jail, as they did to Craig Monteilh.

When she complained to the FBI regarding her arrest by local police and her identity being exposed on television, requesting protection, as she has two children, they let her know it was her problem and left her for dead. How vile!

"Andrea"

She went public with her story and was featured on the news, as a means of seeking help, protection and visibility, in a bid to discourage an retaliatory attacks, as everyone would assume the Mexican mafia did it.

The FBI's conduct is disgusting and appalling. Just this week, a retired FBI agent, Craig Dotlo, slammed the U.S. Congress stating, "The members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, like to pretend they do everything right and they’re trying to protect the American people from these bumbling idiots (who work for the Bureau)."

But that's just it, the FBI under its current leadership is "bumbling." Look what they did to that woman. She helped them and this is how they repay her, clumsily exposing her identity to the Mexican mafia on international television.

I know the head of the FBI has a hatred for minorities such as blacks and Hispanics, but his conduct is unsound, very bad business sense and poor government policy.

Making promises to victims of crime and informants that the Bureau consistently fails to keep, in stories that have now gone public, is not only dishonorable and arrogant, it is self-defeating for the FBI.

Mueller's madness in repeatedly leaving victims of crime and informants for dead, after the agency obtains information, is going to make it that much harder for the FBI to get people to talk and cooperate in the future.

It is also going to damage the credibility of U.S. intelligence worldwide, such as the FBI's more potent and effective sister agency, the ruthless CIA, who has to operate in the international community among scores of minorities in the Middle East (300,000,000 people), South America (300,000,000), the Caribbean (20,000,000 people) and Britain (60,000,000).

What is a promise going to be worth from anyone in U.S. intelligence at this point, after the FBI's constant acts of treachery in deliberately breaking their pledges to victims of crime and informants.

FBI Left Muslim Informant For Dead

FBI Informant Says Agency Put Her Life In Danger

UPDATED: 7:41 pm PST February 8, 2010 - SAN DIEGO -- An informant for the FBI told 10News the agency double-crossed her and put her life in danger after she helped them in a risky operation.

"Andrea" was a highly placed member of the notorious Mexican Mafia. She said she was responsible for one of the most successful operations against the highly organized gang. She said much of the operation was recorded on videotape.

In the Discovery Channel's documentary "Inside the FBI," the operation Andrea took part in was called "one of the largest Mexican Mafia takedowns in FBI history." The documentary focused on a raid carried out in San Diego last February that featured major law enforcement action. The producers of the documentary had unusual access to much of the operation known as

"Keys to the City."

The raid was considered a success, with 40 members of the Mexican Mafia arrested. Their bosses, who are in prison, were also named in federal indictments. For authorities, it was described as a major victory over a dangerous gang with a very long reach. Authorities said the Mexican Mafia controls many segments inside local jails, state and federal prisons and the Hispanic street gangs in San Diego.

At the press conference following the operation, FBI Special Agent in Charge Keith Slotter described the Mexican Mafia and said, "Many of the made members of the Mexican Mafia are behind bars. However, they do have the ability to run their operations from prisons and have been successful in doing that." ...

In the Discovery Channel's documentary, Andrea's handlers were full of praise, but she said some serious mistakes were made when the documentary aired.

While she would eventually have to testify in open court against the mafia members, Andrea said the FBI and documentary producers endangered her life by revealing too much. Andrea claimed the documentary repeatedly showed her two cars and her home.

After the documentary aired, she e-mailed 10News about what she described as "problems with the FBI and their broken promises."

"I knew if I wasn't really dead, I was dead now," said Andrea...

FBI Left Muslim Informant For Dead

Craig Monteilh

Yesterday, Craig Monteilh, a man that became an FBI informant, sued the Bureau stating they left him for dead, after getting him arrested and incarcerated during an under cover job. He states he was stabbed in prison by White Supremacists and in another incident, a "fatwa" was ordered against him due to work the FBI had him perform regarding a Muslim group.

The Judiciary Report warned two weeks ago on January 11. 2010 the FBI's promises mean nothing, as they do not honor their word. Whether you are a victim of crime or an informant, take everything they say with a grain of salt, as they are dishonorable liars, who are not to be trusted. Believing them could cost you your very life. They will use and abuse you, then leave you for dead when they get what they want.

They see victims of crime and informants as expendable, collateral damage. There are many other stories of victims of crime and informants being murdered, maimed or impaired, due to FBI criminal negligence. They simply do not care. Do not get involved with them.

F.B.I. Los Angeles spokesdevil, Laura Eimiller, claims the lawsuit is just a ploy to get money out of the FBI who routinely steal the American people's tax dollars with miscellaneous, bogus receipts.

She stated, "The government will have the opportunity to defend the lawsuit in court. However, the accusations appear to be desperate attempts by Mr. Monteilh to personally benefit at the expense of law enforcement officers and the Muslim American community."

a) Why are you invoking the name of the Muslim American community when they don't even like you (FBI)

- and -

b) When you say "personally benefit" do you mean like when the FBI, who are supposed to be out fighting crime, outright took a preexisting copyright it had no business touching in a million years, hired a Los Angeles entertainment agency, William Morris and collected a massive check for a show Fox decided to drop before it aired, due to bad publicity. Last time I checked, that was called criminal copyright infringement and is a violation of the U.S. Code and international law. You know, like using a foreign MP's photo without permission for terrorist mock ups. Well, well well, the crime fighters are criminals.

It says a lot that Monteilh and radio shock jock, Hal Turner, among others, keep telling this same story, regarding the FBI paying them to engage in incendiary and illegal acts, while infiltrating hate groups and mosques.

Considering the FBI has lied about not violating the privacy of the American people, via such means as illegal wiretaps, email scanning, unlawfully accessing phone records, personal library records and bank accounts, the public has absolutely no reason to believe the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Even the latest, extraordinarily disrespectful and downright dangerous international incident involving a Spanish MP has shown the FBI to be absolute liars.

It's amazing how FBI Director Robert S. Mueller continues to bring this nation's name into disrepute all over the world with his madness and treachery.

How much more disgrace do you intend to draw before you crash out of that job, oh Hoover reboot. More importantly, how many more innocent Americans will die due to your criminal negligence (for further reference see September 11th and Fort Hood, to name a few).

Suit by alleged informant says FBI endangered his life

Craig Monteilh, who says he worked undercover in Orange County as part of anti-terrorism efforts, accuses the bureau of abandoning him after mishandling a case. Action also names the Irvine Police Dep.

Alleged informant Craig Monteilh, 47, says that the FBI essentially cut him loose after a supervisor bungled an operation that would have led to the discovery of "bomb making materials" in a Tustin mosque. (Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times / February 24, 2009)

January 23, 2010 - An Irvine man who says he worked as an undercover informant for the FBI, most notably as a Muslim convert in an anti-terrorism case, filed a lawsuit Friday accusing his law enforcement handlers of violating his civil rights and endangering his life.

Craig Monteilh, 47, says he worked as an informant for the FBI from 2004 through 2008, providing information and assistance in narcotics, bank robbery and murder for hire investigations before being asked to go undercover as part of an anti-terrorist effort in Orange County, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Monteilh alleges that the FBI essentially cut him loose after a supervisor bungled an operation that would have led to the discovery of "bomb making materials" in a Tustin mosque. Afterward, the lawsuit alleges, his FBI handlers reneged on a promise to implement an "exit strategy" that was to include back pay and severance pay and help with beginning a life with a new identity...

"The government will have the opportunity to defend the lawsuit in court," FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said in a prepared statement. "However, the accusations appear to be desperate attempts by Mr. Monteilh to personally benefit at the expense of law enforcement officers and the Muslim American community."

Monteilh says in his lawsuit that his work for the bureau at times placed his life in jeopardy. At one point after his cover was blown, he said, Muslim extremists "ordered a 'fatwa' " against him and the Romania Mafia, Mexican Mafia and a white supremacist group all wanted him dead...

Former OC informant files $10 million suit against FBI

Published: Jan. 22, 2010 - A man who once worked with the FBI, allegedly feeding the agency information on local mosques and Muslim communities throughout the county, has today filed a $10 million civil liberties lawsuit against the federal agency...

"Mr. Monteilh communicated his grave concerns over the threats on his life to the FBI and asked for the FBI to arrange for protective custody, but instead he was left in general population, thereby exposed to constant danger of being killed," the suit reads...

"Assistant United States Attorney Dierdra Eliot gave Mr. Monteilh special permission, by and through a signed Federal document, to engage in jihadist rhetoric, including but not limited to conducting terrorist operations, possessing weapons and initiating conversations to further terrorist acts against the United States," the lawsuit states...

Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Los Angeles Chapter, said it's not the use of informants that worries him, but allegations and consistent reports that informants incite violent rhetoric inside the Muslim community, and reports that agents use immigration, financial, and legal tactics to strong-arm people into becoming informants.

FBI Blogger Called For Lynching Of Black Woman

Hal Turner

White Supremacist, FBI Blogger, Hal Turner, who was a paid informant of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, openly called for the lynching of a former black congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney.

He referred to her as, "A violent, black, racist, bi**h’ whose lynching would teach other Blacks that ‘white people are tired of your bull***t, behave or die.’" Yes, he did.

Turner was on the FBI's payroll, under FBI Director Robert S. Mueller's supervision, while he spewed this racist bile, endangering her life.

Is this what the FBI thinks of black people - that we can be endangered to make arrests in order to extract more funding from Congress, via taxpayer money, which gets stolen, anyway (For reference, see millions in missing computer system money).

It is so appalling and irresponsible. Who in their right mind could think such a thing was a good idea. Does the FBI have no oversight!

How does the FBI justify this appalling conduct, from a man they trained to incite violence, as court documents attest, to enable them to meet headquarters' arrest quotas, also known as entrapment.

It wasn't until he called for the death of white judges that the FBI finally decided to arrest their own paid informant. Too bad you can't get a refund.

However, that's very telling. What a terrible double standard, as every life is valuable. What if someone publicly put a target on FBI Director Robert Mueller's back or that of his kids and grandkids, calling for their deaths online and on the radio. He would be angry.

FBI Director Robert Mueller

He would have been so enraged and locked them up immediately. However, in his mind, it is okay for a paid FBI informant to call for the death of a black member of the U.S. Congress, with no penalty and not so much as a word from the FBI.

That's called corruption. You endangered her very life in allowing him to do such a thing. What if someone had killed McKinney? What would the FBI have said. Once again, irresponsible!

Upon learning of this news, when Turner was arrested recently, McKinney stated, "“[I]t has just now come to my attention that a ‘journalist’ who suggested that I be lynched was actually being paid by our own government to say that. Now, when I reported it to the FBI, how in the world was I to know that he was at that time on the FBI’s payroll?”

Lynching of Cynthia McKinney urged by ‘journalist’ trained and paid by FBI

August 24, 2009 - Hal Turner called her ‘a violent, black, racist, bi**h’ whose lynching would teach other Blacks that ‘white people are tired of your bull****, behave or die.’

“[I]t has just now come to my attention that a ‘journalist’ who suggested that I be lynched was actually being paid by our own government to say that. Now, when I reported it to the FBI, how in the world was I to know that he was at that time on the FBI’s payroll?”

“Hate blogger” Hal Turner’s lawyer said last week, and prosecutors agreed, that Turner was “trained by the FBI on how to be deliberately provocative” and “worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an ‘agent provocateur’ and was taught by the agency ‘what he could say that wouldn’t be crossing the line.’”

Turner is being charged with making death threats against Connecticut legislators and Illinois judges and is apparently going to claim that his actions were legal because he did the same sort of thing when employed by the FBI. In an Associated Press story published Aug. 18, Katie Nelson writes:

“Prosecutors have acknowledged that Turner was an informant who spied on radical right-wing organizations, but the defense has said Turner was not working for the FBI when he allegedly made threats against Connecticut legislators and wrote that three federal judges in Illinois deserved to die.

“‘But if you compare anything that he did say when he was operating, there was no difference. No difference whatsoever,’ [his lawyer] said.”...

McKinney wrote in her email: “Interesting that charges stem from his comments against Connecticut lawmakers and Illinois judges, but not from the threat made against me, a sitting Member of Congress at the time!” And apparently the threat against McKinney was made when Turner admits to having been on the FBI payroll.

John Judge, who worked for McKinney, writes of Turner:

“This is the guy who announced a program topic suggesting that Cynthia McKinney be lynched on her way to the polls to vote in 2006 and published her campaign office address on the website. He asked how she would look swinging at the end of a rope and what message it would send to other ‘uppity’ Blacks. I called NJ Homeland Security and FBI at the time …. The FBI agent I spoke to said, ‘We know all about Mr. Turner.’ Looks like they did.”

“LYNCHING CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY: SHOULD IT BE DONE BEFORE HER JULY 18 PRIMARY ELECTION?

“Tune-in to ‘The Hal Turner Show’ this Wednesday evening from 9:00-11:00 PM eastern US time as we talk about this topic!...“Turner promotes antisemitism (including the rounding up and killing of Jews), he opposes the existence of the state of Israel and he denies the Holocaust.

“According to the Associated Press, Hal Turner has exposed through his attorney that he worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an ‘agent provocateur’ and ‘his job was basically to publish information which would cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest.’

FBI Paid Blogger To Incite Violence

Hal Turner

The defense attorney for blogger and white supremacist, Hal Turner, who was a paid FBI informant, stated the Bureau paid him to incite other bloggers into engaging in felonious conduct.

Sounds like entrapment. The FBI is very good at that. When will the FBI learn, crimes are created not fabricated.

FBI ‘agent provocateur’ incited bloggers: lawyer

...But the talk show host and blogger, “was an FBI trained agent provocateur, says Infowars, quoting Turner’s lawyer.

“The supposed white supremacist worked for the agency from 2002 until 2007,” says the story.

He was, “trained by the FBI on how to be deliberately provocative,” the Associated Press has his lawyer saying.

Turner worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007 as an “agent provocateur” and was taught by the agency, “what he could say that wouldn’t be crossing the line,” defense attorney Michael Orozco said, according to the story, which quotes him as stating:

“His job was basically to publish information which would cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest.”

Confirmed: Hal Turner Was A Paid Informant

Hal Turner

Two weeks ago, I wrote that blogger Hal Turner was not just an FBI informant, but a paid one. Yesterday, his lawyer confirmed in court what I alleged two weeks - Turner was on the FBI's payroll.

Some informants cut remuneration-free deals to stay out of prison, when the FBI catches them committing a crime. They do so with the proviso, they will avoid prison, in exchange for doing dirty work for the Bureau. However, some are paid informants, who receive tens of thousands of dollars.

And this ladies a gentlemen, is how the FBI is spending your tax dollars, lavishing it on lawbreakers.

But, then the FBI will take the stingy route, in obtaining certain types of valuable information, by illegally pulling wiretaps on scholars, scientists and journalists, when they want to unlawfully use law abiding citizens as informants, without their knowledge or permission, which is out of line.

Man accused of threatening judges was a paid informant for the FBI

August 11, 2009 - A lightning-rod Internet blogger and radio host out of New Jersey was a paid FBI informant, once turned over a silencer to the feds and even passed on information about a threat against President Obama.

But none of that is enough to get him out of jail now, a federal judge ruled Monday. U.S. District Judge Martin Ashman said Hal Turner -- accused of threatening to assault and murder three federal judges -- is still a danger to the community.

Ashman said the fact that Turner from his New Jersey prison cell managed to record and post on the Internet a telephone conversation that included the names of his arresting FBI agents "tells me something about the disposition of Mr. Turner."

Ashman denied Turner's request to have FBI agents testify at his bond hearing. Ashman's ruling came despite Monday's revelation by Turner's lawyers that the FBI paid Turner "tens of thousands of dollars" to work as an informant from 2002 to 2005. Last year, Turner told a U.S. marshal of a threat by someone to lob mortars into Grant Park during Obama's election celebration...

White Supremacist Confirmed FBI Informant

Hal Turner

It has been confirmed, Hal Turner, a white supremacist blogger, arraigned for threatening a judge, is indeed an FBI informant, as previously and unlawfully disclosed, when hackers published items from his email account, showing communiqués between the two.

It never ceases to amaze me the type of shady characters the FBI will enlist, often as paid informants, using taxpayer money to compensate men and women, who do not deserve it.

Lawyer: Man accused of judge threat was FBI source

CHICAGO — A New Jersey blogger accused of threatening to kill three federal judges has been an FBI informant and even told authorities about a potential plot to assassinate President Barack Obama, his lawyer said Tuesday.

Blogger Hal Turner pleaded not guilty earlier in the day to charges that he threatened to kill three Chicago-based federal appeals judges...
