Records Show Relationship Between NJ Blogger, FBI
The Associated Press
November 29, 2009
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Despite downplaying his importance, federal
officials apparently made frequent use of a New Jersey blogger in
their battle against domestic terrorism.
The Record of Bergen County reviewed numerous government documents, e-
mails, court records and almost 20 hours of jailhouse interviews with
Hal Turner, who faces trial this week on charges he made death threats
against three Chicago-based federal appeals judges.
The newspaper reported Sunday that Turner received thousands of
dollars from the FBI to report on neo-Nazis and white supremacist
groups and was sent undercover to Brazil. Turner also claims the FBI
coached him to make racist, anti-Semitic and other threatening
statements on his radio show.
Turner - who also stands accused of threatening Connecticut
legislators - feels double-crossed by the bureau after his arrest. But
documents show federal agents often admonished his extremism.
Federal prosecutors and FBI officials declined comment, citing the
ongoing court cases.
