halturnerracistrightwinghost FBI viewed intel provided by ultra right
radio host Hal Turner as irreplaceable: reportUltra right-wing radio
talk show host Hal Turner provided intelligence to the FBI that agents
considered "irreplaceable," according to emails reviewed for a lengthy
investigative report published Sunday.

Writing for NorthJersey.com, reporters Mike Kelly and Peter J. Sampson
reveal that the bureau once even used Turner as an undercover
intelligence operative in Brazil, where he informed on white
supremacist group American National Alliance and met with a
representative of the Brazilian Arab Society who sought to provide
support to Iraqi fighters.

According to documents reviewed for the report, Turner's FBI codename
was "Valhalla," which he sometimes wrote on the memo line of the
checks the agency sent him.

Turner's famously vile, racist broadcasts began in 2002, though the
one-time Pat Buchanan campaign coordinator did not begin his
relationship with the FBI until 2003, when he was recruited to attend
a National Alliance meeting in West Virginia. When he finally stopped
broadcasting in 2008, he was being investigated for making death
threats against judges he disagreed with.

Turner's laywer, Michael Orozco, gave a different timeline than the
North Jersey report, claiming in August that Turner's relationship
with the FBI began in 2002.

At least several times during his status as an FBI informant, agents
admonished Turner for his increasingly dangerous, threatening
rhetoric. While Turner even once severed his relationship with the
bureau in 2007, he was back on payroll within months. Once finally
arrested, allegedly by the very agents who recruited him, the right-
wing talker expressed dismay and surprise at being reeled in.

"I was not some street snitch," he said during a jail interview,
according to the North Jersey report. "I was a deep undercover
intelligence operative."

Indeed, according to an e-mail disclosed by the North Jersey report,
Special Agent Stephen Haug wrote that "[Turner's] value outweighs the
discomfort associated with source's rhetoric. Source's unique access
provides important intelligence which, if lost, would be
irreplaceable."

An FBI memo cited by the reporters added that Turner "has proven
highly reliable and is in a unique position to provide vital
information on multiple subversive domestic organizations,"
elaborating that he identified over 100 possible extremists and
prevented "over 10 acts of violence". Though it does not specify how
many people saw the inside of a jail cell because of Turner, it does
note that "multiple subjects" were arrested.

Turner's trial for making threats against three judges begins this
week. In an surprising twist, Orozco reportedly plans to subpoena New
Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie. He hopes to find out if Christie
advised the FBI about Turner as a U.S. Attorney in Newark.

He was first outed as an FBI informant in July, 2008, when unknown
hackers broke into the racist agent provocateur's e-mail and
discovered a message to a bureau handler discussing an alleged plot to
kill Sen. Russ Feingold.

Orozco has moved for the court to dismiss the case against Turner on
the grounds that the government engaged in "outrageous conduct" by
sponsoring Turner's racist rhetoric, then arresting him for going too
far.
