LOL, I don't think they'd care if something normally utterly scandalous got out - they seem to have the entire MSM in their hands, so it wouldn't matter, the spin would be totally positive.

Have you read about Hal Turner?

There's quite a few articles in the archives, under keyword: halturner

He had a rightwing talk show on radio, but now he's in jail.

Why?

For inciting the public ..... BUT, it turns out that the FBI frequently was instructing him to write incindiary blog posts MEANT, intentionally, to incite readers.

Seriously.

The Hal Turner situation gets seriously on my nerves -- even his surname, it's right out of Tim McVeigh's favorite novel, THE TURNER DIARIES.

I presume that MOST FBI agents are entirely professional and ethical to the extreme, but I remain suspicious of those who are not.

There's several years worth of postings about Hal Turner here on FR; these are simply the last 2 threads posted here:

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A New Jersey blogger facing charges in two states for allegedly making threats against lawmakers and judges was trained by the FBI on how to be deliberately provocative, his attorney said Tuesday.

Hal 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.....

For more than five years, Hal Turner of North Bergen lived a double life.

The public knew him as an ultra-right-wing radio talk show host and Internet blogger with an audience of neo-Nazis and white supremacists attracted to his scorched-earth racism and bare-knuckles bashing of public figures.

But to the FBI, and its expanding domestic counter-terror intelligence operations in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Turner was "Valhalla" — his code name as an informant who spied on his own controversial followers.

Turner's clandestine past was confirmed this past summer when he was jailed on charges that he made threats on his blog against three federal judges in Chicago. In court after his arrest, federal prosecutors acknowledged Turner's FBI ties but downplayed his importance and even described him as "unproductive"........

Both of you need to read about the debacle at Ruby Ridge and how the government set that operation up. Pay special attention to the trials and how the FBI acted there. I'd wager that you both will change your tune.
