Attorney: FBI Trained Blogger To Be Provocative

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | August 19, 2009 

HARTFORD, Conn. – 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.

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

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.

    If indeed the cat is out of the bag we need to know it the FBI is an equal opportunity provocateur. Do our employees also train people to provoke into arrestable crimes muslim extremist or the most numerous terrorists in America the greens and anarchist wannabees that align themselves with the democrats? I’m betting the latter are protected by the ACLU and other legal groups aligned with the Democrats that spend our tax dollars screwing those that don’t buy in to the leftist dogma….I’m sure this is just an off shot of the program the obama clowns use to employ union thugs to threaten opposition.
