"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," Orozco said."

He worked for the FBI from 2002 to 2007...   This ought to get interesting quick.

Back to the 'Good old days' of Hoover's FBI, where they sent guys like this into every right-wing organization they could in the Kennedy and Johnsom years, from the Birchers to the Minutemen ('Minutemen' of that time and their near relations - very heavily armed gun nuts mostly, no connection to the current incarnation by the same name, more like the militias of later years), and you could be assured that if anyone was talking about committing criminal acts, especially National Firearms Act violations, and trying to involve someone else, that guy was the FBI or then-BATF agent or informer.  Memories, memories...

Once again again it would seem that our so called Government has declared war on the right.
