JTN: The revelations come at a sensitive time for the FBI and Director Christopher Wray, who has insisted widespread problems revealed about the bureau’s conduct in the now-discredited Russia collusion case have been fixed even as new revelations of misconduct come to light.
The FBI, already under fire for its handling of FISA warrants and confidential informants, is enduring more scrutiny as the Justice Department admits agents failed to disclose to a court that they had paid — to the tune of six figures — a white supremacist publisher for years to be an investigative source.
The admission came in a series of court filings this month in the case of Kaleb Cole, a Washington state man accused of being a member of the white supremacist group Atomwaffen and participating in an intimidation campaign against Jewish Americans and minority journalists. Cole has pleaded innocent and awaits trial.
Cole’s lawyers filed a motion to suppress evidence gathered against their client on the grounds that the FBI had failed to disclose in a search warrant application that a publisher of extremist literature had been paid about $144,000 over 16 years to be an informant, including $82,000 for work in the case against Cole. The confidential informant (CI) also had an earlier felony conviction that wasn’t disclosed, court records show. more
Can’t say “Black Eye”. i call racist on you, you White Supremacist.
The noose investigation will commence immediately. Expect a dozen agents and no lawyers allowed.
FBI has never been shy about hiding or destroying evidence.
That’s what all corrupt federal agencies do.
Yet, not one has been prosecuted.
Many have retired with full federal benefits.
Piker.
I woulda held out a a million.
FBI is now FBE
Federal Bureau Entrapment
It is strange that they still have time to commit various and sundry mischief when most of them are busy investigating garage door pulls,
self inflicted racial hoax’s and attending self loathing white hate classes!
At what point are going to admit the obvious? The FBI and CIA are terrorist organizations that are undermining the fabric of society for power and money.
