(RAW STORY) White supremacist radio host Hal Turner was an FBI informant, his lawyer revealed in court today. The announcement is a confirmation of what hackers claimed nearly a year ago after allegedly gaining access to his e-mails.
Turner was arrested on June 24 for allegedly calling for the murder of three judges who supported the Chicago gun ban. The confession by his attorney came at a bond hearing Tuesday.
“Attorney Michael Orozco […] said his client gave authorities information about a plot to assassinate President Barack Obama,” reported the Associated Press.
However, prosecutors said they had no information about the alleged plot, but did confirm Turner had a relationship with the bureau. Attorney William Hogan told the wire service that relationship had ended “some time ago.”
His recent arrest came after a complaint about an overt call for the murder of three judges.
“Let me be the first to say this plainly: these Judges deserve to be killed,” he wrote on his Web site,according to MSNBC. “He included their pictures, phone numbers, work address and room numbers along with a photo of the courthouse in which they work and a map of its location, the FBI says.”
“We take threats to federal judges very seriously. Period,”‘ said Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago,” the network reported.
But perhaps the most interesting bit of Turner’s recent history are his dealings with the users of the popular Internet forum 4chan, among others.
In July 2008, hackers — who may or may not be connected to 4chan — confronted Turner on his Web site’s forums and claimed they had gained access to his e-mail, uncovering a message allegedly to his FBI handler in which he takes credit for “flush[ing] out another crazy.”
The message was to one shaug@fbi.gov, credited in the purported e-mail as “Haug, Stephen M.”, and it told of an alleged plot to kill Democratic Senator Russ Feingold.
