Double-Crossed

"Avowed white supremacist Frazier Glenn Cross received federal witness protection [and] was issued a new Social Security number."

I wonder if he ever met Al Sharpton.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — All Americans stand with the mourners of three people killed at Jewish community sites in suburban Kansas City, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday, adding that hate crimes are ‘‘an affront’’ to the nation.

Before an overflow crowd of about 1,300, Holder joined Governor Sam Brownback and several religious and political leaders at an interfaith memorial service at the Jewish Community Center, the site of one of two shootings that stunned the city on the eve of Passover.

**************

Avowed white supremacist Frazier Glenn Cross, 73, who is also known as Frazier Glenn Miller, served three years in federal prison in the late 1980s, convicted on weapons charges and for threatening a race war. He avoided a longer sentence in exchange for testifying against more than a dozen other white supremacists, including members of a group known as The Order, accused of plotting to overthrow the federal government. Despite his testimony each of the 14 defendants in the Fort Smith, Ark., trial was acquitted.

Groups that monitor hate groups said they are confident Cross received federal witness protection. They cite the fact that he was issued a new Social Security number in Nevada in 1990, the year he was released from prison. Public records show both names and Social Security numbers linked to his address in Aurora, Mo.

Jeff Lanza, a retired special agent in the FBI’s Kansas City office, said such deals are not uncommon when building cases against secretive criminal organizations. ‘‘It’s a trade-off,’’ he said.

‘‘You usually try to find someone with the least culpability, the least guilt, who has some broader insight into the larger criminal enterprise,’’ he said. ‘‘And you cut that person a deal.’’

And that is how you become an FBI informant and government agent!
