I hold no brief for Matt Hale or his views, but you should have learned to be cautious of prosecutions built on provocateur testimony. I can't find anything with a quick search except this claim by Edgar Steele (of "Defensive Racism" fame"):
"An FBI plant, Anthony Evola, wormed his way into Hale's confidence and was named head of WCOTC's security force. Evola secretly recorded conversations with Hale that were, at worst, noncommittal concerning Evola's offer to "exterminate...the Jew rat" (a male Jew rat, as transcripts made clear). At one point, Hale was recorded as saying, "I'm going to fight within the law." Also, note that, while Judge Lefkow is married to a Jew, she herself is not Jewish, a fact known at the time to both Hale and the FBI. Hale's trial was a sham. The FBI plant, Evola, testified that, during a conversation wherein he asked if Hale wanted him to "get the rat," Hale nodded affirmatively. Never was any evidence presented other than that single bit of testimony concerning Hale's alleged approval of the FBI scheme..."
