New Info on Auburn 3 Case

Though the following all apparently came out in open court, it is interesting that almost none of the mainstream media sources covering the case decided to report the following. The source for this is a Fresno Bee article published Jan. 22, which was the only place I’ve seen this come out:

- the FBI paid the approximately 20-year-old “Confidential Source” in the case - who seems to be the lynch-pin for the whole case - about $75,000 (plus expenses) over the two years she was “embedded” with the group. This means she was approximately 18 or 19 when she started working for the FBI.
- the FBI paid for a house in California where the small group allegedly met to “plot” the action in the weeks before the arrest.
- the FBI provided money to the Confidential Source to buy “bomb-making materials” for the group
- the Confidential Source was apparently a very active member in the group, authoring part of a book on the group’s plans
