If you are an anti-government activist it's important that you not shoot your mouth off to undercover federal agents even if you are just blowing smoke. Even if what you are saying is constitutionally protected political speech. But be that as it may, the US attorney's office in Detroit is making as much adverse information available as possible to the media in order to thoroughly poison the potential jury pool against the so-called Hutaree militia group. And as for any due process rights, well as some famous prosecutor once bragged that he could get a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich" if he wanted to.
The trouble with this whole case is that the feds seem to have facilitated and encouraged these guys every step of the way. I just hope their lawyers make that fact clear to the jury that is gonna try this case, and that it helps. Angry talk isn't the same as terrorism.
