https://archive.is/Zwli2The FBI's use of the media to launder information is common knowledge. Earlier this month, the Office of the Inspector General wrote a report condemning the FBI's pervasive and illegal use of national media to prejudice the public in cases against defendants. At the time of the Pro Publica leak, Atomwaffen members suspected Sutter as the source and a potential infiltrator. Sutter and other agents were able to avoid blowing their cover by framing Brian Patrick Baynes, who was later arrested on specious gun charges, as the one who released the information. They were able to assuage fears of heat being brought their way by telling what was left of the group -- as many quit when Sutter and others transformed it into a satanic organization -- that all press is good press. Both Winston and Hanrahan appear to be genuinely shocked by the revelation that Sutter was working for the feds the whole time.
