Max Blumenthal explores whether newly-elected New Jersey Chris Christie granted legal protection to Neo-Nazi radio host Hal Turner for his undercover role in a federal program to “flush out” violent far-right plots…

Turner walked out of a Brooklyn courtroom a free man on December 7, after being charged by federal prosecutors with incitement for urging his listeners to kill three judges who issued rulings supporting gun control. He escaped conviction when the jury deadlocked, forcing mistrial. But Turner will return to trial soon –a retrial was scheduled for March 1 in Brooklyn, where the case was moved based on a change-of-venue request — as well as in Connecticut, where he faces state charges for telling his followers to “take up arms” against state lawmakers who voted to give Catholic lay members more control over church finances.
