It’s a dangerous business, working for the FBI.

Erick Jamal Hendricks, who introduced an undercover agent to one of the Draw Muhammad attackers, released a statement from jail after he was indicted on terrorism charges.

Federal prosecutors and the FBI say while Hendricks lived in Columbia, South Carolina he used social media to recruit converts to the Islamic State.

The Charlotte Observer reported on Friday:

He also claims to have been an outspoken and longtime opponent of radical Islam. “I have publicly, privately and consistently denounced Al-Qaeda, ISIS and all extremist groups,” Hendricks said in a statement that Lisa Woods says her son dictated during a Wednesday phone call from the jail. “I am baffled as to why the FBI (is) accusing me of terrorist ties.”

The FBI is known to turn on its trusted operatives.

Radio talk show host Hal Turner discovered as much in 2008. He spent nearly three years in prison after threatening three federal judges.

“Hal Turner, rising in fame as the most blatant hate talk radio host, self-proclaimed neo-nazi, antisemite, racist who hinted at the need to eradicate Jews—turns out to have been fronting a typical FBI COINTELPRO sting operation,” writes Richard Evans. Hackers managed to gain access to his forum server and revealed correspondence with an FBI agent who was apparently Turner’s handler.

“I don’t think he was a racist. He was doing a lot of those things at the behest of the FBI,” said Turner’s attorney, Michael A. Orozco.

If Erick Jamal Hendricks can be believed, he was also doing things at the behest of the FBI.
