The
rogue security agent whose actions helped spark the downfall of 2010
U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller, a Fairbanks Republican, has finally
revealed what he was thinking when he handcuffed an Alaska Dispatch
reporter after a Miller rally in October 2010. What no one but William
Fulton and a few federal official knew at the time was that Fulton was a
paid informant working for the FBI, and apparently he had an agenda to
undermine Miller’s campaign.
The story Fulton tells is now raising new
and troubling questions about the behavior of Alaska FBI agents, who
were already being investigated in 2010 for their roles in railroading
the late U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, from office. Stevens was
convicted in 2008 of failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts and
subsequently lost election to now Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska. The guilty
verdicts against Stevens were tossed the next spring, but his
reputation remained sullied. He died in a plane crash in Southwest
Alaska in August 2010 while fighting to clear his name.
As the Justice Department was investigating
FBI actions in the Stevens case in the summer and fall of that year,
the FBI had moved on to investigating Alaska militias. It hired Fulton,
the owner of an Anchorage military surplus store called “Drop Zone” and a
sometime-security consultant, to infiltrate those organizations. Fulton
has now told the Huffington Post that he thought putting the cuffs on
Tony Hopfinger, the co-owner and editor of Dispatch, while working for
Miller, a conservative Republican, appeared a great idea. Fulton said it
bolstered his image with the militias.
