Atty also wants info on FBI vetting process on CHSs.
"We would like whatever documentation the FBI uses in the vetting and validation process. We know for a fact...that FBI has nondisclosure agreement with CHS Steve." Robeson is a convicted felon who committed at least...

2 other crimes while he worked as one of the lead informants in the caper. DOJ won't call him as a govt witness--DOJ also removed top 3 FBI agents from the case.
Defense notes that CHS Steve was head of Wisc 3 percenter then made Adam Fox head of Michigan 3 percenters.

Defense says CHS Steve undermines credibility of government's case.
"If we call these witnesses as hostile witnesses and we can't impeach them...it's categorically unfair. Impeaching him is part of the process."
Says Fox would not be head of 3 percenters without FBI involvement

Another defense atty argues how much CHS Steve, who organized every meeting and recruited defendants to attend, was paid shows motivation for what CHS Steve did.
CHS Steve paid at least $20k -- not clear if it's reimbursements or compensation. Asking about nondisclosure...

"government put a gag order on a fact witness."
Atty again argues FBI created Three Percenters in WI and MI (WOW) and CHS Steve organized key meeting in Ohio in June 2020 to set up the defendants.

DOJ: Will provide Brady/Giglio on CHS Dan today. It's 3 pages. (Dan was paid around $50k)
DOJ won't call CHS Jenny and won't provide any info.
Judge asks DOJ if defense asks Jenny to testify, will DOJ will provide info. He says yes, will be similar to Dan's.
Now to CHS Steve..
DOJ won't call CHS Jenny and won't provide any info.
Judge asks DOJ if defense asks Jenny to testify, will DOJ will provide info. He says yes, will be similar to Dan's.
Now to CHS Steve..
DOJ says his file is larger because Steve was a "problematic" source. DOJ has not furnished account of how much Steve was paid by FBI.
DOJ says payments to CHS Steve were both for services and reibursements.
DOJ says idea FBI created Three Percenters is a "red herring."

Judge orders private viewing of nondisclosure since defense hasn't seen it.
