Seth Rosenfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seth Rosenfeld is a reporter and author. He won the 2013 Ridenhour Prize for books Subversives: The FBI's War on Student Radicals, and Reagan's Rise to Power.
On August 20, 2012, Rosenfeld's report for the Center for Investigative Reporting alleged that Richard Aoki was an FBI informant who had infiltrated chapters of the Communist Party, the Socialist Workers' Party and, nearly from its inception, the Black Panther Party.[1] In response to a FOIA request by Rosenfeld, it was revealed that a November 16, 1967 FBI intelligence report listed Aoki as an informant with the code number "T-2". FBI agent Burney Threadgill Jr. also said that he worked with Aoki, stating, "He was my informant. I developed him."[2]
