1) 8-4-16 Hendricks told the FBI operative that he wanted to construct a training center “hidden in plain sight … Farm, house, garden, tunnels,” Hare said in the affidavit.
In communications with others, he claimed to have 10 operatives in the United States and hoped to raid military depots for weapons, authorities said….
Hendricks kept in contact with the FBI operative and at least two other confidential informants on the federal payroll, authorities say. He changed online identities regularly and instructed them on security protocols so they wouldn’t be detected by federal investigators, records said.
At one point, the government said, Hendricks told the FBI operative that he worked full-time as a recruiter and “It’s hard to sift through brothers” and “Allah chooses only the few.”

2) 8-4-16 According to ABC News, Hendricks allegedly told a person about his intentions to create a “sleeper cell” within the United States and “mentioned military members as potential targets,” the complaint said.
The Justice Department claims that Hendricks said he had 10 people signed up for the cell, ABC says. The U.S. Attorney’s release says “Hendricks allegedly told another person that his goal was to create a sleeper cell to be trained and housed at a secure compound that would conduct attacks in the United States. He mentioned that potential targets included military members whose information had been released by ISIL.” https://heavy.com/news/2016/08/erick-hendricks-jamal-isis-isil-charlotte-north-carolina-islam-muslim-complaint-sleeper-cell-ohio-military-elton-simpson-garland-al-ghazi/

-Hendricks A Charlotte man accused of recruiting for the Islamic State claims that he worked for years with the FBI to identify potential terrorists. Erick Jamal Hendricks, 35, is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization. In Hendricks’ case, that group is ISIS….
“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.”
But Hendricks also had ties to a mosque in Virginia that has been linked to an Islamic organization whose members have included terrorists linked to the 9-11 bombings and Al-Qaeda.
Federal prosecutors and the FBI say the Arkansas native spent months in 2015 trying to recruit ISIS sympathizers online and through social media to train and unleash terrorist attacks in the United Sates for ISIS. He was unaware he was communicating with an FBI operative, bureau informants and an admitted ISIS sympathizer who was arrested in Ohio after he illegally bought an assault rifle, authorities say.

4) 2-10-17 Hendricks says he had been paid by the FBI since 2009 to help identify potential terrorists. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State.
More details emerged in December in court records in Kareem’s (Kareem, Arizona supplier of assault rifles to the two hitmen at Garland) case, revealing for the first time the officer’s proximity to the shooters.
Kareem’s attorney said in court records that Hendricks put the undercover agent into contact with Simpson (a hitman at Garland) about 10 days before the attack. In one encounter with the agent, Simpson, who had a prior terrorism-related conviction, referred to the upcoming contest in Texas. https://www.apnews.com/61e5b192871c4bedb49d03e2542a11e4

5) 3-30-17 a separate informant was paid $132,000 by the FBI to pretend for three years to be friends with the future shooter. When the man (Simpson) found out his supposed friend had taped more than 1,500 hours of their conversations on behalf of the intelligence agency, he withdrew from his religious community and eventually fell into online religious extremism....
The Intercept has noted "a now-familiar FBI pattern whereby the agency does not disrupt planned domestic terror attacks but rather creates them, then publicly praises itself for stopping its own plots." https://www.salon.com/2017/03/30/tear-up-texas-how-the-fbi-played-a-central-role-in-the-first-isis-attack-on-u-s-soil_partner/

6) 4-24-17 The question he's asking is: Is the FBI's undercover work so important that it's willing to allow a terrorist event to take place just to maintain the operation?
6) 4-24-17 The question he's asking is: Is the FBI's undercover work so important that it's willing to allow a terrorist event to take place just to maintain the operation?
Joiner's attorney, Trenton Roberts of Houston, believes the FBI agent did decide to stand down in order to keep his cover. Roberts says because there are so many unusual facts to that day, only one or two theories can actually fit all the evidence.
"It seems like it had to have been one or the other," Roberts told the Washington Examiner. "Just a complete botched operation where they [the FBI] don't want the attack to actually take place, or, it's something where they need the attack to take place in order for this guy [the agent] to advance in the world of ISIS."
"And that's really what I think. I think that they thought, 'he's undercover and in order to advance, he needed to get pictures or video of this attack,' and then that would bolster his street cred within ISIS," Roberts said.
Roberts said he and his client didn't start off by pushing conspiracies as to what happened that day. He also said his client would prefer to really know what happened that day over taking a settlement check from the government to make his case against the FBI go away.
"It is accusatory," Roberts acknowledged of his theory. "But at this point, I do feel like when the FBI has given so few answers, and there's been so many opportunities to do so, you have to conclude that there must be something really worth covering up." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/garland-terror-victim-to-fbi-did-you-sit-on-your-hands-while-i-got-shot/article/2621121

8) On May 3, the day of the attack, the undercover agent traveled to the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland and messaged Hendricks, saying he was nearby. Hendricks asked a series of questions about the security and media presence and urged the agent to target the organizer of the event, Pamela Geller. (She paid $10,000 to local security to cover her event.)
"If you see that pig make your 'voice' heard against her," Hendricks wrote. He also asked the agent if he was armed, and the agent replied that he had "tools of the trade" and "not a small hand tool." (Hendricks trial probably in 2018)
