Inmate accused of plot to kill judge in his case
Dennis Wagner The Arizona Republic Jan. 18, 2003 12:00 AM
A Mesa constitutionalist serving prison time for machine gun possession has been charged with soliciting the assassination of a federal judge who sentenced him.
According to an FBI affidavit, Robert D. Stewart, 63, asked a fellow prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution north of Phoenix to kill U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn O. Silver, setting off "a 'copy cat' string of murders of government officers . . . by the militia."
The affidavit, signed by FBI Agent Michael Gallante, says Stewart approached inmate August C. Weiss in August and asked, "Could you off someone for me?" When Weiss indicated he might, Stewart allegedly said, "Good, there's a federal judge and some prosecutors that I'd like offed."
Weiss notified federal agents and was given a polygraph test before he was wired with a recording device for another meeting with Stewart.
During the taped conversation, Weiss indicated that his brother would handle the hit. Stewart is suspected of having offered to pay more than $100,000 in machine guns and cash, then warned that Weiss and his brother needed to be wary of government surveillance. The affidavit says Stewart provided Weiss with a description of Silver and instructions on how to locate her.
U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton charged Stewart with one count of retaliating against a federal judge and two counts of lying to FBI agents after he was confronted about the plot. Stewart maintains he was "set up" by Weiss, and denied an active role. However, he agreed that "he wouldn't have any heartache if she (Silver) accidentally walked in front of a bus, either."
Three months earlier, Silver sentenced Stewart to five years in prison, a $20,000 fine and 500 hours of community service.
At a news conference Friday, Charlton lamented a "dramatic increase in the number of threats and acts of violence against members of the criminal justice system." He said the government will be dogged in pursuing those responsible, and added: "No investigation will ever be deterred . . . and no judge will ever by stopped" by murder plots or intimidation.
Stewart, a former high school history teacher, was unavailable for comment. He was convicted six years ago in Utah for illegal possession of a machine gun. In June 2000, federal agents raided his Mesa home and discovered machine guns, an automatic shotgun known as a "streetsweeper," a kit to build .50 caliber weapons, and other firearms.
Maadi Griffin Case
Robert Stewart, the manufacture of the Maadi Griffin .50 BMG rifle is being prosecuted by the federal government on several charges relating to his sale of a kit version of his rifle. The kit included all parts for the rifle, with the exception of the receiver. Rather than a receiver, the kit included a block of metal that the purchaser could mill into a receiver if he desired. Because the BATF defines a receiver as a firearm, but a collection of gun parts without a receiver as not a firearm, Mr. Stewartââ¬â¢s kit was not a firearm and therefore not subject to federal laws and BATF regulations relating to the manufacture and sale of firearms. The ATF contends that it was a firearm because it was readily convertable into a firearm. You can donate to Robert Stewarts legal fund at

Threats against government officials are the rise? Perhaps that's because democracy has been subverted in this nation at every level.
What are out duties to uphold the laws of state that selectively enforces statutes against white males, but lets millions of non-white illegal aliens break the law?

I think the whole thing is made up by the Feds.
"According to an FBI affidavit, Robert D. Stewart, 63, asked a fellow prisoner... to kill U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn O. Silver, setting off "a 'copy cat' string of murders of government officers . . . by the militia." ...
During the taped conversation, Weiss indicated that his brother would handle the hit. Stewart is suspected of having offered to pay more than $100,000 in machine guns and cash,... (Well is it on tape?)
U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton charged Stewart with one count of retaliating against a federal judge and two counts of lying to FBI agents after he was confronted about the plot. Stewart maintains he was "set up" by Weiss, and denied an active role. "
Stewart does not have any money! The Feds and the courts frees took everything he had. He going to pay someone $100,000? Sue.
