Steele: ‘Absolutely, Completely Not Guilty’

Appearing for the first time on federal charges related to an alleged murder-for-hire plot, Edgar Steele described himself Tuesday as a “frail” and “elderly” man who’s undergone four surgeries in the past six months, including open heart surgery. He also blasted the federal agents for seizing what he said were attorney-client files regarding federal cases with pending appeals. The 64-year-old attorney, known for his unsuccessful defense of the Aryan Nations in the landmark 2000 case that bankrupted the racist group, represented himself during the hearing and pleaded “absolutely, completely not guilty” to a charge that he hired a man to kill his wife and mother-in-law/ Meghann Cuniff , Sirens & Gavels.

Question: Isn’t it weird that a pipe bomb would be found in the undercarriage of Steele’s SUV, driven by his wife to Fast Lane Quick Lube, only hours before Steele faced federal charges on a murder-for-hire plot against his wife and mother-in-law?
