BISMARCK, North Dakota -- The FBI informants at Standing Rock often provided third-hand information and rumors, and some were just reporting information from telephone calls, and e-mails, and were not at the camps.

The only FBI weapons investigation was the one resulting from the handgun brought to camp by the FBI's paid informant Heath Harmon, FBI testimony reveals in the current federal case.

"Some of the informants may have never entered the camp, but obtained their information by telephone or e-mail or third-hand," said FBI Special Agent Robert 'Bob' Perry. Perry was in executive management in the FBI's Minneapolis office and responsible for the Dakotas.
