the FBI had a plan to arrest him if and when his alleged link to Spain's attack "gets outed by the media."

"The powers that be are trying to hold off as long as possible on any arrest, but they want to make sure an arrest happens before anything hits the media,"

In a telephone interview, Gerry Spence, a lawyer representing Mayfield in his lawsuit against the government, said that the more troubling issue is the admission that there was no enough evidence to arrest Mayfield in the first place.

"Here the government is saying we don't have any grounds to hold him criminally, but if the media outs him then we are going to hold him as a material witness," Spence said.

"What's astonishing to me is the idea of waiting until he's outed by the media to then arrest him as a material witness — they either have the appropriate evidence to arrest him or they don't,"
