I remmber at the time Clinton administration did not want to make waves with the mistery man... instead they focused on the evil white man with the NRA propensities. OKC has OBL fingerprints all over it... I guess when they saw nothing was being done why point the finger to yourself?
U.S. Secretly Detained bin Laden Brother-in-Law For Four Months (Gorelick and OKC Blast mentioned)
The U.S. government secretly detained Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law for four months in 1995, after the INS announced he had already been deported to Jordan, according to documents obtained by INTELWIRE using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
The Jordan deportation was authorized by then-Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick, at the request of Secretary of State Warren Christopher.

Gorelick's role in signing the Jordan deportation letter may have been a routine administrative task, but it raises questions that cannot be answered until the full facts of the case are known. The document does not suggest that Gorelick was responsible for initiating Khalifa's deportation proceedings. The deportation was formally requested by Secretary of State Warren Christopher one day earlier, in a letter to Attorney General Janet Reno obtained by INTELWIRE.
FReeper Research: GORELICK WORKED WITH RICHARD CLARKE! (HHS website transcript)
[From Post 21:] Although Davis does not document Gorelick's role in Oklahoma City, media accounts routinely describe her as the director of the Oklahoma City task force, the so-called "field commander." As Davis has told me, someone in Washington called the FBI in Oklahoma City and issued a two-word directive on its investigation into Islamic terrorism: "Kill it."
If that person is not Jamie Gorelick, perhaps she could tell the 9-11 Commission who it is.
Why FBI missed Islamic threat: Agents: Clinton shifted counterterror efforts
After the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, President Clinton made great political hay of the tragedy by drawing parallels between the anti-government extremists behind the plot and the anti-big-government Republican revolution that had swept Congress.
Also, [Robert] Bryant moved FBI counterterrorism analysts over to tracking right-wing groups. He eventually grouped all analysts together at headquarters, putting them under operations staff in what he called the Investigative Support Division, whereupon agents say analysts were constantly being diverted to areas other than their specialty, such as helping in criminal prosecutions.
Around the same time, he moved the bureau's counterterrorism programs under its National Security Division, and "de-emphasized" the bureau's counterintelligence program, agents say.
They say intelligence-gathering on foreign threats suffered as a result.
