Twenty years ago, on 19 April 1995, a disaffected veteran named Timothy McVeigh drove a Ryder truck stuffed with explosives into downtown Oklahoma City and destroyed a federal office building, killing 168 people, including 19 children, and maiming hundreds of others. That much we know.
We also know that, within 90 minutes of the bombing, McVeigh was pulled over near the Kansas border and arrested, alone, at the wheel of a glaringly improbable getaway car, an ancient, spluttering rust bucket of a Mercury sedan with no licence plates, which made him a sitting duck for any passing highway patrolman.
How could such a callous, carefully planned attack have come to such an incongruously slapdash end? After a vast investigation headed by the FBI, three trials mounted against McVeigh and his co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, and an avalanche of court documents, there is still no definitive answer to that question.
Perhaps the most striking thing about the Oklahoma City bombing – by far the most destructive act perpetrated by a home-grown assailant against fellow Americans – is not how much we’ve learned over the past 20 years but rather how much we still do not know.

However - this article misses the elephant in the room questions that Jayna Davis and many others have regarding the Islamic connection.
Speaking of government, have you seen this?

Why were the two executed so swiftly?
They sure killed McVeigh quickly as I recall.
I recall seeing a sketch of a probable accomplice, or even THE perp, called John Doe or some anonymous name.
People speculated Bill Clinton needed a white boy to blame.
Why was Lee Harvey Oswald executed so swiftly?
The Shadow Givernment has been IN CHARGE for a good while...
Proof: Myth Romney winning the 2012 republican primarys..
Back as far as the Clintoon’s two terms.. maybe even George Bush Sr..
The GOPe have become post turtles.. but who put them on the post..
Oursourced to a private contractor.
I’m still looking for those “Five men of swarthy, middle eastern complexion, last seen in blue jogging suits running from the scene.” that ABC said for everyone to look out for.
There are numerous questions about this, and connections to the FBI and Bill Clinton. For instance, there is considerable evidence that the building would not have collapsed without explosives wrapped around the pillars in the basement—an inside job. And Timothy McVeigh had connections with Muslim terrorists, but was not a conservative.
But Bill & Hill successfully made out that this was part of a “Right Wing Conspiracy.”
Curiously, the authorities buried all the evidence.
Probably, too, there was a connection with the Waco killings, another Clinton killing that was blamed on the Vast Right Wing Conspirators. There were numerous discrepancies there, too, and the Clintons wanted to take attention away from them with another mass killing.
There were thousands of threads on these subjects back in the Clinton days.
I was watching the TV news. Moments after the blast, they reported that the police were searching for several Middle Eastern-looking men who were apparently seen in the area.
After about one hour, that part of the reporting was dropped.
Per other later investigations, that was about the same time that the FBI in Washington ‘sent’ a letter (originating from one Jamie Gorelick). Soon thereafter, President Clinton was on the news blaming — Rush Limbaugh.

Per Jayne Davis, some two-dozen area surveillence videos were confiscated by the FBI.

Those videos were supposedly sent to DC and were ‘filed’ under ‘never to see the light of day again’ file. None of them have ever been shows to the public.
***I recall seeing a sketch of a probable accomplice***
I remember seeing the tape of McVeigh being lead out in jail clothes, one of the guards near the camera looks in the camera’s direction, and is a spitting image of the sketch of the accomplice.
“Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
— Government Quotes, by Louis D. Brandeis , Source: part of his dissent in the case “Olmstead v. United States”, 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928)
Terry Nichols is alive. Just torture the guy and his family members to get the answers. The problem with this case and 9/11 were the people in charge who were willing to swept it under the rug for some other purpose.
See Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution.
The reason a lot was covered up is there was no way to come out with the truth without exposing the Clinton adm as having known about the bomb plot probably up to a year in advance.
Clinton allowed the bombing for political reasons and to stop any questions about Waco.
Dead men tell no tales.
If I recall correctly, the lack of plates on his car was supposed to be a political statement by NcVeigh. He was, after all, attacking the government. Maybe he just couldn't see past his anger at governmental authority to fix up his getaway car. Maybe he wanted to be caught in order to take credit for his act. Is there any evidence that there were any further steps to his getaway plan?
Did they ever find out who was the owner of the spare leg?

BTW how to make an ANFO bomb was no big mystery even 20 years ago.
McVeigh was executed.
