Jerry Bohnen is the father of one of my good buddies. I played basketball with his son John, and John is now at West Point. I had no idea that he was involved in keeping the Feds' secrets under wrap, and knowing the man, I believe the only way that this could be true would be if he feared for his life.
What a sick, sick thing for the FBI to have on it's hands. The truth will probably never totally come out, and if it did, I believe only a handful of people like you and me would give a rat's ass.
I am certain your friend John earned and deserved his appointment to West Point, otherwise, he would not have been accepted to the Point.
An appointment usually requires a Congessional nomination, and quite frankly, had Bohnen publicly challenged the U.S. government's version of the events in OKC, it is very likely that his actions may have disqualified his son for the nomination/appointment. Considering the appointment is equivalent to a scholarship of about $250,000 and the fact that the entire OKC Police Department was prepared to ignore the murder of one of their own, how much are we to expect from one private citizen?
Tonia Yeakey went public with significantly more incriminating information than Bohnen had and her story, unfortunately, has made little difference because the public in general does not care. If Bohnen chose a well earned bright future for his son over exposing the truth to an audience who could care less, who could blame him?
