As FBI inspector for the FBI’s OKC Bomb Task force and based on his interview with Partin, Defenbaugh may have participated in an FBI cover-up of the methods used in bombing the Murrah Building. It is believed that Defenbaugh’s FBI agents covered up alleged government foreknowledge and sting operations leading up to the OKC bombing, threatened and improperly discounted John Doe witnesses, and deliberately lied about, falsified, withheld and suppressed evidence material to the OKC bombing case.
Defenbaugh and some his fellow FBI agents in my opinion are guilty of criminal negligence and criminal obstruction of justice. Their continued misrepresentations and denials have convinced me that Defenbaugh and some in the FBI are still more interested in protecting themselves than US citizens from terrorist attacks. Congress should investigate the FBI and remove Defenbaugh and other culpable FBI agents from the FBI and have them prosecuted for any crimes they may have committed in the OKC bombing case.
If Defenbaugh and FBI should claim that fully investigating him and the FBI on these matters under oath in Congress would undermine Federal law enforcement, I hope the public and Congress will realize that not addressing and resolving the questions adequately will in fact further undermine the public’s lack of trust in the FBI and Federal law enforcement in their ability to protect innocent Americans from further terror attacks and further loss of freedoms.
Of course, there sadly is always the prospect the Congress (because of cowardice and being compromised by accepting FBI failed policies) will do nothing adequate or that a special investigator like Danforth will be appointed to white wash the whole mishandling of the OKC case by the FBI and the Federal government. It is very difficult to get the Federal government to do a good job of investigating the Federal government.
It is not likely that the Senate Judiciary will do the things necessary in their hearing this Thursday to fully investigate and clean up the FBI and DOJ and hold FBI agents and FBI officials like Danny Defenbaugh accountable (prison, loss of pension, etc). This will lead to even greater tragedies from future terror attacks since the FBI has still not changed the failed FBI policy of letting known Middle Eastern terrorists into the US and follow them around for years without arresting or deporting them before the FBI loses track of them and they set up more terror cells and commit more terror acts.

big SJC bump!
FBI Director Louis Freeh testified before Congress in May 1995 after the OKC bombing that the FBI was following a policy of helping known Middle eastern terrorists enter the US on students visas (taking advantage of the weaknesses in the INS known to the FBI) so the FBI could follow them for years in the US.
The FBI followed 9/11 airline hijacker Mohammed Atta in the US for years (told VP of flight school in OK in 1999 that FBI knew Atta was training for a terror mission using airliners) without arresting him and while knowing he was on an illegal terror mission and yet the FBI says they lost track of him just before the 9/11 attacks.
The FBI followed Ali Mohammed in the US and around the world from 1992 until 1998 while he worked for Bin Laden to set up AlQaeda terror cells in the US and helped in the 1993 WTC and Kenyan and Tanzanian bombings (may have helped in OKC bombing too). Yet former CIA counter terrorism official Larry Johnson told Congress last year that the FBI policy failed because the FBI also lost track of Ali Mohammed who the FBI knew all along was a double agent. These terrorist groups aided by the FBI for tracking purposes are now known to include Hamas, Abu Nidal and Alqaeda in the US.
The FBI policy of following known terrorists in the US for a long time as described by Freeh to Congress is still being practiced by the FBI and this is still known to Congressmen. A high level and veteran reporter and investigator for ABC at the Pentagon who knows Jesse Clear told me three weeks ago that he agreed with my assessment of the failed FBI policy of following ME terrorists for years when they commit terror acts like 9/11. The veteran ABC reporter called the FBI policy “stupid”.
Please send copies of the article and the announcement of the Judiciary Hearings to local and national news media and to all your friends and neighbors. If no one in the media will do anything about this situation now, my hope is that if we have a strong and detailed enough paper trail, that maybe after the next terror attack they will then start paying attention and do more reporting then to help start turning things around.
So far Homeland Security has only managed to spend more money and take away more freedoms from law abiding citizens and publicize more terror alerts. It is a joke so far. But if they ever develop a better anthrax vaccine and create more doses of samll pox vaccine I suppose you could say they will have done some good.
Right now I feel like innocents in America are doomed to be inadequately protected from terror attacks by the FBI. Self defense and vigilance for oneself and neighbors is the best thing for now since we can no longer rely on the FBI to help us.
