There is more crap layered on this case than a triple-tier wedding cake with J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson on top in tutus.
Cutting the deck of Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, Regnery, 1997, to Chapter Five, "Carol Howe", pp 53-75, there is enough to indict the FBI for suppressing prior knowledge several times over.
Carol Howe was the confidential informant under ATF agent Angela Finley who gathered incriminating evidence against Dennis Mahon, Andreas Carl Strassmeir, and Timothy McVeigh as it related to Elohim City.
Strassmeir and Mahon had taken three trips to Oklahoma City in November, 1994; December 1994, and February 1995.
Through Howe's work, the ATF was preparing to raid Elohim City--but was stopped by the FBI February 22, 1995. [page 63].
The rest is the FBI CYA tapeloop of smearing key witnesses and intentionally misspelling proper names, denying, stonewalling, and blocking publication: ABC assistant producer, retired Marine Lt. Col. Roger Charles, spoke out in protest, accusing Peter Jennings of caving in to political pressure. He was fired immediately. [page 72]
It is all too deja vu of the long, rocky trail of FOIA pioneer Harold Weisberg, who spent decades suing the Justice Department and disputing the weaselly lies of the FBI re the smoke and mirrors of "evidence" in the JFK bon voyage party.
It has never been satisfactorily explained how an illegal alien, Andreas Strassmeir, Panzer Lieutenant trained in intelligence, could have "discussed assassinations, bombings and mass shootings" as "direct action against the U.S. government", could cruise on back to Deutchland uber Alice and the rest of the agents in tutus.
The ATF bleating how it heroically broke out of jammed elevators to rescue survivors.
No, Mueller isn't letting the substrate breathe. Bob in New York has repeatedly said Freeh was covered in pizza.
Clinton was facing slumping poll numbers in 1995, yet after April 19, enjoyed an eleven-point rebound, and blamed his Reichstag Fire on hate radio.
This is the FBI which handed over a thousand files on der Felatee's enemies, and arranged for Special Agent Dennis Sculimbrene to just miss having his head severed with a propeller for naming Hillary as the hirer of Craig.
Which brings us back to O'Reilly whose only email to me was in defence of Hillary against the mass-forwarded email in mid-2000 charging her with having defended Black Panther murderers while at Yale Law.
And the New York Times purchases KFOR and wants Jayna Davis' sources--this is too much like Reno wanting the confidential Chinagate informants.
Intelligence, both domestic (FBI) and foreign (CIA), remains obsessed with its own CYA operations while remaining subservient to political considerations.
Cue Seinfeld: Not that there's anything WRONG with that.
