The Clinton administration is being protected "for the good of the country". What a joke.

It ain't exactly so. There is a some shared goal between the two administrations. The muslim radicals somehow serve that goal. We are still waging a war on "terrorism" not on "Islamic radicalism". And that is the root of the problem. What we endure is likely being treated as "collateral damage".

...corrupt Clinton Administration would chose not to prosecute... [but that a]... "free press" has completely ignored...

We have a free Hollywood too, but don't expect an Oliver Stone like movie about the Democrats or Clinton. For the same reason, don't expect relevations from our "free press." The culture of both Hollywood and the media is just not favorably disposed to developing any material that is harmful to the Left. Anyone in the industry foolhardy enough to try is pilloried as an example to the rest.

Regardless of who committed the OKC bombing, I found the government's haste to clear the site and get rid of the rubble sort of curious. Rather than do an extensive investigation, they wanted to plow the side under very quickly.

The Clintons used the OKC tragedy to make a comeback. Remember, people were discussing (after Newt's Contract with America gave the Republicans a majority in the House) whether Clinton was still "relevant" as a president. In a matter of hours after the OKC bombing, the term "hate radio" swept the country. Conservative talk show hosts backed off in a big way. Even Rush spent the next year talking about the tobacco industry and its lawsuits.

There was a rush to paint the situation as "domestic terrorism" and it made militias, patriot groups, and conservative talk radio the villains.
