"Was Ashcroft briefed on this"

I recall Ashcroft saying he had reviwed all the data and McVeigh was the only person responsible.
It seemed like Ashcroft was in a rush to close the door on any further investigations.
Why the rush to have the 1st federal execution in over 30 years?
Keep in mind that to this day Ashcroft has done nothing to either klintoon or reno.
Even before 9/11 he had nearly 9 months to do something.

Could be the high level undeerlings keeping this under wraps too.. what is Ashcroft going to say if the 20th Hijacker gives up the details of the McVeigh meeting?

As Attorney General, his only recourse is to blame his underlings for not properly handing the situation, or the media will eat him alive.

Your memory is correct. Many of us were completely dismayed. We'd hoped for better with the Bush admin.
