It has been said that Clinton was relieved to find evidence of a right wing connection with Mcveigh because he was under heavy fire from the right and this gave him the ammunition to fire back and discredit his accusers.

No one ever accused Clinton of being slow on the uptake. He immediately gave the orders to his minions to kill any word of a foreign involvement. A homegrown rightwing terrorist was a made to order target for the Clintons. It was not only less threatening to the public, but it made all the Clinton scandals seem irrelevant.

The real question is why did the republicans go along with it. If this is true and I don't doubt it.

Clinton has said that the OKC bombing was the most important event in his first term as far as being reelected. You are absolutely right that that event brought negative attention to the right wing. Remember the national townhall meetings with the Michigan militia? The public, which was catching on to Clinton, was forced to cozy up to him after seeing those inarticulate, cammy-clad dufuses, as they appeared on the TV.

It was also the time that Clinton was trying to take our guns away...which almost succeeded. He blamed the Militias and made us look like crazies.
