Matsch’s Court in Colorado was obviously especially selected by Attorney General Janet Reno and minions in the Justice Department.
From the beginning, Matsch made absolute sure that the whole truth of the Oklahoma City bombing would never get out. Judge Matsch severely limited the evidence that McVeigh’s defense team could present to the jury. When McVeigh’s lawyers early on complained that the FBI and prosecutors were withholding documentation, Matsch shut them up. When they attempted to demonstrate that other individuals—and federal law enforcement—may have been involved or had advance knowledge of the bombing, Matsch refused to allow it.
