Grand Jury Waste of Money, Time, Istook Says

U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook said Friday he thought taxpayers' money and grand jurors' time spent investigating the Oklahoma City bombing were being wasted on "wild-goose chases."
Istook, R-Warr Acres, voluntarily appeared before the grand jury to answer questions about allegations that he knew about a bomb threat to an Oklahoma City building before the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
"There's been some garbage thrown around. ... I think there is a lot of taxpayers' money being wasted on wild-goose chases with people claiming that somebody said something," Istook said.
Last month, two Oklahoma County reserve deputies said Istook told them the day of the bombing that "some right-wing fundamentalist Muslim group operating in Oklahoma City" had threatened a local building.
State Rep. Charles Key, R-Oklahoma City, first presented reserve deputies David Kochendorfer and Don Hammons in a Jan. 15 news conference at the downtown bomb site.
