Any hope for a congressional investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing is over.

you may be right. appears that burton had his chain jerked much like congressman leach when he got too close to what happened in mena.

reser unfortunately gets the "lightening bolt" for seeking the truth.

the irony of the situation is if charged, reser may be able to subpeana the video tapes of the bombing to use in his defense. this may be the only way to get them out?

wonder what jayna davis & david shippers have to say about this development?

The following is a complete transcript of the preliminary hearing of Timothy McVeigh, held April 27, 1995 in Oklahoma City. The hearing established that there was probable cause to hold McVeigh over for trial for the bombing of a federal office building on April 19, 1995.

Testimony by FBI Agent Jon Hersley

Q. In your review of the surveillance photos, did you find any surveillance photos of that parking lot across the street from the Murrah Building?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

A. You characterized that as my review of the photographs. I was shown those particular photographs by Agent Lamar.

Q. Have you been shown a photograph of that particular parking lot, sir, across the street from the Murrah Building that includes the speeding Mercury in the photograph?

A. We don't know for sure yet. Those photographs are not real clear. They are taken from a pretty good distance away. There appears to be a light-colored car in the very vicinity where this witness testifies -- or provides the information was speeding away from. We are not able to determine yet if that is in fact the yellow Mercury.

Q. Can you clearly tell in the photographs that you have seen or have you been advised that you can clearly tell in the film the time of the explosion?

A. I'm not sure I understand your question.

Q. Well, I don't know how to -- can you tell in the film or the photographs when the explosion occurs?

A. The film that I viewed was before the explosion. I did not view the entire film. The pictures that were shown to me were before the explosion.

Q. The pictures that you saw of that particular parking lot -- now I'm talking about the parking lot across the street from the Murrah Building --

A. Right.

Q. -- in a northerly direction, that parking lot, there is film of that parking lot prior to the time of the explosion?

A. Yes.

Q. Correct?

A. Yes.

Q. Is it time-stamped so that you can tell a particular time of day on the 19th of April that that camera is viewing, scanning that parking lot?

A. Yes.

Q. Can you tell me where that particular camera was located?

A. I believe that particular camera was located on the apartment building there that we have been speaking of.

Q. So those were some more pictures from the Regency?

A. Yes, those are the pictures from the Regency.

Q. So the camera from the Regency -- is this the camera at the very top of the Regency Tower?

A. I don't know the exact location of the camera, but it kind of scans that whole area there, is what has been represented to me. It scans in front of the Tower building and also over towards the parking lot.

Don't forget the video of the Oklahoma State Trooper who pulled McVeigh over shortly after the blast, with video of those in the pickup that also pulled over when McVeigh was stopped.

If they had set McVeigh up to be stopped by removing or tinkering with the licence plate on his car, they wouldn't have pulled over, just kept on going and filed their report. But it certainly looks like someone with access to the car- perhaps the one who delivered it to the drop-off point for him- made it easy for that car to be spotted and stopped so the *suspect* could be easily apprehended.

On March 8, 1996, U.S. Federal Judge George Howard, Jr., ruled that Terry Reed could not introduce any evidence related to his "participation in missions sponsored by the FBI, the CIA or any other agency of the United States government. . . as well as any operations conducted in Southwest Arkansas regarding the training of Nicaraguan nationals. . . any reference to President or Governor Bill Clinton and/or Hillary Clinton and the Mena or Nella airports. Further, any reference to Dan Lasater. . . any reference to a business relationship of Barry Seal and Dan Lasater. . . and the Arkansas Development and Finance Authority."--The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: the unreported stories, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, Regnery, 1997, pp 353-354.

Reser serves as a poison pill to close an investigation headed in an embarrassing direction.

Nichols met with Islamist terrorists in the Philippines.

McVeigh reconnoitered targets with Andreas Carl Strassmeier, German panzer lieutenant trained in intelligence, son of a German minister--who left the country.

McVeigh and Nichols were tutored in ANFO by FBI informant Dennis Mahon--at large.

ATF informant Carol Howe sounded the alarm, but the FBI would not raid Elohim City.

Howe was smeared on phonied up charges.
