What’s the FBI Hiding? Agency Claims it “Lost” Videotape of OK City Bombing


By Debbie Schlussel



More famous incompetence from Famous But Incompetent a/k/a the FBI. Can you believe the FBI accidentally “lost” videotapes of the Oklahoma City bombing, one of the largest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil? I don’t believe it either. And neither does attorney Jesse Trentadue. But that’s what the feds are claiming. Funny how the FBI never loses evidence . . . unless it’s convenient (as they did in the Sami Al-Arian trial). And anytime they are Forever Buttkissing Islam, per usual.











Famous But Incompetent “Loses” OK City Bombing Video



Trentadue has done a great deal of investigation–good, old-fashioned digging–to show that others, likely Islamic terrorists, were involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, betraying the false claim of organized Muslims, who constantly cite the attack as an example of massive non-Islamic terrorism on U.S. soil. As I’ve repeatedly noted, Jayna Davis–an Oklahoma City television reporter at the time of the bombing–uncovered FBI reports, etc., confirming that a Muslim man, Hussain Al-Hussaini, who worked for Saddam Hussein was seen with bombing perpetrator Timothy McVeigh when he rented the van used in the attack. Al-Hussaini was also seen with McVeigh repeatedly surrounding the time of the explosion. That much the FBI admits, but won’t give a plausible explanation regarding the agency’s claim he had nothing to do with the attacks.



As I’ve been noting for some time, more and more information has come out about John Doe #2 in the Oklahoma City bombing and alleged Muslim involvement in the attacks, including an FBI memo discussing it. Now Trentadue has uncovered something else. Using the Freedom of Information Act, he sought the FBI videotape of the actual bombing. And the FBI claims it “can’t find” the tapes. They are “lost.”



Do you believe it? If so, I have some land under the J. Edgar Hoover building to sell you. Clearly, there is something on that tape that isn’t meant for public eyes, at least as far as the FBI is concerned. What is it? And why–if the tapes are truly lost (which is hard to believe)–would video of one of the largest attacks against Americans on U.S. soil, be so easily misplaced and not kept safely?



The FBI has not found videotapes from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that are being sought by a Utah lawyer and do not believe another records search is reasonable or will uncover the information, the agency has told a federal judge.



FBI officials are “unaware of the existence or likely location of additional tapes” that would fulfill the Freedom of Information Act request filed by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, agency attorneys said in court papers filed last week.



Trentadue sued the FBI and the CIA in 2008 to get the videos and contended the FBI’s efforts to locate the information have been inadequate. He is looking for surveillance tapes taken the morning of the bombing from exterior cameras on the Murrah building and dashboard camera video from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s arrest of Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh was convicted of and executed for the bombing.



Trentadue asserts that the videos exist and will expose that others were involved in the domestic terrorist attack that killed 168 people.



But attorneys for the agency said the electronic databases have not turned up the records, nor have manual searches of FBI crime labs, evidence centers or a warehouse in Oklahoma City. A further search of a records cache totaling an estimated 450,000 documents — from just the first 14 days of the investigation — in the warehouse would be “unreasonably burdensome” and could take a single staff person more than 18 months to conduct, court papers said.



The conclusions were included in a court-ordered explanation of the FBI’s response to the records request. U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups had ordered the agency to provide a detailed explanation of its records search last month.



The judge will consider the response in deciding whether the FBI complied with federal information laws in Trentadue’s case. It was not clear when the judge might rule.



Trentadue said in an email to The Associated Press that the government’s explanations don’t provide any new information.



“In short, nothing but more of the same institutionalized dishonesty, deception and disrespect for the Constitution,” Trentadue wrote.



Trite but true: where there’s smoke there’s fire. And there’s enough smoke here to flavor all of Alaska’s salmon. Hussain Al-Hussaini wasn’t hanging out with McVeigh “just ‘cuz.” Something else was going on.



You know it. I know it. The FBI knows it. And probably the videotape shows it, just like Trentadue believes.

The Tea Party, Timothy McVeigh, and Tainted History

By Jayna Davis

Anyone waving a placard or voicing dissent against the Obama administration dare not protest too loudly. President Bill Clinton has reignited the incendiary rhetoric of April 19, 1995. He effectively sealed his second White House bid in 1996 by blaming conservative talk radio for inciting the heartland bomber Timothy McVeigh. Now, fifteen years later, the Democratic playbook promises to claim far more victims. Only this time, hardworking Americans stand in the crosshairs.

In a recent CNN interview, the former commander-in-chief sounded a battle cry to the political left, press and pundits alike: Vilify the Tea Party, deeming its membership capable of the violent rampage of the Oklahoma City bomber. This stigma imperils the most influential grassroots movement in modern history. Nothing threatens to muzzle free speech more than being stereotyped a "Tim McVeigh wanna-be."

For me, this political correctness run amok triggers déjà vu. The smear campaign represents an instant replay of the backlash that I endured as a TV news reporter on the trail of the infamous John Doe 2. I was branded a "racist" for pursuing leads that illustrated how Iraqi intelligence agents, soldiers who served in Saddam Hussein's army during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, infiltrated the United States in order to recruit and assist Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in executing the worst act of terror in 20th-century America.

What I discovered shatters the Tim McVeigh mold as an "angry white male" who vented his hostility through published letters to newspaper editors -- and soon thereafter, crossed the threshold from peaceful discontent to wholesale mass murder. Instead, copiously researched evidence, as outlined in my book The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing, exposes McVeigh as the ultimate traitor, acting in collusion with al-Qaeda terrorists and hostile foreign governments such as Iran and Iraq.

The decorated Bradley gunner openly expressed to an Army buddy during Operation Desert Storm that he "wanted to become a mercenary for the Middle East because they paid the most." Upon returning from the Persian Gulf War, he failed the cut for the elite Special Forces. The combat hero suffered a blow to the ego from which he would never recover.

The lanky, awkward teenager from upstate New York had joined the military to shake the childhood stigmas of ordinariness and anonymity. Beneath his clean-cut persona, he harbored a warped sense of empathy for Osama bin Laden, the first World Trade Center mastermind Ramzi Yousef, and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. During his incarceration, McVeigh penned personal essays unveiling his deep-seated sympathies for Middle Eastern terrorists that fueled his anti-government zealotry. He unabashedly expressed regret for the killing two Iraqi enemy combatants, for which he earned the Bronze Star.

Jailhouse interviews recently broadcasted by MSNBC confirm McVeigh's obsessive need for notoriety. Shortly before his 2001 execution, he granted unlimited access to two authors of his biography in order to dictate how history would portray his role as the Oklahoma City "super bomber." McVeigh lauded himself as an emotionless executioner, an ingenious mastermind, and the author of his own fate.

Demented pride impelled the American terrorist to fire off letters to the press following my appearances on cable news programs. His ire inflamed as I announced to a nationwide audience that Osama bin Laden, Iraq, and Iran sponsored the Oklahoma City operation. My investigation demeaned the Army sergeant's status and relegated his role to that of a mule, or rather, a button-pusher. In the lexicon of the intelligence community, Timothy McVeigh was nothing more than a "lily-white" delivery boy -- someone who had no ostensible ties to a Middle Eastern terrorist organizations, and thereby could operate below the law enforcement radar screen. He was a handpicked dupe, set up to take the fall in order to save his Islamic collaborators from prosecution. Bill Clinton's FBI ensured just that.

The Bureau failed miserably in its prodigious quest to find McVeigh's legendary accomplice, John Doe 2. It soon became evident that federal agents conducted a myopic manhunt bent on collaring a "homegrown" third terrorist of Caucasian, not foreign, descent. In early 1996, the Bureau conducted an unprecedented investigation in a herculean effort to connect a religious compound of white separatists and a band of Aryan Republican Army bank robbers to the Oklahoma City bombers. After all, they were cut from the same cloth as Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. These right-wing extremists indubitably fit the profile of the angry white men who would avenge their hatred of the establishment by destroying a federal complex.

After conducting twenty-five thousand witness interviews, the FBI could not find one witness who tied the neo-Nazi suspects to downtown Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, the Ryder truck, getaway vehicles, or the bombsite. All had irrefutable alibis. In short, the FBI failed to produce one eyewitness account, fingerprint, motel registration log, or phone record linking these alleged conspirators to the commission of the crime. The judge who presided over Terry Nichols' 2004 state murder trial ruled the Bureau's pursuit of additional domestic terrorists amounted to nothing more than "hyperbole and a dry hole."

The FBI compliantly accepted the court's rebuke rather than take receipt of my voluminous dossier indicting Iraqi soldiers in the crime. In 1997, when I attempted to surrender the witness statements and corroborative evidence, the FBI flatly refused to take it. But I persisted, and in 1999, FBI Agent Dan Vogel accepted the witness affidavits and investigative file. From there, the documents simply vanished.

To this day, the FBI has failed to investigate the multiple sightings of Iraqi Republican Guardsman Hussain Al-Hussaini in the presence of Timothy McVeigh prior to the bombing, exiting the bomb-laden Ryder truck the morning of April 19, and escaping the ill-fated Murrah Building in a getaway vehicle pursued by the FBI in an all-points-bulletin issued for Middle Eastern terrorists. More significantly, two federal court rulings establish that this Iraqi soldier has no provable alibi for the morning of the bombing.

The FBI never questioned Hussain Al-Hussaini and has refused repeated requests from Congress and the press to clear him officially of complicity in the Murrah Building bombing. Why? It is my firm belief that Bill Clinton and Janet Reno should be called upon to answer that question. Meanwhile, the Democrats will continue to spin the fictional portrait of McVeigh to the party's advantage.

Undoubtedly, Tim McVeigh espoused hate. He advocated civil disobedience. He called for armed resistance to punish a republic he no longer trusted to protect the liberty of its citizenry. But by no means does his crime symbolize anything other than the maniacal act of an unstable individual living on the fringe of society. For Bill Clinton to draw a comparison between a bloodthirsty terrorist and Tea Party conservatives, many of whom are senior citizens on walkers, is nothing short of a national outrage.

However, those threatened by the mounting ranks of dissatisfied voters will continue to stoke the flames of demagoguery. McVeigh was a soldier of fortune -- a far cry from the peaceful citizens of the Tea Party. Yet until the evidence embodied in The Third Terrorist is prosecuted and validated in a courtroom setting, Americans who hold their elected leaders to account will continue to bear the onus of "Tim McVeigh wanna-bes." The historical record, as written by the Clinton Department of Justice, leaves the door open to malign protestors as latent terrorists just awaiting the impetus to act. This insidious distortion of truth demands redress.

The time has arrived to exorcise the ghosts of Oklahoma City and bring to account the Arab terrorists who butchered innocent Americans and the officials who suppressed the evidence of their guilt

The Third Terrorist - Book Review

A very interesting book which makes the case of a Middle Eastern Connection to the Oklahoma City bombing which follows this article about America being in a state of sleep and this article about the recent news about offshore drilling to encourage American energy independence that follows this previous post about it.. This is a key issue to prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran and Venezuela. For more posts like this click here.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were not the lone conspirators in the Oklahoma City bombing-the attack that killed nearly 170 people in a few short seconds. They were part of a greater scheme, one which involved Islamic terrorists and at least one provable link to Iraq. This book, written by the relentless reporter who first broke the story of the Mideast connection, is filled with new revelations about the case and explains in full detail the complete, and so far untold, story behind the failed investigation-why the FBI closed the door, what further evidence exists to prove the Iraqi connection, why it has been ignored, and what makes it more relevant now than ever. Told with a gripping narrative style and rock-solid investigative journalism and vetted by men such as former CIA director James Woolsey, Davis's piercing account is the first book to set the record straight about what really happened April 19, 1995.

Blows my mind - Read this book,

This review is from: The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing (Hardcover) After listening to the author on Glenn Beck, I rushed out to buy this book. This author convinced me that the law enforcement "powers that be" "screwed up" well before 9/11. How can you argue with 23 witnesses? afadavits? and the support of well-respected intelligence officials? Jayna Davis lays out a case for at the least,obstruction of justice charges, and at the worst a monumental coverup. This once again proves how "risk adverse" the Clinton administration was. No wonder Middle Eastern terrorists thought they could succeed on 9/11/01. They already made their mark on 4/19/95. It is appalling to think that she did a better job of investigating than the very organizations who are supposed to protect us, but the book leaves no doubt. She is the hero in this story. She wanted the truth. Other's did not.
