Yeah, well I kind of wrote the whole thing off when I found out that McVey had stopped into Elohim on his way to blow up the Federal Building. No one can convince me the feds didn't know what he was up to long before it happened.
I'm not sure what the whole deal was, but I agree that the feds were warned in advance. I think they wanted to make a big bust and the whole thing got away from them. I don't know what else to think.
Carole Howe stated that she told them weeks in advance. Now some may think she was a lair, but the feds liked her well enough to keep her on the payroll for over a year after the event. That's good enough for me. If they trusted her, why shouldn't I?
