A somewhat similar scenario took place with the Murrah Builing bombing in Oklahoma City.
I have it on good authority that the order to arrest Richard Jewell or the 1996 Olympic bombing came directly from the White House...and Bill Clinton himself.
When politics intrudes on law enforcement, no good can come of it. See the Murrah Building, TWA 800, Centennial Park, Sandy Hook, Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, Baltimore, etc.
Hmmm, do I detect a partisan political pattern there...???
