The above statement from the AG's report to the Senate Judiciary is absolutely incorrect whether he knows it or not.
For more details why AShcroft is very wrong in his statement , please read the following articles:

------------------------------------------
3 very important, material and discoverable (exculpatory) FBI 302 interview reports were withheld from the defense and the prosecutors but later found in Defenbaugh's Dallas office in early 2001 . These reports had been done in April 1995 for three Pakistani suspects arrested on April 19, 1995 in connection with the OKC bombing, Iraq and with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The FBI and Janet Reno lied in 1995 when they claimed no ME suspects had been arrested in the OKC bombing case. and these 302 prove they were lying.
The finding of the FBI 302s on the Pakistanis in Defenbaugh's Dallas FBI office was reported last year in a story by Jack Douglas of the Ft Worth Star Telegram I posted on the FreeRepublic.
Bomb ingredients were found on the luggage of the Pakistanis at their motel in Dallas by bomb sniffing dogs right after the OKC bombing.
The witness to the Pakistanis being with McVeigh in OKC, Debbie Budick was called by FBI agent Odom from Denver during and after the trials to initmidate her not to talk to anyone about the Pakistanis she had seen with McVeigh after the bombing.
What is also significant about the Pakistanis is that Saudi intelligence told CIA counter terrorism chief Vincent Cannistraro on the morning of the OKC bombing that Saddam Hussein had hired seven Pakistanis to help do the OKC bombing. THe FBI wrote deliberately four conflicting 302 interview reports on the Cannistrao story to confuse the story.
In early January 1999 I went to the Senate Intelligence Committee to get their help in having the FBI recieve evidence of the Iraqi connection to the OKC bombing from KFORTV reporters. The FBI and US Prosecutor Sean Connelly had refused up until that time to receive the evidence.
When I presented to the Senate Intelligence committee what the evidence was (22 sworn affadavits), the intelligence committee instructed me to tell the former KFORTV reporter to call the FBI in OKC directly and tell them that the intelligence committee wanted the FBI to receive the evidence immediately and to notify the intelligence committee if the FBI still refused. As a result I passed along the intelligence committee's instructions to the former KFORTV reporter who then contacted and arranged to meet with FBI agent Dan Vogel on January 29, 1999 with the reporter's spouse and attorney. Vogel received the evidence from the reporter.
But AG Ashcroft and the FBI has blocked Vogel (now retired) from testifying about the evidence at the Nichols state trial in Oklahoma. So far Vogel has also been muzzled from speaking in any detail to the press and to Congress. Ashcroft and the FBI has alo blocked release of surveillance tapes showing John Does with McVeigh at the scene and of the actual explosion.
FBI agents repeatedly threatened law enforcement , military (ARMY), and other private citizen witnesses who had seen MCVeigh with John Does at the scene in OKC at the time of the OKC bombing and before.
During the turn over of the evidence, Vogel indicated that the FBI was tracking individuals in Dallas who may have had a connection to the OKC bombing. This would include Hamas and AlQaeda cell members in Dallas that Dallas Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Danny Defenbaugh had been tracking since 1998
Did anyone else catch this on fox and friends recently?
