“Almost everyone involved in OKC was a government informant with the exception of the two guys convicted.”
I didn’t know that, how many others were there and why wasn’t it stopped?
At least one other person (a "person of interest" at the rental car counter). Possibly some foreign assistance or training as well. Definite contacts in the Philippines.
The US government agencies monitoring the group waited too long before rolling them up. They also got played by their informant.
Additional bonus. The blast cooked off military munitions that were never supposed to be in the building in the first place. How convenient that all the neighboring storefront surveillance videos were impounded and cannot now be located. Multiple explosions on site, readily detected by USGS seismic monitors in the State.
Massive RIFs at USGS afterwards too. The folks who mentioned the seismic recordings are gone. So are the recordings. Just a coincidence, you can be sure.
A huge cluster%^&^%^. Promotions and reassignments for everybody. Just keep it quiet. Or else.
This is raw rumor. No verification available. Make of it what you will.
This is one of those Clinton era stories that, the more you dig into it, the weirder it gets.
There were confidential informants in his group answering back to various agencies. A couple of them were later imprisoned on unrelated criminal charges (bank robbery I believe). One girl was prosecuted but the case fell apart when she produced all her pay slips to prove she was a paid informant for, I don’t remember, DEA or ATF. There were also a couple of Saddamist agents in the mix. And its apparent that one of the two guys was in contact with the guy who first bombed the World Trade Center in 1991.
But Clinton didn’t want to give the jihadis or Saddamists any credit, so that part of the story got buried. And he definitely didn’t want the fact that the plot was so thoroughly infiltrated by confidential informants, and yet they failed to stop it. So none of the informants were called as witnesses in the trial, and out of the hundred or so people who could have testified, they limited it to the four or five who had never seen McVeigh in the company of the informants or the arabs.
Like I say, its one of those Clinton era down-the-rabbit-hole and through-the-looking-glass stories that were common anywhere he and Hillary were involved. I’ve only touched the barest tip of the iceberg. Jamie Gorelick? She’s there too.
