Subject: The FBI and Murder of a Witness to the Oklahoma City Bombing
May 26, 2005
The FBI,
the Torture and Murder of Kenneth Trentadue. and
Advance Knowledge of the Oklahoma City Bombing --
Uncovering a DOJ Coverup
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS
http://www.counterpunch.org/
In 1995 Kenneth Trentadue was murdered by federal agents in a
federal prison in Oklahoma City. A coverup immediately went into
effect. Federal authorities claimed Trentadue, who was being held
in a suicide-proof cell, had committed suicide by hanging himself,
but the state coroner would not buy the story. Prison authorities
tried to get family consent to cremate the body. But Trentadue had
been picked up on a minor parole violation, and the story of
suicide by a happily married man delighted with his two-month old
son raised red flags to the family.When the Trentadue family
received Kenneth's body and heavy makeup was scraped away, the
evidence (available in photos on the Internet) clearly shows a
person who had been tortured and beaten. His throat was slashed and
he may have been garroted.
There are bruises, burns and cuts from the soles of Trentadue's
feet to his head, wounds that obviously were not self-inflicted. As
the state coroner noted at the time, every investigative rule was
broken by the federal prison. The coroner was not allowed into the
cell, and the cell was scrubbed down prior to investigation.The
federal coverup was completely transparent. A US senator made
inquiries, but the US Department of Justice (sic), knowing that it
would not be held accountable, stuck to its fabricated story.
That was a mistake.Trentadue's brother, Jesse, is an attorney. He
believes that federal officials, like everyone else, must be held
accountable for their crimes.He has been battling the Justice
Department and the FBI for a decade. Jesse Trentadue has amassed
evidence that his brother was mistaken for Tim McVeigh's alleged
accomplice in the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City.
Federal agents, believing that they had Richard Lee Guthrie in
their hands, went too far in attempting to force him to talk. Jesse
Trentadue learned that the FBI had informants planted with two
groups on which McVeigh may have relied: a white supremacist
paramilitary training compound at Elohim City and the Mid-West Bank
Robbery Gang.
The implication is that the FBI had advance notice of McVeigh's
plans and may have been conducting a sting operation that went
awry. The FBI has documents that name the informants. Teletypes
from then FBI director Louis Freeh dated January 4, 1996, and
August 23, 1996, confirm that the FBI had informants imbedded with
the Mid-West Bank Robbery Gang and in Elohim City. In these
documents, Freeh reports to various FBI field offices that the
Elohim City informant (possibly explosives expert and German
national Andreas Carl Strassmeir) "allegedly has had a lengthy
relationship with Timothy McVeigh" and "that McVeigh had placed a
telephone call to Elohim City on 4/5/95, a day that he was believed
to have been attempting to recruit a second conspirator to assist
in the OKBOMB attack
."The FBI denied to federal judge Dale Kimball that any such
documents existed. But someone had leaked the teletypes to
Trentadue, and he put them before the judge along with an affidavit
of their genuineness. Caught red-handed lying to a federal judge,
the FBI was ordered to produce all documents Trentadue demanded.
Judge Kimball gave the FBI until June 15, 2005, to deliver the
incriminating records. Needless to say, the FBI doesn't want to
deliver and is attempting every possible dodge to escape obeying
the judge's order. In his effort to uncover the DOJ's coverup of
his brother's murder, Jesse Trentadue may have uncovered evidence
of the FBI's failure to prevent the bombing of the Murrah Building.
It is bad enough that the murder of Kenneth Trentadue is covered
over with many layers of DOJ perjury and the withholding and
destruction of evidence. Evidence that the FBI was aware of
McVeigh's plan to bomb the Murrah Building and failed to prevent
the deed would be an additional heavy blow to the prestige of
federal law enforcement.
