Be that as it may, the performance of his defense lawyer >Stephen Jones has been a disappointment. Before the trial began, >Jones promised to present evidence of a government cover-up. He >didn't deliver. In fact, Jones' performance was so poor that he >was praised for doing a good job by the government newspaper, the >Washington Post. > > Now, the reason that Jones didn't present the promised >evidence may be that Judge Richard Match didn't allow him to do >so. Match ruled that BATF informant Carol Howe would not be >allowed to testify at the trial. While she would not have been >able to testify to the guilt of Tim McVeigh, she certainly would >have revealed a larger conspiracy that the government, through 70 >briefings in advance of the bombing, was aware of. That would >have placed McVeigh's guilt in context, and could have influenced >the jury. > > Match's ruling is typical of a federal system unable to deal >honestly with its own guilt. > > That is why a venue outside the federal government must be >used to hear guilt of federal government agents. Oklahoma state >Rep. Charles Key last week finally succeeded in forcing an >Oklahoma judge to impanel a grand jury to hear evidence of a >cover-up by the federal government. > > Charles Key's constitutionally guaranteed effort to impanel a >grand jury through collection of more than 10,000 signatures has >been met with obstruction efforts from Oklahoma state Attorney >General Drew Edmondson, Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob >Macy, State District Judge Charles Owens as well as the >mainstream Oklahoma state press. > > Key's grand jury is the correct venue for pursuing the >government cover-up. We must now see to it that its efforts are >not obstructed by government agents and by mainstream media >representatives. Because he has no support from state >prosecutors, Key depends on financial support from the public for >the investigative efforts. > > One witness Key should consider bringing before the grand >jury is James Nichols, brother of bombing defendant Terry >Nichols. "They (the court) have not received all of the >information. There is a lot more to this story than has been told >in court," James Nichols told CNN from Detroit, Michigan last >week. "If there is a wider conspiracy, which I believe there is, >it did not include my brother. But Timothy may have been included >in there to have been set up as a patsy, a fall guy," he said. >"One or two men could not have done this bombing," said Nichols, >who is co-writing a book entitled "Freedoms and Conspiracies in >Oklahoma". > > > > > Published in the Jun. 16, 1997 issue of The Washington Weekly > Copyright 1997 The Washington Weekly (http://www.federal.com) > Reposting permitted with this message intact > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- >To subscribe or unsubscribe, email >majordomo@majordomo.pobox.com with the message: > subscribe ignition-point > or > unsubscribe ignition-point > http://ic.net/~celano/ip/ > >=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >Unsub info - send e-mail to majordomo@majordomo.pobox.com, with >"unsubscribe liberty-and-justice" in the body (not the subject) >Liberty-and-Justice list-owner is Mike Goldman <whig@pobox.com> > > ======================================================================== Paul Andrew Mitchell : Counselor at Law, federal witness B.A., Political Science, UCLA; M.S., Public Administration, U.C.
