OKLAHOMA CITY -- Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, whose brother Kenneth Trentadue was beaten to death in during an FBI interrogation in the days after the '95 Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing, revealed new information about the case and the bombing during an interview today on The Alex Jones Show.
Trentadue explained to Jones and his audience that initially he looked into why his brother was killed at the Oklahoma City Federal Corrections Institute. And while he ultimately concluded it was due to a tragic case of mistaken identity - he looked like "bank bandit" Richard Lee Guthrie - his pursuit of the truth kept leading him to new information.
"Everything I did took me to Oklahoma City and the bombing," Trentadue said of his research.
Despite running into numerous roadblocks, no thanks to a less than transparent government, Trentadue sued the government for more information and learned that convicted bomber Terry Nichols had been told by the Feds in 2005 that he would be spared the death penalty if he agreed to certain things. This included Nichols taking responsibility for a warning call to the FBI prior to the bombing; his implication of his brother James Nichols in the conspiracy and thirdly to reveal where some explosives were that had been taken from a gun dealer in Arkansas named Roger Moore.
It turned out that Nichols had hidden the explosives in a crawl space in his home in Herington, Kansas. The FBI got the explosives and destroyed them three years later. It was revealed in the documents Trentadue received that fingerprints belonging to McVeigh, Nichols and two other individuals whose names were redacted.
Jones asked Trentadue, "What really happened at Oklahoma City?"
Trentadue replied that he thought it was "some kind of government operation" and said he wasn't sure if McVeigh "went rogue" or whether the bombing had been planned all along ... and that they knew in advance it was going to happen."
"There's so much evidence, it's totally ridiculous," Jones added.
Most interesting was that when Trentadue received copies of 26 tapes that were allegedly recording what was going on around the Murrah building on the morning of April 19, 1995. But what was curious, Trentadue said, was that the tapes all went blank between 8:54 a.m. and 9:02 a.m.. Of course this is critical because it would have shown McVeigh pulling up, possibly with other people, and detonating the Ryder truck bomb.
When he inquired with the federal government about the fact that all the tapes were blank for that period of time, he was told "all the tapes were being changed."
"I got all the tapes, except for the Murrah building," Trentadue said.
Jones noted that it is believed McVeigh was part of a black ops team and that he was ultimately set up to take the fall for the bombing that involved others.

even if they had the right guy i don't think they should have beat him to death. i wonder how many people get killed by cops when no one's looking.
ReplyDeletehave i ever mentioned that i don't like cops?
Billy - Yeah, I bet over half of the suicides in jail, aren't.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar.
