Did Merrick Garland Cover Up OK City Bombing AND the J6 Pipe Bomb?

The Parallels Are Mind-Blowing

On the morning of April 19, 1995, Jerry Nance noticed an unusual car in the downtown Oklahoma City parking lot near where he worked. It was dilapidated yellow Mercury Marquis. Behind the wheel was a dark-skinned, Middle Eastern-looking man in a ball cap.

Nance remembered the car well. When he walked back toward it, after he got some stuff from his own car, the Mercury Marquis almost ran him over. Now, however, the Middle Eastern man was sitting in the passenger seat, and a tall white man was driving the car out of the parking lot, recklessly at that.

Two minutes later, the Murrah Federal Building blew up, killing 168 people, 19 of them children. Nance informed the FBI of this incident before anyone knew Timothy McVeigh had been apprehended in a yellow Mercury Marquis.

A week later, the FBI quoted Nance and others in its request before a federal judge to hold McVeigh over for trial. One of the witnesses, a tire store employee, picked McVeigh out of a line-up of look-alikes even before he saw McVeigh on television. The Washington Post of April 27 confirmed the same.

According to the Post, the magistrate, Ronald L. Howland, ordered McVeigh held without bail after four hours of testimony from FBI Special Agent John Hersley. According to Hersley, “Witnesses have told investigators of later seeing McVeigh and a second man seated in a parked, yellow Mercury Marquis near the federal building before the blast and of seeing them speeding away in the car minutes before the explosion.” The italics here are added to emphasize a point. There were multiple eyewitnesses solid enough to convince Hersley.

For the next six weeks, McVeigh’s accomplice, designated John Doe No. 2, was the most hunted man in the world until, without explanation, he was allowed to vanish into the ether. The FBI appeared to lose all interest in the eyewitnesses as soon as the White House had established its talking point, namely that the allegedly right-wing McVeigh was the plot’s mastermind and drove the truck bomb to Oklahoma City by himself.

Supervising the investigation of the bombing and the prosecution of McVeigh was a little known deputy in President Clinton’s DoJ, a political appointee by the name of Merrick Garland. According to the New York Times, “Garland was then the highest-ranking Justice Department official dispatched to Oklahoma City in the aftermath of the bombing. He spent the ensuing weeks helping to start the case, and later supervised the prosecutors from department headquarters.” Garland worked under the direction of Clinton’s fixer-in-chief Jamie Gorelick.

Rather than put a single witness on the stand who could place McVeigh in or near Oklahoma City on April 19—and there were as many as 30 to choose from—the prosecutors chose to build an entire case on circumstantial evidence. By doing so, they kept all reference to John Doe No. 2 out of the trial. The Clinton White House had in McVeigh a poster boy for Newt Gingrich’s “Republican Revolution.” If John Doe No. 2 proved to be a Muslim co-conspirator or a confidential FBI source, he would have spoiled the picture.

A good soldier to the end, McVeigh refused to finger any accomplices and was executed in June 2001, a near record time by contemporary standards. Garland had recommended execution. That same year as the trial, 1997, Clinton appointed Garland to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

Fast Forward 20 years from McVeigh’s execution to January 6, 2021. At about 12:40 p.m., Karlin Younger, a Commerce Department employee, spotted what appeared to be a six-inch pipe bomb as she walked down an alley near the RNC headquarters in Washington. The timer appeared to be set for the bomb to explode in twenty minutes, at 1 p.m., the hour scheduled for Vice President Mike Pence to begin the certification process in the House Chamber. Minutes after 1 p.m., an undercover USCP officer spotted an apparent pipe bomb sitting conspicuously in a bush next to a park bench outside the DNC.

Although the bombs killed no one in DC, the FBI promptly launched a nationwide manhunt for the elusive bomber. On March 11, 2021, Merrick Garland took over as U.S. Attorney General. Now the FBI reported to him and his people and what happened in the wake of Oklahoma City happened again after January 6: the FBI and media lost interest in finding the most wanted man in America.

The pipe bomber—for continuity’s sake, John Doe No. 3—all but faded from memory. Those pulling the strings likely sensed—or even knew—the bomber was one of their own. Identifying that bomber would undo the story they had so successfully spun of near disasters at the hands by crazed, Trump-inspired insurrectionists. Better to let the bomber disappear into the night.

Here I speculate, but I believe Garland knows the identity of John Doe No. 3. I suspect, too, that Garland knows the identity of the original John Doe No. 2.

Got an assignment for you, Kash!
