Leaked DOJ memos
shed new light on the role of Barack Obama's Attorney General nominee
Eric Holder in the cover-up of the death of Kenneth Michael Trentadue,
who was tortured to death by FBI agents after they confused him with
one of Timothy McVeigh's accomplices in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Kenneth Michael Trentadue's brother,
Jesse Trentadue, has embarked on a fearless campaign to uncover the
truth behind his brother's death, and the evidence that he has gathered
in the process clearly indicates that the FBI have been killing witnesses
who have direct knowledge of the fact that the Oklahoma City bombing
could not have gone ahead without the aid of FBI informants and that
the government had prior knowledge of the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah
building at least four months in advance.
During Trentadue's previous appearances
on the Alex Jones Show, he outlined the history of the case and the
progress of his attempts to get answers in court.
"I didn't start out to solve the Oklahoma City
bombing, I started out to find out who killed my brother and why,"
Jesse Trentadue told the Alex Jones Show in February 2007.

In January 1996, Trentadue received an anonymous phone call telling him that his brother Kenneth had been murdered by the FBI in a case of mistaken identity because his brother had fit the profile of a member of a group called the Midwest Bank Robbery Gang that had been robbing banks to fund an attack on the federal government.
"Of course I dismissed it, I thought it was
far fetched, unbelievable," said Trentadue, who said he ignored
it until months later when he read a story in the L.A. Times about a
man named Richard Lee Guthrie, also a member of the robbery gang, who
was found hanging in his cell while in federal custody a day before
he was due to give a confessional interview about the Oklahoma City
bombing.
"Shortly before he was executed I received a
message from Timothy McVeigh who told me that when he saw my brother's
photograph and heard what happened to him, he knew the FBI had killed
my brother because they mistook him from Richard Lee Guthrie."
Trentadue said he believes Guthrie was John Doe 2,
McVeigh's accomplice in carrying out the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah
building and an individual seen by multiple eyewitnesses yet omitted
from the official story by the authorities. Guthrie and Kenneth Trentadue's
physical description and movements were exactly the same, right down
to the dragon tattoo on each's left forearm.
Jesse Trentadue stands in front of a portrait of his brother Kenneth who Trentadue claims was murdered by the FBI because he was mistaken with OKC bombing conspirator Richard Lee Guthrie.
Kenneth
Trentadue's autopsy photos clearly betray signs of a violent beating
and torture as the cause of his death. The official explanation of suicide
is completely inconsistent with the physical evidence.
"I didn't start out to solve the bombing, I
started out to find the men who killed my brother," said Trentadue,
"but every trail has taken me back to the bombing."
This is what led Trentadue to file a lawsuit in Utah
ordering the FBI to release all documents relating to a failed sting
operation they were running at a white supremacist paramilitary training
camp in Elohim City, eastern Oklahoma, and its connection to the bombing
on April 19 1995.
In being given unprecedented access to speak to McVeigh's
accused co-conspirator Terry Nichols, Trentadue was able to discover
that, according to Nichols, Attorney General's Ashcroft's office gagged
Nichols from speaking to the media after it became apparent that McVeigh's
accomplices and government ties to the bombing were in danger of leaking.
"Apparently before he had contacted me several
years ago he had written to Attorney General Ashcroft, volunteering
to tell everything about the bombing and the others involved,"
said Trentadue.
"Not only did no one from Attorney General Ashcroft's
office follow up with Nichols, they actually apparently issued an order
barring him from all contact with the media - it was thereafter that
he reached out to me and I was able to get in to see him to spend a
day and half with him."
During the process of his lawsuit, Trentadue was
able to receive documents with names blacked out that show the FBI's
OKC bombing informants were conducting armed robberies with Timothy
McVeigh in order to fund the construction of the fertilizer bomb used
in the attack on the federal building.
"One of the foreign informants was actually
the explosives instructor who taught him how to make the bomb,"
said Trentadue, confirming that Nichols told him the criminal activities
were part of a process of creating a ledger or a storyboard to which
the government's version of events could later be pinned to.
The documents also show that McVeigh called Elohim
City two days before the bombing asking for help. Four months before
the bombing, an FBI informant told his superiors of the attack plan
and said that the Alfred P. Murrah building had been scouted.
Trentadue said that Nichols is desperate to tell
his story, but cannot yet go into full detail because of the court order
that sealed the affidavit. He stated that he is surprised Nichols is
still alive considering the amount of suspicious deaths that have occurred
as a result of the cover-up. Trentadue's own insurance policy was that
he immediately went public with any information he uncovered.
Trentadue questions why the government is so keen
on preventing Nichols from being deposed if all he wants to do is tell
the truth. Nichols himself would have nothing to gain from doing so
apart from to put his own conscience at ease, which is precisely what
Nichols told Trentadue he would like to do.
Terry Nichols
Trentadue said that the only way Nichols' story will
ever get out is if a videotaped deposition is allowed.
"You cannot tell that whole story in a declaration,"
said Trentadue, adding that the more important information was contained
in documents attached to the affidavit, most of which were from the
FBI and Tim McVeigh's defense team.
"The accusations that I have made against the
FBI are that they set up this operation, that they had informants who
robbed banks with McVeigh to fund the attacks, that they had an informant
who was the explosives instructor who taught them how to make the bomb
and it got away from them - they have not once denied those accusations,
they have just begged this federal judge not to order the release of
the documents," the attorney concluded.
The new twist to the story revolves
around Trentadue obtaining leaked DOJ memos that indicate a flurry of
activity around how to handle the cover-up of the death of his brother.
A key player in the cover-up was Eric Holder, who earlier this week
was named by President elect Barack Obama as the nominee to become Attorney
General in January subject to confirmation.
"They're Department of Justice
memos, they're actually e mails, and they're talking about Deputy Attorney
General Eric Holder and what he has to do to keep the lid on this story,"
said Trentadue, adding that the memos make it clear than an attempt
to deflect press attention is the goal, along with claiming that the
investigation is ongoing in order to keep everything secret.
"This was a coordinated cover-up
run at the highest levels of justice and out of the White House,"
said Trentadue, noting that the memos refer to the cover-up as "The
Trentadue Mission" and use terms like "The Invasion of Normandy"
to illustrate the scale of the operation.
"You have to ask yourself, why
would the death of one little person, which they claim was a suicide
by hanging, generate this kind of activity at the highest levels of
the Clinton/Reno Justice Department, the answer is....they knew this
murder, if investigated, would lead to the Oklahoma City Bombing and
lead to the fact that the Department of Justice, through the FBI and
ATF informants, was involved and this occurred just before the re-election
of Bill Clinton in 1996," said Trentadue.
"Mr. Holder's job was to cover-up
my brother's murder, basically to stop all inquiry," said Trentadue,
saying the e mails were "inflammatory," referring as they
do to "Trentadue's and Trentadon'ts".
"Holder's job was to stop the Democrats
and Republicans from looking into this....you have to ask yourself why
the Deputy Attorney General of the United States in involved in covering
up the death of an inmate and the answer's simple, they knew that death
if investigated would lead back to the bombing, it would lead back to
the government's knowledge and involvement," said Trentadue, adding
that the release of the information would have been a disaster for the
re-election hopes of Bill Clinton in 1996.
Trentadue also revealed that a witness
to his brother's torture and murder was set to give evidence in court
but was also found hanged in another alleged "suicide".
Trentadue said that the media has refused
to adequately cover the story and that he has faced recriminations on
behalf of government operatives who falsely accused him of bribing witnesses
and went to great lengths to try and get any dirt on and harass his
family.
"They've just made our lives hell
for thirteen years," concluded Trentadue.
Trentadue is now offering a $250,000
reward for information leading to the apprehension of the FBI agents
who tortured his brother to death. Further information, along with more
