Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Jewish USSC Nominee Merrick Garland Headed The Oklahoma City False Flag Whitewash / Prosecutions Obama's latest Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland got his big legal start prosecuting the Oklahoma City bombing case. Garland went to the scene personally, 'investigated,' and pushed for the death penalty for Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. After Garland helped cover up the OKC government terrorism operation, arch-criminal Bill Clinton rewarded him by appointing him to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. Wikipedia reports: In 1993, Garland joined the new Clinton administration as deputy assistant attorney general in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The following year, then-Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick -a key mentor of Garland's- asked Garland to be her principal deputy. In that role, Garland's responsibilities included the supervision of the Oklahoma City bombing prosecutions, the UNABOM prosecution, and the Atlanta Olympics bombings investigations. The Oklahoma City bombing case was a key moment in Garland's prosecutorial career. Garland insisted on being sent to Oklahoma City in the aftermath of the attack to examine the crime scene and oversee the investigation in preparation for the prosecution. Garland oversaw search warrants, interacted with law enforcement agencies, and met with surviving victims. He represented the government at the preliminary hearings of the two main defendants in the case, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. The New York Times reported that "Garland insisted on doing the investigation by the book, like obtaining subpoenas even when phone and truck rental companies volunteered to simply hand over evidence, to avoid any future trial problems. He also made sure there was a prosecutor responsible for keeping victims and relatives informed about the case as it developed." Garland offered to lead the trial team, but could not because he was needed at the Justice Department headquarters. Garland instead helped pick the team and supervised it from Washington, where he was involved in major decisions, including the choice to seek the death penalty for McVeigh and Nichols. Garland won praise for his work on the case from the Republican governor of Oklahoma, Frank Keating. Garland taught antitrust law at Harvard Law School in 1986, and has also published articles on antitrust law in both the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal. From NPR: A String Of Bombing Cases Garland was soon put to the test. He supervised the investigations into the Unabomber and the Oklahoma City and Atlanta Olympics bombings, among others. In the Oklahoma City case, he not only headed the investigation, he put together the trial team that prosecuted Timothy McVeigh, winning praise from the state's Republican Governor Frank Keating. Gorelick says one of the Garland traits she treasured was his instinct to "question the received wisdom" and not to jump to conclusions. That paid off again and again, she says, when initial evidence seemed to point in one direction in major cases, only to evaporate on later inspection. Clinton appointed Garland to the U.S. Court of Appeals in 1995. After a long Republican stall in the Senate that lasted 19 months, he was confirmed by a vote of 76-23. LINK: Merrick Garland Has A Reputation Of Collegiality, Record Of Republican Support NYT From April 27, 2010: (EXCERPT) How Bombing Case Helped Shape Career of a Potential Justice Days after a huge bomb killed 168 people in Oklahoma City in April 1995, Merrick B. Garland was on the ground even as bodies were still being recovered, examining the crime scene and preparing for an eventual prosecution. Merrick B. Garland was the highest-ranking Justice Department official dispatched to Oklahoma City after the deadly bombing there in 1995. ...Friends and former colleagues say that the Oklahoma City case in particular had a lasting emotional impact on Mr. Garland. At the time, he was the second-ranking figure in the office of the deputy attorney general, Jamie S. Gorelick, a job with broad responsibilities over the entire department. But, Ms. Gorelick recalled, he insisted that she send him to Oklahoma City to help begin the investigation in person.

In trying to justify her fear of Abdullah and his words, she brought up her beliefs about Timothy McVeigh, the OKC bombing and anti-government extremists. The officer referred to "my knowledge of incidents at Oklahoma City" and how "no one was able to do anything about it because of First Amendment rights." [Note: See numerous links and evidence of government involvement in OKC below.] Towards the conclusion of the hearing, presiding Judge Steven D. Blades commented "Whether you or I agree" (that Muhammed was a threat,) "they (the women who testified) seem genuinely concerned.. I'm dealing with their reaction. I'm balancing everyone's rights."

Judas Priest, it never ends. But, what more should or could be expected from this den of vipers. Regardless, the veil has been lifted. Take heart that finally - FINALLY ! - there is a critical mass ready to fight back come hell or high water.
Eric Holder was at the OK coverup as well.
