Mystery Surrounds OKC Grand Jury Indictment Of Author From Brian Redman <bigred@shout.net> Editor-in-Chief Conspiracy Nation www.shout.net/~bigred/cn.html 1-3-99 (CNNS) -- Puzzling circumstances surrounding the reported indictment of David M. Hoffman, author of "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror" (Feral House, 1998) continue to unfold. A report issued earlier today by this news service had mistakenly stated that Hoffman had been indicted for "stalking" by an Oklahoma grand jury probing the bombing or bombings of the Alfred Murrah building, in Oklahoma City, on April 19, 1995. A more careful reading of the Associated Press article on which our earlier story had been based discloses that Hoffman had not been indicted for "stalking" by the Oklahoma grand jury. BUT IT REMAINS TRUE, AS REPORTED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THAT HOFFMAN APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN INDICTED BY THE OKLAHOMA GRAND JURY. ("Man Indicted by Bombing Jury Speaks," AP, 01/01/99) The AP story does not mention what the specific charge against Hoffman is. CNNS still stands behind its earlier report that "It is now confirmed that Hoffman, author of 'The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror' and a journalist associated with the Haight-Asbury Free Press, appears to be the person named in the sealed indictment." ("Confirmed: Hoffman Target Of OKC Sealed Indictment," CNNS, 01/02/99) As reported by CNNS earlier today, "Hoffman has probed, tirelessly and for dozens of months, evidence that the Oklahoma City bombing(s) involved a wider conspiracy than Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and evidence that more than one bomb destroyed the Murrah Building in April of 1995." Further information on the developing situation comes from Sherman H. Skolnick, chairman of the Citizens' Committee To Clean Up The Courts, a public interest research group based in Chicago. Contacted by Mr. Skolnick, this news service has learned the following: REPORTEDLY: That the chief judge in charge of the Oklahoma grand jury had stated, when the grand jury was first empaneled, that "the grand jury should rightfully indict Charles Key." (Charles Key is the crusading Oklahoma state representative who has pushed relentlessly for an honest investigation into what happened in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. Representative Key wrote the Foreword to Hoffman's book on the bombing(s).) FACT: That the same prosecutor who had originally opposed Representative Key's push to empanel the Oklahoma grand jury was thereafter put in charge of that same grand jury, and seems to have thwarted an honest investigation into the bombing(s). FACT: That as punishment for his good citizenship, Representative Key found himself harassed by local Oklahoma authorities and local newspapers apparently hostile to Key's efforts. REPORTEDLY: That David M. Hoffman's lease on his apartment in Oklahoma City expired on December 31, 1998 and that Hoffman was in the process of moving to Washington, DC when the grand jury's sealed indictment against him was handed up. Hoffman had already, reportedly, left the apartment and had hired movers to relocate his belongings. Where is Hoffman now? REPORTEDLY: That the chief judge presiding over the Oklahoma grand jury had instructed the jurors not to look at any press reports, radio reports, television reports, books, or magazine articles dealing with the Oklahoma City bombing(s) case. Yet by subpoenaing Hoffman, they basically subpoenaed his book and thereby violated their instructions. This legal argument is made by an attorney who has contacted Mr. Skolnick in relation to Hoffman's current troubles. Since the grand jury apparently violated the instructions they'd received from the judge, that could nullify any possible indictment against Hoffman for presumed "jury tampering" or "obstruction of justice." FACT: That Sherman Skolnick was collaborating with David Hoffman on a planned, upcoming book. The planned book was to expose facts behind the strange and numerous murders of persons connected to Bill and Hillary Clinton. Skolnick had Hoffman as his guest during two episodes of his popular television program, "Broadsides," during which Hoffman and Skolnick discussed the Oklahoma City bombing(s) and the facts which Hoffman had unearthed while researching his book, "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror." WHAT are the "politics of terror"? Might Hoffman and Skolnick's researches pose a potential threat to some at the heart of the selfsame "politics of terror"?
