(CNNS, 01/02/99) -- 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"?
