The FBI has not found videotapes from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that are being sought by a Utah lawyer and do not believe another records search is reasonable or will uncover the information, the agency has told a federal judge.
FBI officials are "unaware of the existence or likely location of additional tapes" that would fulfill the Freedom of Information Act request filed by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, agency attorneys said in court papers filed last week.
"In short, nothing but more of the same institutionalized dishonesty, deception and disrespect for the Constitution," Trentadue wrote.
Trentadue also said the explanation downplayed the purpose of various FBI electronic databases and that a declaration from an FBI official in charge of FOIA responses conflicted with former agents and officers who have provided information in the case.
"The key thing to me is they don't say (the tapes) don't exist," Trentadue said. "I think my job now will be to poke holes in the response and lay out what I think are inaccuracies or misleading statements."
TVNL Comment: Tapes of this crime can not be found. JFK's brain mysteriously missing from the archive. All blueprints to the Saturn V rocket (that supposedly took people to the moon), vanished. Convenient little occurrences for those who have problems proving their suspicious claims.
