  • Imagine knowing this for almost 20 years and being called crazy by everyone including the government
  • @gardensofthegods
    Something's seriously wrong when they're not allowed to tell the truth . These two men definitely need protection .
  • @IndependentMind115
    It makes my blood boil to think that our own government was involved. 🤬🤬
  • @NeutronRob
    Only took about 21 years and 6 months to tell the truth. It was clearly evident they had domestic associates who knew what they were up to and gave aid.
  • @Harrison_Rs
    When something is being kept a secret/files hidden away means something is being covered up.
  • @real8310
    I hope these former FBI agents stay safe 🙏🙏
  • Let me get this right.. we pay taxes yet we can't look at those documents ? All that information is payed for by our tax dollars
  • @johndunn9819
    Twenty years later it's hard even remembering not having the "patriot act" making it legal to commit random search and seizure against presumed innocent citizens.
  • @NahNah1480
    This was a very calculated attack. It took a lot of planning strategy! I never believed that it just happened! RIP to all of the victims!😔
  • @sdj4433
    May everyone who passed that day Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏
  • @moc7323
    Look at JFK case Files still not released how many years later
  • @user-lr5bo3ip8i
    We know what happened and we know the truth will never come out. Such a shame
  • @destinya5627
    Why would they show the mosque they went too? That was irrelevant and irresponsible. When white men and white kids are committing acts of domestic terrorism do they show which churches they went to? Seems like a tactic.
  • @keziajulian8653
    One thing I’ve learned….never trust the US FBI nor the US Govt.
  • @alonzobean1
    The problem, as always is that the FBI will not speak to an ongoing investigation. Therefore the investigation will never end.
  • "Some" of the secret files will be released. Do not kid yourselves. Their not going to reveal anything we don't already know. Because that would be incriminating.
  • @Michael15_25
    When Gonzalez, the FBI agent says “11 guys committed 3,000 mass murders” when you take a step back and forget what we’ve been fed for 20 plus years it does sound preposterous that they were some rogue group who acted alone.
  • To think that this could have been possibly prevented, is enough to infuriate any American ! Too many lives were lost during, and after that horrific criminal event. Too many lives were torn apart, and any other information regarding this crime must be revealed ! - Jen Gable (Justeson)
