So a couple things on that.

I seem to remember at the outset of this, the FBI attempted to widen the investigation into these Steam and Discord channels to like look at.

I don't know what the state did.

I presume nothing has come of that because I just haven't heard about it.

But the other part is, if you remember the Oklahoma City bombing, there was, you know, there was a prosecutor by the name of...

Merrick Garland, who was the prosecutor in the case.

And there was the famous, uh, question of how do you know McVeigh did it?

There are all these other people involved.

In fact, the, the, the day one coverage was for the first three weeks, there was a manhunt, a very public manhunt to identify this John Doe number two.

And how do you know it was Timothy McVeigh?

There's all this shadiness about the, the sudden, uh,

The FBI changed its story and said actually there was no John Doe No.

2.

He never existed.

This is after basically three weeks of a nationwide manhunt complete with a sketch of what this person was supposed to have looked like.

And at trial, there's an exchange in the transcript from the McVeigh trial where the line of questioning is effectively to the prosecutors –

I'm sorry, I think it's McVeigh or one of the witnesses talks about John Doe number two, and Merrick Garland replies something to the effect of, it doesn't matter if John Doe number two, John Doe number three, or John Doe number 100 existed,

Well, it's still an open question.

It was 95.

And to this day, in fact, there's still ongoing fights because all of the video cameras from the Alfred P. Murrow building, the footage was destroyed, even though they were remotely stored.
