“You need to know that Eric Holder…played a key role in covering up the torture-murder death of my brother, Kenneth Michael Trentadue.”[1]
This is what Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue wrote in December 2008 to prospective incoming chairman of the Senate Justice Committee, Patrick Leahy. The newly elected Barack Obama had made Holder his choice for Attorney General and Trentadue was going to do everything in his power to stop this shameful appointment from going forward.
Kenneth Trentadue was killed in Oklahoma City on August 21, 1995, four months after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building. He had been taken into custody by the FBI and placed in an isolation cell at a federal facility in El Reno, Oklahoma.
The official government report on cause of death presented to Trentadue’s family stated that Kenneth had hanged himself in his cell. But massive bruises and lacerations all over his body compelled even the Oklahoma City medical examiner to state “very likely he was murdered.”[2]
Unable to get satisfactory information from government officials on what had happened to his brother, in 1997 Jesse Trentadue filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit against the Department of Justice. In it, Trentadue made the extraordinary claim that the Department had hidden and “destroyed evidence that would have exposed my brother’s murderers.”
As a result of that lawsuit, in 2001 the Trentadue family was awarded $1.1 million, and the federal judge indeed later ruled that “the FBI had lied in court…and destroyed evidence.”[3]
Using e-mails and handwritten notes acquired in that lawsuit, Trentadue demonstrated in his correspondence to Patrick Leahy that then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder had engineered a scheme to sidetrack any investigation into his brother’s death in order to “deflect congressional oversight and media attention.”
Calling their agenda the “Trentadue mission,” members of Holder’s DOJ team compared their efforts to “coordinating the invasion of Normandy.” They referred to “meeting with [Holder] to discuss ‘Trentadue-does’ and ‘Trentadue-don’t’,” concerning a carefully crafted press release designed to announce that a federal grand jury had just concluded its work and found no reason to charge anyone with a crime.
Of course that October 9 press release failed to say the grand jury had actually, secretly concluded its business in August, having been supplied with only the “evidence” the Department of Justice saw fit to provide.
The lengths to which Eric Holder and others went to stifle any investigation of the Trentadue affair make it clear that it was not simply a federal prisoner interrogation that went too far. CoachIsRight.com will present the known history of this extraordinary Clinton administration affair and cover-up through the coming days.

Eric Holder? That stalwart defender of intimidation of White People at the Polls? He could not, would not have condoned such actions! Why he was in the Clinton administration, and we know how honest and upright he is.
Thank you,
Robert Walker
Perhaps Holder like Obozo, our Liar in Chief is above the law? Obozo has commited numerous felonies whild in office, Congress looks the other way, the “supreme”Court won’t hear it. Dept. of (in)Justice!!!
On March 24, 2009 Attorney General David Ogden gave a press conference and stated that President Barack Obama authorized a new operation in the war on illegal firearms to Mexico, it was named Operation Fast and Furious.
Yes, AG Holder has a lot of blood on his hands. He knew about Operation Fast and Furious, and so did the President as he authorized it. A.G. Holder has zero integrity. Mr. Holder should be incarcerated and awaiting trial.
I have been a civil servant, and part of C.Y. A. (cover your a@@) is knowing that you do not have to follow an unlawful order. What part of unlawful order did you not understand Mr. Attorney General Holder?
I’ll bet this has something to do with the entire Oklahoma City bombing cover-up. This entire incident was pawned off as “domestic” terrorism when it was IN FACT perpetrated almost entirely by members of Sadaam Hussein’s Republican Guard. These men infiltrated this country on the pretext of seeking asylum. They masqueraded as maintenance men constructing the large truck bomb. Nichols and McVeigh were useful idiots often referred to as “lily whites” for purposes of carrying out these plots.
The 1st World Trade Center had already occurred on the Clinton watch; this would have been terrorist act #2–had it come out that Iraq was involved….then what? Clinton would have had to had made a decision. Oh no…not that!! Then just a couple of months before his re-election, that plane was shot out of the sky on the east coast. 200 witnesses said they saw a streak of light from the surface to the air. Explosive material was found when the plane was recovered from the ocean floor yet they ruled it an accident.
Personally, I believe the later 2 were both terrorist acts that were covered to ensure Clinton’s re-election.
Read, The Third Terrorist by Jayna Davis. Impeccably researched, with very credible, high profile people in our government vouching for her. Other very High profile elected officials like Senator Spector and Inhoff aiding in the cover-ip.
When Flight 800 (TWA) went down there was media coverage shortly after, including showing the radar screen tape..clearly showing the trace and intercept of the missile and the TWA plane….we remarked about it, discussed it….and they never showed it again—gone! Our conclusing remains the same today as it did then….a surface to air missile took out that flight, and all the cover-up in the world won’t make that go away.
Be patient everyone. They will be judged by a just judge, GOD himself.
tomfk777, I believe God will hold all of us accountable at the end of the line, however, I will not be patient. He helps those who help themselves. It’s great to pray, give thanks and ask for help…but God needs foot soldiers here on earth to fight evil and defeat it. Don’t you think the forces of evil are diligently grinding away at our way of life in an effort to destroy everything good and decent. It is incumbent on all decent men and women to stand up and fight. To pray and do nothing else is a lazy man’s way. Volunteer to be poll watchers, election clerks, and get involved in the many, many issues threatening our country. We have very little time left.
