Blowback Is Coming… 7/22/25
From 2024 into 2025, over roughly 9-10 months, I worked with journalist Margaret Roberts on her upcoming book, titled Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing. My role was that of a research consultant—a friendly resource available to help with a project that I viewed as significant and a righteous undertaking. It was both a pleasure and an honor to collaborate on this project.
Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue connected me with Roberts, whom he knew for years (read all about that in the book), to help with the book: reading, fact-checking, providing sources and documents, answering questions—I’d be her “foxhole buddy” in what we saw as a mammoth battle not unlike David versus Goliath: after all, the full power of the federal government has been used, over the years, to stop and silence investigation into Kenneth Trentadue’s murder and any probing of America’s deadliest domestic terror attack.
Over the years, investigations that were supposed to be conducted went by the wayside—the Senate Judiciary Committee’s proposed hearings on Kenneth’s murder were sabotaged; Bombing-related stories set to air on ABC News 20/20 were canceled after DOJ pressure, and witnesses in the case suddenly went missing or became reluctant to speak after visits from the FBI.
We knew it would be an uphill battle. Knowing this to be true, I had no reservations: from the moment Jesse called me in February 2024 and told me about the project, I said “count me in.”
After that phone call, I was introduced to the author, and we started having weekly discussions. I went into it excited, having just finished serving in a similar capacity for HBO/Max’s Emmy-nominated documentary film “An American Bombing: the Road to April 19th” where I was a research consultant—providing documents, questions to ask witnesses, and detailed information that the documentary filmmakers needed to tell the story right.
I was eager to jump right into the fray and do it again, because if anything, I’m all about collaboration and sharing material if it will advance the mutual struggle to bring truth to the forefront.
