[@WhispersFromTheDark]

I remember when this happened and I felt for the poor guy. I've done Security work for 30+ years and know all too well that when you find something or see something you're opening up yourself for a heap of trouble and to be blamed for it. It's sad to say but it's true. Seen it happen on a much lesser degree than this but I understand why some would be reluctant to come forth with anything that would shine any type of light on themselves. And really the sad part is that a 'govt. Agency' would stoop so low as to throw someone under the bus (while knowing he was innocent) just to placate the political pressure from above to come up with a suspect. You would think they would have more self respect than to sacrifice and ruin an innocent Man's life like that. After all, they're supposedly the premier investigating agency in the country and shouldn't have done alot of the things that they were accused of. Why on earth would they take Mrs. Jewels Tupperware dishes, except to further harrass their family? And the Disney movie tapes? Really!?! Not to mention leaking the story and his name to the press... I'm wondering if some of these same guys weren't also part of the 'hit squad' that killed Randy Weavers family, or the Branch Division Children, or LaVoy Finicum.... And our tax dollars go for this? I'm hoping that Mr. Jewel is haunting each and everyone of them during their waking and sleeping hours.

[@xendava7217]

This was one of the saddest stories I can remember. This man found the bomb. Saved lives. Did his job in the best way. In return, called a killer. Listen to his denial. He sounded honest to me. Since they didn't know, he was blamed. He is gone now. But I still feel horrible for him.
