Hillary Clinton was not secretly indicted in connection with the Oklahoma City bombing.

The Clintons at the time were in the middle of the Whitewater scandal, but Hillary wasn't set to be indicted, nor was she secretly indicted. According to a 1995 article in the Washington Post, this theory was spread by a guy named Sherman Skolnick, a contributor at the Conspiracy Nation newsletter. Skolnick was, quote, convinced that either Clinton's financial supporters or someone in the government ordered the bombing to obscure the fact that two days earlier, Hillary Rodham Clinton was indicted on two felony counts in the Whitewater probe. Sure. Secret indictments are kind of a standard trope of conspiracy, as you can see from the present and from the mid-90s. They're an appealing angle because there is such a thing as a sealed indictment, so you can craft all kinds of theories about them that feel like truth to people. Yeah, I'm waiting to find out fucking Xerxes' son was secretly indicted, for God's sakes. Could have been. It's old. It's so old. It's so old. The bottom line here is that Hillary was not indicted for Whitewater, and it has nothing to do with the Oklahoma City bombing.
