He backed off the USS Cole investigation too. Wayne Madsen said it was because Israel shot the ship with a cruise missile fired from a dolphin-class submarine that Israel had recently purchased from Germany. Makes me wonder who fired at the Pentagon on 9/11.
Sorry, maybe I’ve missed something here (and apologies if I have) but why do you assume that “right after” means the morning of the bombing (the 19th)?
While it might suggest that, it is a vague wording and there’s no evidence that’s actually what O’Neil meant (again, unless I’ve misunderstood).

Tim McVeigh was identified on April 21st by Leah McGown and Pat Livingston.
If O'Neill were asked on April 21st who he 'thought did it' he would have said 'actually we have identified who did it'
The original piece indicates that O'Neill was being asked, before any evidence had come in, who he 'thought' might be behind it. While some officials were saying 'middle eastern terrorists', O'Neill instead said "Timothy McVeigh"
'Right after' means on the 19th at the latest the 20th before the sketches are completed, as again, O'Neill was being asked who he "thought did it" -- in advance of any confirmed details or much less any investigation. The fact that the person he thought did it was known before the identification is central to the story about O'Neill's lucite memento.
