The Waco authorities (and their Obama regime DOJ/BATF overlords) are probably completely as a loss as they struggle to find a way out of this mess they’ve created. And the final costs could be huge. Waco should pay for the misdeeds of their employees. To the extent that other governmental agencies (e.g., BATF, FBI) were complicit, Waco can seek partial reimbursement from them...but NOT from the good citizens elsewhere in Texas who have no involvement in this fiasco.
And, of course, IBTG.
“And the final costs could be huge.”
And perhaps the greatest and most difficult to quantify cost is the further erosion of trust in law enforcement, the judicial system, and government in general.
