Yeah the FBI claimed Koresh started the fires.
I would not trust them any further than I would the KGB.
At one time I thought they were a great agency but they violated the law at will at Ruby Ridge.
I also doubt that Koresh molested the girls. The dems got one to testify that she was molested but never any evidence.
The Koresh compound was miked the whole time. In addition to his own people confirming it, you can hear it on tape. Guys were yelling about “spread it around” while setting the first. That, and the fact that the first started at three different locations INSIDE the compound, none of which were FBI entry or assault points.
Koresh ordered other men to leave their wives and he took them up as his own. He made the men and women live on separate floors and separate wings. He even fathered the daughter of his second-in-command. Survivors attested to young girls being brought to Koresh.
In no way can Koresh come out looking like the good guy, or even a decent human being.
Ruby Ridge is an entirely different situation, but the FBI issued illegal “shoot on sight” orders and they only came out of it because of sovereign immunity. Lon Horuchi should have been tried for murder, but it would have put the FBI on trial.
“Yeah the FBI claimed Koresh started the fires.”
Well, there are tapes from inside the building on the day of the fires where Koresh and some of his followers talk about lighting the fires, so you don’t just need to take the FBI’s word for it.
“I also doubt that Koresh molested the girls.”
If he wasn’t molesting girls why did he need to marry multiple underage girls?
Should we also believe the Muslims’ story that Mohammed didn’t molest his underage wife?
I’m with you. Knowing what we know of the FBI role in the Trump dossier I wouldn’t trust them to find a lost kitten. And now they are in charge of the Las Vegas incident. Nothing good (or true) will come from that investigation.
