Janet Reno, the nations first female attorney general, approved the FBIs assault on the Davidians. Previously, she had zealously prosecuted child abuse cases in Dade County, Fla, though many of her high-profile convictions were later overturned because of gross violations of due process. Reno approved the FBI assault after being told babies were being beaten. It is not known who told her about the false claims of child abuse. Renos sterling reputation helped the government avoid any apparent culpability for the deaths of 27 children on April 19, 1993. After Reno publicly promised to take responsibility for the outcome at Waco, the subsequent Justice Department investigation was so shoddy that even the New York Times denounced the Waco whitewash. .
When Attorney General Reno testified to the House Waco hearing on August 1, 1995, she was challenged on FBIs use of 54-ton tanks to assail the Davidians. Reno replied that the tanks were not military weapons
I mean, it was like a good rent-a-car. When Rep. Bill Zeliff (R-N.H.) challenged her, Reno hectored: I think it is important, Mr. Chairman, as you deal with this issue, not to make statements like that can cause the confusion. This is the high-toned D.C. version of the old saying: Who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? Media coverage of Renos showdown with congressional Republicans ignored her rent-a-tank absurdity, instead praising her toughness and demeanor

It’s certain that the anniversary of the Murrah Building bombing will get plenty of attention, though (while ignoring the events that led to it).
Media ignored the 40th anniversary of the Pentagon bombing (2012). Obama was in a re-election campaign and didn’t need his mentor Bill Ayers in the news.
Why aren’t Clinton, Reno and Weasley Clark in jail?
All I hear is Columbine! Columbine! *spit*
Here is how it went down:
He has guns
So what?
Well he is a Christian.
So what?
Well heard he is boofing some of the women.
So what?
I heard He’s diddling the kids.
Lets use tanks to kill the women and kids and get his damn guns.
Now the same damned people want to sexualize your kids at age 3 and take your guns.
NAMBLA wanted to start at 8 years,
I was flabbergasted when I read it.
I think I’ll shave my head
and get a Begging bowl then
Live on a hill.
According to my various past perusings:
William Barr defended pro bono Lon Horiuchi, Federal sniper, who killed Vicki Weaver, American citizen, as she stood on her porch with her child in her arms at Ruby Ridge.
Horiuchi was adamantly unrepentant. Because his defense was successful, he was eligible to take part at Waco also.
Barr has also sided with past Second Amendment infringement legislation. I consider Barr an institutionalist, not a Constitutionalist, and I do not trust him.
Isn’t Reno dead?
The Biggest lesson is that the FBI is Still a Criminal Organization that should NEVER be Believed for any reason.
She is, but she did have a good sense of humor. I remember her going on SNL to dance with Will Ferrell, who was mocking her. That was epic.
Remember Waco.
Almost didn’t remind you
Bubba Clintoon and Janet Reno’s finest hour... burning children to death.
Ironically, she died the day before the 2016 election and her death was barely reported due to the election coverage and attempt to anoint Hillary....
