Janet Reno, First Female US Attorney General, Dies at 78
New York Post ^ | November 7, 2016

Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general and the epicenter of several political storms during the Clinton administration, has died. She was 78.

Reno died early Monday from complications of Parkinson’s disease, her goddaughter Gabrielle D’Alemberte said. D’Alemberte said Reno spent her final days at home in Miami surrounded by family and friends.

Reno, a former Miami prosecutor who famously told reporters “I don’t do spin,” served nearly eight years as attorney general under President Bill Clinton, the longest stint in a century.

Seems she has a habit of dying today.

I guess the FR search engine also died since all these posters can’t seem to find it before posting it yet again.

"At this moment I do not have a personal relationship with a computer."
--
Janet Reno

I guessing she might be wishing she could have a personal relationship with a computer... or the Creator of the universe right about now.

"The good lawyer is the great salesman"
--Also Janet Reno

Rev 21:8

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
NIV

Have nothing good to say about the child-killing monster.

I hope she burns in hell and suffers for all eternity like the children that evil bitch burned to death in Waco.

Reno claimed she "took responsibility" for the dozens of children who suffered a horrific death --burned alive-- at Waco.

But there were no real consequences for her. Today's obituaries will hardly mention what happened at Waco, if the topic is even brought up at all.

Btw, it was Eric Holder, deputy AG at the time, who was in control of the DOJ, not Reno.

And I've always suspected it was Hillary who exerted the real power at DOJ, with Reno a mere figurehead (whom Hillary installed), and Eric Holder her tool.

We know that Hillary ordered bombing strikes on innocent civilians in Serbia -- so why should we not suspect her of having ordered the incendiary assault on innocents at Waco?

Heck, there are only about six ‘Reno is dead’ threads. One of those movies about Noah a couple years ago had 50+ threads!

On second thought, maybe 50 threads will be posted about Reno once the nattering nabobs of negativism disappear after the election... Everybody likes to hear the world has become a better place.

Come on guys she was great. If the Clintons had a problem she just opened an investigation on which she could not comment, brilliant. </s>
