It was pretty obvious that Janet Reno was selected because she was a woman. Hillary , had likely demanded that Bill appoint a woman because he owed her due to her loyalty to him ( recall the stand by your man 60 minutes interview). Hillary saved his candidacy and her future aspirations.

Bill dutifully capitulated and selected a woman, then another and then a third: Janet Reno.

One of the first two failed due to issues with hiring illegal aliens, I believe that was Zoey Baird. I do not recall the name of the second one, but the real point is; Janet Reno was near the bottom of the barrel and held the position of worst AG for many years. That position was then taken by Eric Holder, and is now held by the embittered Merrick Garland.

Kimba Wood was the other one and had a similar issue. Nannygate’ became the term for those failures.
