Here is most incredible NEWS I find here:
In case anyone was in doubt, Janet Reno herself affirmed the policy several months later in a July 19, 1995, memo that we have unearthed. In it, the then-Attorney General instructs all U.S. Attorneys about avoiding "the appearance" of overlap between intelligence-related activities and law-enforcement operations.
Janet Reno just testified she didn't know about Gorelick's wall!
I continue to place lesser significace on the *plot* you identify than the risk that computers wouldn't recognize the date change and cause unimaginable bedlam, which was the canard the Klintoon administration allowed to fester, and which Gorelick offered as threat deserving of a 9/11-type category on her cable news appearances.
