While it is true that Bush 41 was president when the shootings were planned and occurred, it is also true that Clinton was president when the large scale portions of the coverup were occurring.

While Bush 41 was in charge of Horouchi and the rest of the FBI at the time of the shooting and during the initial stages of the coverup, it's pretty believable that Bush 41 didn't really know anything about Ruby Ridge. Clinton, on the other hand, was president at a time when Ruby Ridge had already been in the news, and when the killings should have been investigated, but weren't.

I don't wish to minimize Bush 41's responsibility; as POTUS, he was responsible for the actions of his subordinates, whether he knew about them or not. It was Clinton, however, who was responsible for the actions of his own subordinates during the later phases of the cover up, and who can be more reasonably guessed to have had personal knowledge of the Ruby Ridge coverups.
