Dick Morris Bombshell: Reno told Clinton she stays or she blows the whistle on Waco

[Stayfree]

During a discussion on O'Reilly about Bill Clinton's recent attempts to compare the Tea Party movement to the impact of conservative talk radio like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc. as having caused Timothy McVay to bomb the Oklahomea Federal building, Dick Morris suggested that Bill should zipper it because Clinton had indicated that this is the first time that he has divulged a comment by Bill that he had to renominate Janet Reno for another term as Attorney General or she would go public about Waco.

WOW!!!!!

[GOPJ]

Oh come on - time doesn’t change facts. When that number of people are murdered there’s no statue of limitation...

[Waco]

I always figured it was something like that or she delivered a lot of B.J.s.

[PA Engineer]

Given the amount of time since then, waiting until now to divulge such a thing lacks credibility.

Why?

[bigjoesaddle]

This Born again Christian accidently let fly a “Holy Sh*t” when Morris said this. SOmething we all figured happened, but WOW!

[Tex-Con-Man]

If I recall a lot of rumors were going around that Clinton didn't want her anymore.

I remember that as well...there was alot of speculation about removing her for the second term, and she let it be known that she liked her job, and because of all the dirt she had on Clinton...she got her way.

"I always figured it was something like that or she delivered a lot of B.J.s."

Thanks for the imagery that seared, SEARED into my head.

[KoRn]

"Why?"

What's it been... 15 year since he was working for them, and he's JUST NOW getting around to talking about this? Why didn't he mention it last year, or the year before? I don't buy it.

[Republic]

That does explain one mystery that’s always pondered me - how Reno was allowed to keep her job.WOW. Good point.

Obviously she did not order the murders, and of course, knew who did using reno as a cover.

[Washi]

The little bomb-shell was from 1999. The only people that will ever hear about this are reading this thread.

[Travis McGee]

I’d trust the toe sucker as much as a cobra in my bed.

BATF were determined to go in guns blazin’. Went downhill from there.

They needed a good "event" to justify their existence, and invited the media along to watch and report on it.

They even had a name for it: "Operation Showtime".

[TankerKC]

Huh? That doesn't make sense. Cabinet officials don't have to be renominated or reconfirmed.

Correct, but look at folks here buying this. What a shame. What ever happened to critical thinking?

[Revolting cat!]

Yeah, but take a look at your own critical thinking regarding the credibility of the above report of “renomination”, huh?

[stickywillie]

amen. perhaps his mouth has been full of toes, since then. good grief. what a time to be alive in America.

[Tymesup]

“As another poster stated, they could have waited them out. “

If I remember correctly, the Branch Davidians were about to run out of water. If you didn’t want them coming out, you had to go in after them.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I sure hope Rush gets this before tomorrow’s show!!!

[Tymesup]

“BATF were determined to go in guns blazin’”

Which included killing some puppies, IIRC.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I’m sure Dick Morris has lots of ammunition yet to be used at just the right time. I don’t doubt that for a second.

I think you should stop re-writing history. The jurors who sat in the trials of the Waco survivors were appalled at the government's conduct. Several said the wrong people were on trial (as in: the federals should have been tried).

Koresh could have been arrested on one of his many trips to town if the Clintons hadn't wanted to publicly incinerate the Branch Davidians.

I believe Vince Foster was about to spill the beans regarding Hillary's involvement in the decision at Waco when he mysteriously committed suicide and moved his own dead body to Fort Marcy Park.

I believe Colin Powell was in on the decision also as he was a senior military official at the White House. He may have directly ordered the Delta Force to participate in the assault, in violation of federal law.

I think the Clintons had this potential disclosure hanging over Colin Powell's head to keep him from running for president.

[TankerKC]

What about it? There is no renomination. That was my point.
