“or she would go public about Waco.”
I wonder what’s been hiding.
What will always be very,very creepy to me was how quickly the compound was leveled and hauled away after the incident. No chance, not one, for third party forensics or inquiry. The official version of the massacre was signed and sealed.
Absolutely.
I heard Morris say this last night.
Obviously ole Reno was well schooled in the CYA school of politics.
Now to get Bubba to comment on the claim.
With Hillary in the supreme count and Obama as President do we have the woman riding the beast ... ?
Let me guess. O’Really dismissed it with a wave of his hand.
How much credibility does Dick Morris have on any subject?
Seems to me, any thread with "Dick Morris" in the title should be skipped over by his detractors as irrelevant, untruthful, misleading, fictitious, mendacious and a hoax.
P.S.....all the above appellations directed at Morris are derived from the comments on this thread.

So when there was a congressional investigation into Waco (and there was) did she lie to Congress or send out others to lie on her behalf?
Well, we know the answer is YES because the agents said that no incendiary devices were used and then they admitted that yes some of the devices WERE incidiary and Chuck You Schumer said “well there have been lies told on both sides”. Lying to Congress USED to be a serious charge.
Then again, John Kerry did it in 1973 and got away with it too.
I wish they would start asking more questions. Like Timothy McVae has no connection to the Repblican establishment BUT Bill Ayers has a very direct connection to the PRESIDENT. There is no difference between Timothy McVae and Bill Ayers... Both are terrorists only the MSM and even our politicians don’t draw portray them equally.
So, Morris thinks that the US AG has a four year term. No matter, he's saying what we want to hear! /s
This may or may not be news to anyone...and I haven’t read the whole thread..but I heard DM on Hannity last night...
I interned a few years ago with the U.S. Marshals....and the deputies I worked with would talk about Waco and Ruby Ridge and how Janet Reno was at fault, but they talked over and over about how someone took the fall for her, and they couldn’t figure out why...as in...I remember a couple of them saying they couldn’t figure out what it was about her that made Clinton protect her....

I hope Dick Morris has plenty of security. It is amazing the number of coincidental deaths surround the Clintons.
Records request denied for SLC lawyer probing brother’s death
Oklahoma City » Family believes inmate was mistaken for conspirator, that guards killed him.

A federal judge in Utah says the Central Intelligence Agency can withhold documents on the Oklahoma City bombing investigation and prosecution, agreeing that the records were properly withheld for national security and other reasons.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups reveals for the first time that the CIA worked with the Department of Justice on the bombing probe, according to Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue, who requested the records under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Twelve documents connected to the investigation were at issue, including an April 20, 1995, cable that outlines a prosecutor’s attempt to extradite an “organized crime figure from another country.” Other records include cables sent in April and May 1995 relaying information provided to a U.S. ambassador by a foreign official; information from a “foreign liaison contact” that is classified as secret; and information from a foreign government about the possible identification of a suspect in the bombing.
The general descriptions were provided by the CIA in refusing Trentadue’s FOIA requests for documents on potential involvement of foreign nationals in the attack. The lawyer — who received some documents with only the name of the agency to which they were directed and others that were withheld entirely — argues in his suit that the dozen documents should have been released to him.
The CIA says it complied with FOIA and that each document falls under a category exempting it from release. The agency and Trentadue both filed motions asking Waddoups to find in their favor in the dispute, leading to the judge’s ruling on Friday.
Trentadue believes the records could provide information about the death of his brother in a federal prison cell in Oklahoma City a few months after the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Kenneth Trentadue, a 44-year-old convicted bank robber who was being held on an alleged parole violation, was found hanged in August 1995.
Authorities say Trentadue committed suicide, but his family believes the inmate was mistaken for a bombing conspirator and that guards strangled him with a set of plastic handcuffs in an interrogation that got out of hand. To support that theory, Jesse Trentadue has filed several lawsuits over the years in Utah’s federal court seeking records on the bombing investigation. The suit before Waddoups was filed in 2008.
Timothy McVeigh was convicted of carrying out the bombing and executed in 2001. Conspirator Terry Nichols is serving a life sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo.
Documents requested by Trentadue include ones on Andreas Carl Strassmeir, a German national who he believes might have been an associate of McVeigh.
On a separate issue, Trentadue on Monday filed a motion asking Waddoups to order the government to produce videotapes collected from surveillance cameras on the exterior of the Murrah Building on the morning of the bombing. The motion says the FBI has not responded to his requests for those tapes.
And on Thursday, Trentadue filed a motion asking for the complete videotape from the cruiser of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer who arrested McVeigh the day of the bombing.
Trentadue alleges that the DVD provided by the FBI appears to be an edited version because it shows only the search of McVeigh’s car and not the actual arrest. He says that a Houston Chronicle article published in 1995 said the tape shows a man apparently traveling with McVeigh. The FBI has denied the story, according to Trentadue’s motion.

How about those who did the actual shooting and drove the tanks at Waco?
Don't they share some responsibility for their own actions?
How do THEY sleep at night?
Or were they, as the Nazi soldiers claimed, "Just following orders?"
Who's going to raise this question, even though the Nuremberg Trials clearly held that a soldier has a duty to disobey a bad order?
Hmmm?
