As we all know, Janet Reno was the thorn in the side of Judicial Watch. Reno was able to stop all JW cases via her ongoing ability to run interference for the Clinton cronies. Now that President Bush is in office and with Ashcroft as AG, let's be patient and see what transpires.
Unfortunately, now that Ashcroft is AG, HE is blocking JW from deposing Reno in re: the Wen Ho Lee case! One would think that an allegedly conservative AG would let JW (or anyone else, for that matter) go after Reno for her "improprieties." All I can think of is that Ashcroft is thinking his heinie may be in the fan someday and that he doesn't want to set any precedents for AGs (including himself) being deposed.
I wonder if Ashcroft will run interference for Reno, again, when JW tries to depose her on behalf of the neighbors in Little Havana in re: the Elian Gonzalez matter. IMHO, Ashcroft will oppose it. If Ashcroft does, however, his true colors will be forever exposed. Unfortunately, it will be too late to try and get rid of him. Hmmm, wonder if Bush will run interference for Ashcroft the way Clinton ran interference for Reno? (Pesky question, but someone had to ask it.)
In all fairness to JW, it wouldn't make any difference if another organization brought suit against Reno & henchmen on the exact same charges as JW, it would still be stonewalled by Ashcroft/DOJ. Can you say, "Deja vu, all over again?" ;^)
