little eye-opener on Reno

greenspun.com : LUSENET : FRL friends : One Thread

Here is more background on J Reno from someone who "was there".

Complete with phone number and email addy to contact him. Sent to me from a hard core friend after WACO re surfaced last summer.

Letter follows: ____________________________________________

My name is Jack Thompson. I am the last Republican to run against Janet Reno, as I was her opponent in 1988 for the office of Dade Count (Florida) State Attorney.

One of the reasons I ran against Reno was the fact that she was blackmailed by a criminal pornography enterprise. I gave the proof in my campaign.

I also provided to Bill Clinton, before he even nominated her to be Attorney General (I heard from a friend in the Justice Department that she was on the "short list" of nominees), not only the proof of her blackmail but also the evidence of her five drunk driving incidents, her use of call girls, and her disturbing ties to organized crime.

I gave this information to Clinton through my best friend at Vanderbilt Law School, Class of 1976, an attorney by the name of M. Samuel Jones, who by then was a partner to Bruce Lindsey in the Little Rock firm of Wright, Lindsey & Jennings. Confirmation that Clinton got all the information that disqualified Reno from practicing law, let alone being the AG, came in a phone call from someone at the White House before her confirmation hearings who wanted to know all that I knew. His name? Lanny Davis. Davis clearly wanted to know what I knew not to disqualify her but to discredit me should it all hit the fan in public. This was the beginning of my education about the ways of Washington and of the political elite of both parties who protect themselves rather than the interests of the American people.

I say that because now I am writing letters to Senator Danforth to ask him to subpoena me to testify in his "investigation" of what happened at Waco and its aftermath in order that his team might consider the fact that Reno had a powerful disincentive to get to the bottom of Waco. The disincentive is, of course, the blackmail information that the President has on Reno. It is how he has kept her on line on Chinagate and every other "gate" for which she has proven so useful.

The reason Danforth won't want to get into that is the complicity of the Senate Republicans in assuring that Reno became A.G. Orrin Hatch, for example, knew of the five police officers who pulled her over for drunk driving while she was State Attorney down here. How do I know? Because his Judiciary Committee staffer, John Bliss, told me that Hatch had the police officers but did not want to go public with them because "The Senate Republicans don't want to mess with the Anita Hill crowd again."

So, folks, there you have it: Danforth won't get to the bottom of Waco, which means getting to the bottom of the cover-up, because to do so exposes the Republicans as complicit in the Waco disaster. They knew Reno was a drunk and a compromised one at that, who could be controlled with this and other information by the extortionate White House, and yet they sat on their hands at the moment that she could have been denied the post.

Orrin Hatch has the blood of 24 kids on his hands. I have told all this to Danforth, and he won't even have his people talk to me. I said this on Fox News Channel on Labor Day while being interviewed about Waco, and

the interviewer freaked and pulled the plug on the interview.

Fox News, if you're wanting to do something, should be inundated with calls asking me to be interviewed in depth about this. And Danforth should be pressured to talk to me.

I leave it in your hands. I have tried everything to get this word out. I can testify to all of this under oath, and I have witnesses to corroborate it all.

But America will not know the truth about Waco until it knows that Reno was picked by Clinton to be his firewall between all his criminality and

accountability for it.

And she's just plain creepy, isn't she? There is something distinctly non-human about her. (Gulp) However, I didn't disagree with the raid of little Elian's house,...I don't think there was any easy answer there. It's probably not an easy job...theres always someone who's going to dislike what you do..but can we all agree she botched WACO big time? That alone should have spelled the end for her.

Question..how long does one stay the Attorney General? It is an appointed postition, correct? So does she go when this administration hopefully goes?
