As Predicted, John Danforth Covers Up Waco Crimes For "The Establishment" Judicial Watch To Continue Its Investigatory Litigation (Washington, D.C.) As Judicial Watch predicted, when former Senator John Danforth, a Republican, was first appointed special counsel by Attorney General Janet Reno to investigate the Waco scandal, this venerable establishment figure has failed and thus thwarted justice for the American people. How can anyone conceivably justify the excessive force used by federal government agents in triggering the death of over 80 women and children? John Danforth, unfortunately, was plucked from a huge mega-law firm with huge corporate interests intertwined with the Clinton-Gore Administration through government contracts and other perks. As an establishment figure, Danforth was ill-equipped to investigate a scandal which rocks the very foundation of the U.S. Department of Justice and our government as a whole. "The unfortunate thing is that the lack of justice for the 80 or so dead women and children will now increase the divide between large segments of American people and its government. Indeed, the American people now to some extent can understand how certain minorities in this country, such as poor African-Americans, have come to believe that our system of justice does not represent the ‘little people,'" stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. Judicial Watch will continue its lawsuit aimed to uncover the true facts and obtain justice for the victims of the Waco massacre. |
