Janet Reno would serve as Attorney General for the entire term of Bill Clinton's Presidency. It proved the third time was the charm. In this episode, we look back at Janet Reno the person and we will examine some of her tougher decisions that happened throughout her nearly 8 years as the Attorney General. Even though I am a Republican I would actually give her tenure high marks.
The toughest situation she ever faced occured right off the bat, as she inherited an ongoing standoff in Waco, Texas with a religious cult leader who was hold up inside a compound there with his followers. There were many stories coming out that he was abusing children that were inside the compound. She decided to act and it had disastrous consequences, that would later lead to a much bigger homegrown terrorist attack a year and a half later in Oklahoma City.
We will let you listen in on the news coverage of the day and hear the Attorney General herself testify before Congress as to what factors weighed on her mind as she made the decision to move forward. Wrong or right, she accepted full responsibility for the decision, and for what happened, and you have to admire that.
