WASHINGTON - Four months after the disastrous 1992 siege at Ruby Ridge, federal prosecutors in Idaho sent an urgent request to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
A frustrated prosecutor was trying to build a murder case against the white separatists involved in the standoff and needed to review FBI records. But he ran into an unusual problem. The FBI refused to produce the materials, claiming at first that they contained “sensitive information” about the events that led to the shooting deaths of Vicki Weaver and her son at a remote Idaho cabin.
The prosecutor appealed and his boss called a high-ranking Justice Department official to complain about the lack of FBI cooperation.
What seemed at the time like a bureaucratic tug of war over paperwork now has taken on new significance as U.S. Attorney Eric Holder probes a possible high-level cover-up of FBI actions at Ruby Ridge. A Justice Department task force report concluded last year that high-ranking FBI officials went to great lengths to keep documents from prosecutors trying Randy Weaver on charges of murdering a federal marshal.

Didn’t realize gerbils were that loud? Oh well.
I didn’t mean to say he was involved in the attack at Ruby Ridge, but he did play a part in the aftermath.
Wasn't Holder second in command (under Reno) during Waco?

No, he was U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
No, he didn’t. He was a local D.C. judge during Ruby Ridge, then U.S. Attorney for D.C. He didn’t become Deputy AG under Reno until 1997.
“Have a friend who was a DC journalist during her reign. Had an apartment right under Reno’s and would constantly complain of ‘weird noises’ coming from there during the night.”
I heard she had bad gas.
Well... that’s how ‘search engines’ work. They take everything that is added to the internet and index it so it can be searched for.
Every comment everyone makes in instantly indexed.
I stand corrected on that point. Thanks.
Perhaps I misunderstood the 1995 Seattle Times article I referenced in post #16.
I was just pointing out that his name seems to come up a lot in these instances
Ok. Not much separation there. Especially under Clinton.
And Elian Gonzales?

He was Reno’s #2 then. He would have been involved.
“Vomiting is a natural reaction to Janet Reno.”
Ha! so true.
