What crime was it that Koresh was being charged with? I mean it's not like he and the county sherriff were not on speaking terms. They first floated child abuse.....They next floated weapons charges of which Koresh was the holder of a Federal Firearms Dealer and was within the law and licensed by the same government to posess said weapons....Next they claimed he was cooking meth, hence the justification for military involvement.....

Exactly which crimes were terrorizing the community which could no longer be tolerated? The county sherriff had said that the charges leveled by the feds were nonsense.

The angle I had heard long ago was that Koresh had bought hundreds of acres of land on back tax sales. That land was being grazed by cattle which were owned by a friend of Hillary(cattle future) and Koresh was demanding grazing fees or per head rental of grazing rights. Somewhere in the $20,000 range over a five year period. Instead of paying, the friend of Hillary's called in his $100,000 favor and it quickly spun out of control with all the alphabet soup agency love fest for Clinton's admiration. Then stepped in Wesley Clarke.

"What crime was it that Koresh was being charged with?"

Remember after the place was burned and they showed all the illegal weapons that were discovered inside? Oh, you don't? Funny, neither do I. No crying foul over missing weapons of mass detruction that time, was there?

Koresh wasn't being charged with a crime.

It was a search warrant.
