You might call his office to learn how to obtain a copy. I purchased mine back in '93/'94 time period, loaned it out and never got it back so I don't have a source on it at the moment. By the way, in case you aren't aware of this little fact, I'll pass it along: General Stonewall Reno was confirmed by the United States Senate 98-0 without an FBI background investigation. Thank you Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. Oh, I forgot - you did it for the children. Devvy Kidd John B. Thompson, Attorney 1172 South Dixie Highway, Suite 111 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 Phone: 305-666-4366 August 24, 1999 The Honorable Walter Smith United States District Court Waco, Texas VIA E-MAIL Re: Information Pertaining to the Branch Davidian Wrongful Death Action Dear Judge Smith: I hestitate to intrude regarding the above, but I am privy to certain information that may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence that may help inform the jury as to why the unfortunate deaths in Waco at the Branch Davidian compound occurred. Today's reportage of an FBI Agent's statement that pyrotechnic grenades were actually used prompts me to approach Your Honor. May I first note that I am rated "A/V" by Martindale-Hubbell, so I do not make any assertions herein lightly and unmindful of the consequences should they not be true. Secondly, I am record counsel in the much-publicized federal lawsuit filed in Paducah, Kentucky, in April of this year on behalf of the parents of the three girls shot and killed in the school shootings there. Having been on 60 Minutes, Today, CNN, Fox, ABC World News Tonight, and NBC Nightly News, largely because our suit was filed before the Littleton massacre and predicted it, because of the commonality of the entertainment products involved, I am not looking for publicity in that or any other matter. I have plenty to contend with. I am providing this information because I believe it my duty as an officer of the court. Further, I am a Christian who understands that I do not have the luxury or privilege of falsely defaming anyone. But I do know and can prove the following: I was the last Republican to run against now Attorney General Janet Reno, having been her opponent in the general election of 1988 for the office of Dade County (Florida) State Attorney. Janet Reno was then and is now a chronic alcoholic, so inebriated at times during office hours that she would pass out at her desk here in Miami. There were five police officers ready, willing, and able to testify at her Senate confirmation hearings for the office of A.G. that they pulled her over on five separate occasions for drunk driving while she was State Attorney. Another individual and I were approached by the Senate Judiciary Committee with this information. I have spoken with another officer regarding similar conduct by Ms. Reno. After Waco, I was called by senior political reporter David Johnston of the New York Times, who told me of Reno's drunkenness while she was A.G. I could go on about this problem she has, including its interplay with her Parkinson's symptoms, but the point is that Ms. Reno was probably "out of it" when the decision to make the incursion into the compound was made. She wasn't operating a vehicle while drunk; she was operating a Department of Justice while drunk. Secondly, and related to what I understand may be some issues in the case before you, Janet Reno has a very, very, very long history of making up, out of whole cloth, child abuse and sexual child abuse allegations in order to burnish her reputation as a child rights advocate. Dorothy Rabinowitz of the The Wall Street Journal, arguably the dean of all American newpaper editorialists, exposed this habit of hers, which habit helped secure a long-standing and completely fabricated criminal conviction of a South Miami police officer, Grant Snowden. Also, senior editor of Readers Digest, Trevor Armbrister, also exposed Reno on this propensity to make these things up, thereby crushing innocent people with false child abuse claims. I say all this as someone who myself has been a child rights advocate who has represented sex abuse victims. This is relevant because you will recall that Ms. Reno, the night of the incursion into the compound, stated categorically on Larry King Live on CNN that the assault occurred in order to save the children from this abuse.She has since had to admit that no such proof ever existed. She knew at the time that this was a fabrication. She was not mistaken. She knew she was making it up. She has built a career upon making such allegations up. I believe what I and others can show, then, is that Reno was most likely impaired by alcohol abuse at the time of the Waco assault, and further that she knew there was absolutely nothing to the concerns about child abuse. She lied. Your Honor, you know the case before you better than I, but I would respectfully submit that these bits of information, which can be corroborated independent of me, may indeed have a bearing upon why and how the conflagration that ended in the lives of innocent children occurred. I am willing to state under oath what I know. I am sure others will as well. I am not sure how best to get this information into the hands of the plaintiffs. I will conclude by stating further that the House of Representative's Majority Counsel for the Impeachment Inquiry, David Schippers, sent his top two investigators to Miami to debrief me about what I know about Ms. Reno in the above and other regards, some of it so sensitive that I think it best not to put it in this e-mail. The next day Mr. Schippers acted upon my information. It pertains to blackmail. t may provide a further explanation as to why the Justice Department has been less than forthcoming with the information as to what really went on at Waco. Your honor, if you choose to move on and do nothing with this information, I shall understand. I happen to believe, however, that the survivors of what the Justice Department did--killing the children to save them--have a right to know all that there is to know. Respectfully submitted, John B.
