James Traficant: “The Waco hearings are over. There are two issues. No. 1: Is Janet Reno truly responsible for the most incompetent police…”

On the recordAugust 2, 1995
The Waco hearings are over. There are two issues. No. 1: Is Janet Reno truly responsible for the most incompetent police maneuver in American history; or is Janet Reno carrying the water, protecting Larry Potts, the FBI, and the ATF for their actions? Quite frankly, I do not know; but if ``the buck stops here'' means anything, Janet Reno should be fired and the people of Waco, TX, should petition their county prosecutor to immediately convene a grand jury, because it appeared to me as a former sheriff that FBI and ATF agents were lying through their teeth to the U.S. Congress. ``The buck stops here'' should mean something.
